About
SSH — policy-gated remote access is an MCP server published by tufantunc. Marketplaces we read that list it: 1 (Official MCP Registry). The last change we recorded was on 2026-10-12. As of our marketplace pass on 2026-10-13.
What it asks for
- Runs on your machine
- Secrets: 3
- Settings: 4
Requires: SSH_MCP_PASSPHRASE (secret), SSH_MCP_PASSWORD (secret), SSH_MCP_SUDO_PASSWORD (secret)
What it declares, asks for and runs, in full
Only install plugins from developers you trust. We list what marketplaces publish and do not test plugins.
Package
- npm downloads/week: 5 146 (2026-10-13)
- npm downloads/month: 41 819 (2026-10-13)
- Latest version on npm: 2.19.0, published 2026-10-12
No known vulnerabilities in OSV for 2.19.0 (checked 2026-10-13)
npm facts come from the public npm registry (registry.npmjs.org, api.npmjs.org). Each figure is the registry's own and is never added to another. A registry that publishes no figure shows none: no number is not zero. Vulnerability records come from OSV.dev (CC BY 4.0) and concern the declared version only; a listing that declares no version gets no answer. We do not scan code.
Works with
- Claude Code
- Codex
- Cursor
- VS Code
- Copilot CLI

As a local MCP server: npm package
Built from what Official MCP Registry declares.

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. Figures come from our own regular passes over the marketplaces, last read on . We publish no contact details for plugin publishers.
