| 25 | +**Title:** MCP SSH Manager v3.1.0 - Comprehensive SSH automation with 92% context reduction |
| 26 | + |
| 27 | +**Body:** |
| 28 | + |
| 29 | +I've been working on MCP SSH Manager, a Model Context Protocol server that brings comprehensive SSH management to Claude Code (and OpenAI Codex). |
| 30 | + |
| 31 | +**What is it?** |
| 32 | + |
| 33 | +A complete DevOps automation platform with 37 MCP tools for managing remote SSH servers directly from Claude Code: |
| 34 | + |
| 35 | +- 🔧 Core SSH operations (execute, upload, download, sync) |
| 36 | +- 💾 Backup & restore (MySQL, PostgreSQL, MongoDB, files) |
| 37 | +- 🏥 Health monitoring (CPU, RAM, disk, network, services) |
| 38 | +- 🗄️ Database management (dumps, imports, queries) |
| 39 | +- 🚇 SSH tunnels (local, remote, SOCKS) |
| 40 | +- 📦 Advanced features (persistent sessions, server groups, profiles, hooks) |
| 41 | + |
| 42 | +**What's new in v3.1.0?** |
| 43 | + |
| 44 | +Tool activation system - reduce context usage by **92%**! |
| 45 | + |
| 46 | +- Enable only the tools you need (minimal mode: 5 tools vs all 37) |
| 47 | +- 6 tool groups: Core, Sessions, Monitoring, Backup, Database, Advanced |
| 48 | +- CLI: `ssh-manager tools configure` for interactive setup |
| 49 | +- Export auto-approval configs for Claude Code |
| 50 | + |
| 51 | +**Why build this?** |
| 52 | + |
| 53 | +Existing MCP SSH tools offer 2-4 basic operations. I needed enterprise DevOps features: automated backups, health monitoring, database operations, etc. |
| 54 | + |
| 55 | +**Installation:** |
| 56 | + |
| 57 | +```bash |
| 58 | +npm install -g mcp-ssh-manager |
| 59 | +``` |
| 60 | + |
| 61 | +**Configuration:** |
| 62 | + |
| 63 | +Claude Code: |
| 64 | +```json |
| 65 | +{ |
| 66 | + "mcpServers": { |
| 67 | + "ssh-manager": { |
| 68 | + "command": "node", |
| 69 | + "args": ["/path/to/mcp-ssh-manager/src/index.js"] |
| 70 | + } |
| 71 | + } |
| 72 | +} |
| 73 | +``` |
| 74 | + |
| 75 | +OpenAI Codex: |
| 76 | +```bash |
| 77 | +ssh-manager codex setup |
| 78 | +``` |

| 84 | +- Glama.ai: https://glama.ai/mcp/servers/@bvisible/mcp-ssh-manager |
| 85 | +- Documentation: Full guides for all features |
| 86 | + |
| 87 | +**Features I'm proud of:** |
| 88 | + |
| 89 | +- Dual compatibility (Claude Code + OpenAI Codex) |
| 90 | +- Profile system (default, docker, frappe, nodejs) |
| 91 | +- Hooks for automation (pre-deploy, post-deploy, on-error) |
| 92 | +- Command aliases (reduce typing) |
| 93 | +- Comprehensive testing & CI/CD |
| 94 | +- 92% context reduction with tool activation |
| 95 | + |

