Implementation Reference
- src/index.ts:1127-1153 (handler)The handler function for 'ssh_list_credentials' tool. It parses empty args, iterates over the credentialStore Map, creates a sanitized list of credentials (hiding passwords/private keys), formats as text response listing credential IDs, hosts, users, auth type, and last used time.
private async handleListCredentials(args: unknown) { ListCredentialsSchema.parse(args); const credentials = Array.from(credentialStore.entries()).map(([id, cred]) => ({ credentialId: id, host: cred.host, port: cred.port, username: cred.username, hasPassword: !!cred.password, hasPrivateKey: !!cred.privateKeyPath, createdAt: cred.createdAt, lastUsed: cred.lastUsed })); return { content: [ { type: 'text', text: credentials.length > 0 ? `Saved credentials:\n${credentials.map(c => `- ${c.credentialId}: ${c.username}@${c.host}:${c.port} (${c.hasPassword ? 'password' : 'key'}) - Last used: ${c.lastUsed}` ).join('\n')}` : 'No saved credentials found', }, ], }; } - src/index.ts:388-396 (registration)Registration of the 'ssh_list_credentials' tool in the ListToolsRequest handler response. Defines the tool name, description, and empty input schema.
{ name: 'ssh_list_credentials', description: 'List all saved SSH credentials', inputSchema: { type: 'object', properties: {}, required: [] }, }, - src/index.ts:507-508 (registration)Registration of the handler in the CallToolRequest switch statement.
case 'ssh_list_credentials': return await this.handleListCredentials(args); - src/index.ts:137-137 (schema)Zod schema for input validation of ssh_list_credentials tool (empty object as no parameters required).
const ListCredentialsSchema = z.object({}); - src/index.ts:46-46 (helper)In-memory Map storing SSH credentials used by the list_credentials handler.
const credentialStore = new Map<string, StoredCredential>();
