As a local MCP server: npm package
Built from what Official MCP Registry declares.
claude mcp add --env "SSH_PROFILES_FILE=<YOUR_SSH_PROFILES_FILE>" --transport stdio ssh-mcp-server -- npx -y @hypnosis/ssh-mcp-server[mcp_servers.ssh-mcp-server]
command = "npx"
args = ["-y", "@hypnosis/ssh-mcp-server"]
[mcp_servers.ssh-mcp-server.env]
SSH_PROFILES_FILE = "<YOUR_SSH_PROFILES_FILE>"{
"mcpServers": {
"ssh-mcp-server": {
"command": "npx",
"args": [
"-y",
"@hypnosis/ssh-mcp-server"
],
"env": {
"SSH_PROFILES_FILE": "<YOUR_SSH_PROFILES_FILE>"
}

Is this your plugin?
Add it to your projects and prove you maintain it with a file in its repository, a file on your domain or a DNS record. You get alerts when a marketplace lists it, drops it, changes its verified mark or what it asks for, and its remote endpoint goes on monitoring as a web service.
Data comes from the Official MCP Registry (registry.modelcontextprotocol.io), CC0 1.0. Data comes from public marketplace files in GitHub repositories of their authors. Figures come from our own regular passes over the marketplaces, last read on . We publish no contact details for plugin publishers.