| 102 | +**Title:** Show HN: MCP SSH Manager – 37 DevOps tools for Claude Code with 92% context reduction |
| 103 | + |
| 104 | +**Body:** |
| 105 | + |
| 106 | +Hi HN! I built MCP SSH Manager, a comprehensive Model Context Protocol server for SSH automation with Claude Code and OpenAI Codex. |
| 107 | + |
| 108 | +**The problem:** Existing MCP SSH tools offer 2-4 basic operations (execute, upload, download). I needed enterprise DevOps features like automated backups, health monitoring, and database management - directly accessible from my AI assistant. |
| 109 | + |
| 110 | +**What I built:** |
| 111 | + |
| 112 | +37 MCP tools organized into 6 groups: |
| 113 | +- Core (5): SSH execute, upload, download, sync, sudo |
| 114 | +- Sessions (4): Persistent SSH sessions |
| 115 | +- Monitoring (6): Health checks, service status, process management |
| 116 | +- Backup (4): MySQL/PostgreSQL/MongoDB/file backups with scheduling |
| 117 | +- Database (4): Dumps, imports, queries, table listings |
| 118 | +- Advanced (14): Tunnels, groups, profiles, hooks, aliases |
| 119 | + |
| 120 | +**New in v3.1.0: Tool Activation System** |
| 121 | + |
| 122 | +The biggest challenge was context usage - 37 tools consume ~43.5k tokens. Solution: intelligent tool activation. |
| 123 | + |
| 124 | +- Users can enable only needed tool groups |
| 125 | +- Minimal mode: 5 tools (~3.5k tokens) = 92% reduction |
| 126 | +- Interactive CLI: `ssh-manager tools configure` |
| 127 | +- Export auto-approval configs for Claude Code |
| 128 | + |
| 129 | +**Technical details:** |
| 130 | + |
| 131 | +- Built with @modelcontextprotocol/sdk + ssh2 |
| 132 | +- Dual config support: .env (Claude) + TOML (Codex) |
| 133 | +- Profile system for different workflows (docker, nodejs, frappe) |
| 134 | +- Hooks for automation (pre-deploy, post-deploy, on-error) |
| 135 | +- Comprehensive testing with GitHub Actions CI/CD |
| 136 | + |
| 137 | +**Stack:** |
| 138 | + |
| 139 | +- Node.js 18+ |
| 140 | +- SSH2 for connections |
| 141 | +- Zod for validation |
| 142 | +- TOML parser for Codex configs |
| 143 | + |
| 144 | +**Example use cases:** |
| 145 | + |
| 146 | +1. "Deploy my app to production server, create a database backup first" |
| 147 | +2. "Check health of all my servers and alert me if any are above 80% CPU" |
| 148 | +3. "Execute this command on all servers in the 'web' group sequentially" |
| 149 | +4. "Create a backup of the MySQL database and schedule it to run daily at 2am" |
| 150 | + |

| 161 | +## LinkedIn Post |
| 162 | + |
| 163 | +🚀 Excited to announce MCP SSH Manager v3.1.0! |
| 164 | + |
| 165 | +After months of development, I'm releasing a comprehensive Model Context Protocol server that brings enterprise DevOps automation to Claude Code and OpenAI Codex. |
| 166 | + |
| 167 | +**What does it do?** |
| 168 | + |
| 169 | +Think of it as giving your AI assistant direct, controlled access to your SSH servers with 37 specialized tools: |
| 170 | + |
| 171 | +✅ Execute commands remotely |
| 172 | +✅ Automated database backups (MySQL, PostgreSQL, MongoDB) |
| 173 | +✅ Health monitoring (CPU, RAM, disk, network) |
| 174 | +✅ File transfers & synchronization |
| 175 | +✅ SSH tunnel management |
| 176 | +✅ Database operations |
| 177 | +✅ And much more... |
| 178 | + |
| 179 | +**Key innovation in v3.1.0:** |
| 180 | + |
| 181 | +Tool activation system reduces AI context usage by 92%. Enable only the tools you need - from 5 core tools to all 37 advanced features. |
| 182 | + |
| 183 | +**Why this matters:** |
| 184 | + |
| 185 | +DevOps teams spend hours on repetitive SSH tasks. With MCP SSH Manager, you can ask Claude Code: |
| 186 | + |
| 187 | +"Deploy the app to production, backup the database first, and monitor the health metrics" |
| 188 | + |
| 189 | +And it handles everything - safely and automatically. |
| 190 | + |
| 191 | +**Enterprise-ready features:** |
| 192 | + |
| 193 | +- Profile system for different workflows |
| 194 | +- Automation hooks (pre-deploy, post-deploy, on-error) |
| 195 | +- Server groups for batch operations |
| 196 | +- Comprehensive audit logging |
| 197 | +- Security-first design |
