AI agent bridge (MCP) ​

SSH Ache can expose your connections to an AI agent over the Model Context Protocol (MCP), so an assistant can run commands on hosts you explicitly enable — and nothing else.

How it works ​

  • You choose which saved connections are enabled for the agent. A connection that isn't enabled is invisible to it.
  • When the agent wants to run a command, SSH Ache asks you to approve it, per command.
  • Output flows back to the agent so it can act on the result.

Auto Allow ​

For a connection you trust the agent to drive hands-off, turn on Auto Allow. Commands on that connection then run without a per-command prompt.

WARNING

Auto Allow removes the approval step for that connection. Enable it only for hosts where you're comfortable letting the agent run commands unattended — a scratch box or a staging server, not production.

Auto Allow is per connection: enabling it on one host never affects the others, and disabled connections stay off-limits to the agent entirely.
