# SSH Tools

> Use this tool when you need to securely interact with remote servers via SSH, execute commands, and manage persistent sessions. It solves problems in system administration, server diagnostics, and remote management by providing a stable interface for command execution across multiple interactions. The tool accepts connection details and commands as input and returns execution results, making it ideal for use cases that require repeated server interactions.

## Description

The SSH Tools MCP server provides a secure interface for AI assistants to connect to and interact with remote servers via SSH. Built using the FastMCP framework and Paramiko library, it exposes three core tools: connecting to SSH servers, executing commands on connected servers, and disconnecting from sessions. This implementation maintains a single global connection state, allowing for persistent SSH sessions throughout a conversation, making it particularly valuable for system administration tasks, server diagnostics, and remote management workflows that require command execution across multiple interactions.
