Remote Command MCP Server

A Model Context Protocol (MCP) server that enables remote command execution across different operating systems. This server provides a unified interface to execute shell commands, automatically handling platform-specific differences between Windows and Unix-like systems.

Features

  • Cross-platform command execution
  • Automatic command normalization between Windows and Unix
  • Built-in error handling and output streaming
  • Working directory specification support
  • Platform-specific shell selection

Installation

  1. Clone the repository:
git clone https://github.com/deepsuthar496/Remote-Command-MCP cd remote-command-server
  1. Install dependencies:
npm install
  1. Build the server:
npm run build
  1. Configure the MCP server in your settings file:

For Claude Desktop (claude_desktop_config.json):

{ "mcpServers": { "remote-command": { "command": "node", "args": ["path/to/remote-command-server/build/index.js"], "disabled": false, "autoApprove": [] } } }

For VSCode Cline Extension (cline_mcp_settings.json):

{ "mcpServers": { "remote-command": { "command": "node", "args": ["path/to/remote-command-server/build/index.js"], "disabled": false, "autoApprove": [] } } }

Usage

The server provides a single tool called execute_remote_command that can execute ANY valid shell command on the host machine. This includes:

  • System commands
  • Package manager commands (apt, yum, chocolatey, etc.)
  • Development tools (git, npm, python, etc.)
  • File operations
  • Network commands
  • Service management
  • And any other CLI commands available on the system

Tool: execute_remote_command

Parameters:

  • command (required): Any valid shell command that can be executed on the host OS
  • cwd (optional): Working directory for command execution

Examples

  1. System Information:
remote-command execute_remote_command { "command": "systeminfo" // Windows // or "uname -a" // Linux }
  1. Package Management:
remote-command execute_remote_command { "command": "npm list -g --depth=0" // List global NPM packages }
  1. Network Operations:
remote-command execute_remote_command { "command": "netstat -an" // Show all network connections }
  1. Git Operations:
remote-command execute_remote_command { "command": "git status", "cwd": "/path/to/repo" }
  1. File Operations:
remote-command execute_remote_command { "command": "ls -la", // List files with details "cwd": "/path/to/directory" }
  1. Process Management:
remote-command execute_remote_command { "command": "ps aux" // List all running processes (Unix) // or "tasklist" // Windows equivalent }
  1. Service Control:
remote-command execute_remote_command { "command": "systemctl status nginx" // Check service status (Linux) // or "sc query nginx" // Windows equivalent }

Security Considerations

Since this server can execute any system command, please consider the following security practices:

  1. Access Control: Limit access to the MCP server to trusted users only
  2. Command Validation: Validate commands before execution in your application logic
  3. Working Directory: Use the cwd parameter to restrict command execution to specific directories
  4. Environment: Be cautious with commands that modify system settings or sensitive files
  5. Permissions: Run the MCP server with appropriate user permissions

Cross-Platform Command Handling

The server automatically handles platform-specific differences:

  1. Command Translation:

    • ls ⟷ dir (automatically converted based on platform)
    • Proper pipe operator formatting for each platform
  2. Shell Selection:

    • Windows: Uses cmd.exe
    • Unix/Linux: Uses /bin/sh

Error Handling

The server provides detailed error messages and includes both stdout and stderr in the response. If a command fails, you'll receive an error message with details about what went wrong.

Example error response:

{ "content": [ { "type": "text", "text": "Command execution error: Command failed with exit code 1" } ], "isError": true }
