MAVERICK SSH MCP / MCP FOR SSH
Give AI Agents SSH Capabilities.
Not Your SSH Credentials.
Connect MCP-compatible AI agents to infrastructure using SSH. Execute commands, work with files over SFTP, create tunnels and manage remote systems with Maverick SSH.
Use your existing SSH authentication, or pair with SSH Teams for short-lived certificate authentication without handing permanent credentials to the agent.

MAVERICK-SSH-MCP / SSH TOOLS
SSH Tools Your Agent Can Actually Use.
Maverick exposes SSH capabilities as MCP tools, allowing agents to work directly with remote systems without falling back to command-line SSH clients.
SFTP
Read, write and manage remote files using native SFTP operations, including random-access file access.
Random AccessDirectoriesFile Operations
SSH Teams
Use short-lived SSH certificates for agent access without distributing permanent SSH credentials.
PasswordlessShort-LivedCertificates
TCP Tunnels
Create local and remote TCP forwarding through encrypted SSH connections.
Local ForwardRemote ForwardEncrypted
Unix Domain Sockets
Forward Unix Domain Sockets over SSH to reach local services and IPC endpoints remotely.
Socket ForwardIPC over SSHLocal Services
Command Execution
Execute remote commands directly and return their output to the agent.

MAVERICK-SSH-MCP / EXAMPLES
Ask. Maverick Handles the SSH.
Your agent decides what needs doing. Maverick provides the SSH tools to do it.
Prompt 01“Find out why web-01 is running out of disk space.”
Prompt 02“Download yesterday's application log.”
Prompt 03“Restart nginx and confirm it came back up.”
Prompt 04“Upload this certificate to the load balancer.”
Prompt 05“Open a tunnel to PostgreSQL on db-01.”
Prompt 06“Check whether SSH is running across these hosts.”
MAVERICK-SSH-MCP / CAPABILITIES
Real SSH. Exposed Through MCP.
Maverick SSH MCP exposes native SSH capabilities as tools that MCP-compatible agents can call directly.
- Interactive shell sessions with TTY
- SFTP random-access file operations
- SCP upload and download
- Local and remote TCP port forwarding
- Unix Domain Socket forwarding
- Remote command execution
- Existing SSH authentication
- Optional SSH Teams certificate authentication
MAVERICK-SSH-MCP / ACCESS
AI Needs Access. Credentials Are the Problem.
Giving an AI agent SSH access shouldn't mean copying private keys into configuration files, embedding passwords in prompts or creating permanent credentials nobody remembers to revoke.
Existing SSH
Use the SSH authentication and infrastructure you already have.
SSH Teams
Issue short-lived SSH certificates when agents need passwordless access.
Your Infrastructure
No proprietary agent is required on every target. Maverick connects using SSH.

How It Works
MCP tool calls are translated into SSH operations and executed directly against your existing SSH infrastructure.
