🛠️ Installation

Prerequisites

• Node.js 18+ and npm/yarn

• Claude Code CLI (optional, for MCP integration)

• SSH access to target servers

• Git

Installation Steps

# Clone 倉庫
git clone https://github.com/your-org/ssh-mcp-secure.git
cd ssh-mcp-secure

# 安裝依賴
npm install

# 構建項目
npm run build

# 配置環境變量
cp .env.example .env
# 編輯 .env 文件填入實際配置

# 測試安裝
npm run security:audit

🚀 Quick Start

1. Configure Server Credentials

Create a .env file:

# 服務器配置
MY_SERVER_HOST=example.com
MY_SERVER_PORT=22
MY_SERVER_USERNAME=myuser
MY_SERVER_PRIVATE_KEY_PATH=/path/to/private_key
MY_SERVER_DEFAULT_DIR=/home/myuser
MY_SERVER_DESCRIPTION=Production Server

# 安全設置
SSH_ALLOW_PASSWORD_AUTH=false
SSH_REQUIRE_KEY_AUTH=true
SSH_MAX_AUTH_RETRIES=3
SSH_LOCKOUT_DURATION=300

# MFA 設置
MFA_ENABLED=true
MFA_REQUIRED_FOR_PRODUCTION=true

# 加密設置
ENCRYPTION_ALGORITHM=AES-256-GCM
ENCRYPTION_KEY_ROTATION_DAYS=90

# 審計日誌
AUDIT_ENABLED=true
AUDIT_LOG_PATH=/var/log/ssh-mcp/audit.log

2. Generate SSH Keys

# 生成 ED25519 密鑰 (推薦)
ssh-keygen -t ed25519 -a 100 -C "your_email@example.com"

# 或生成 RSA-4096 密鑰
ssh-keygen -t rsa -b 4096 -C "your_email@example.com"

# 設置正確的權限
chmod 600 ~/.ssh/id_ed25519
chmod 644 ~/.ssh/id_ed25519.pub

3. Configure MFA

On first connection, the system automatically generates MFA settings:

# 啟動服務器
npm start

# 掃描 QR 碼配置 TOTP
# 使用 Google Authenticator 或 Authy

4. Connect and Execute

// 安全連接
const session = await secureConnect({
  serverName: "my-server",
  requireMFA: true
});

// 執行命令
const result = await secureExecute({
  sessionId: session.sessionId,
  command: "ls -la"
});

console.log(result.stdout);

🔍 Security Best Practices

1. Environment Variables

# 永遠不要提交 .env 文件
echo ".env*" >> .gitignore

# 使用強密碼
export ENCRYPTION_MASTER_KEY=$(openssl rand -hex 32)

# 限制文件權限
chmod 600 .env

2. SSH Keys

# 生成安全密鑰
ssh-keygen -t ed25519 -a 100

# 設置正確權限
chmod 600 ~/.ssh/id_ed25519
chmod 644 ~/.ssh/id_ed25519.pub

3. Credential Management

• Use credential rotation (90-day default)

• Enable MFA for production environments

• Regularly audit credential access

• Use separate credentials for each environment

4. Network Security

• Whitelist IP addresses whenever possible

• Use jump hosts for sensitive servers

• Enable SSH rate limiting

• Monitor for suspicious activity
