As a local MCP server: PyPI package
Built from what Official MCP Registry declares.
claude mcp add --env "LINUX_MCP_KEY_PASSPHRASE=<YOUR_LINUX_MCP_KEY_PASSPHRASE>" --transport stdio linux-mcp-server -- uvx linux-mcp-server[mcp_servers.linux-mcp-server]
command = "uvx"
args = ["linux-mcp-server"]
[mcp_servers.linux-mcp-server.env]
LINUX_MCP_KEY_PASSPHRASE = "<YOUR_LINUX_MCP_KEY_PASSPHRASE>"{
"mcpServers": {
"linux-mcp-server": {
"command": "uvx",
"args": [
"linux-mcp-server"
],
"env": {
"LINUX_MCP_KEY_PASSPHRASE": "<YOUR_LINUX_MCP_KEY_PASSPHRASE>"
}
}
}
}Replace the values in angle brackets with your own. We show the names of the settings, never values.
Optional settings it also lists: LINUX_MCP_ALLOWED_LOG_PATHS, LINUX_MCP_COMMAND_TIMEOUT, LINUX_MCP_KNOWN_HOSTS_PATH, LINUX_MCP_LOG_DIR, LINUX_MCP_LOG_LEVEL, LINUX_MCP_LOG_RETENTION_DAYS, LINUX_MCP_SEARCH_FOR_SSH_KEY, LINUX_MCP_SSH_KEY_PATH, LINUX_MCP_USER, LINUX_MCP_VERIFY_HOST_KEYS.
We do not store launch arguments. If the server needs any, its own documentation names them.

Found by meaning, not by shared code or a shared repository: similar plugins stay separate products, and this is not a review or a recommendation.
Is this your plugin?
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 can put its remote endpoint on monitoring as a web service.
Data comes from the Official MCP Registry (registry.modelcontextprotocol.io), CC0 1.0. Figures come from our own regular passes over the marketplaces, last read on . We publish no contact details for plugin publishers.
