This server provides structured SSH and rsync operations, suitable for AI agents needing reliable remote operations.
Pare Remote is an MCP server in the Pare project that wraps SSH and rsync commands into typed, schema-validated JSON output, replacing fragile terminal text parsing. It provides ssh-run, ssh-test, ssh-keyscan, and rsync tools, returning structured data that AI agents can process directly, reducing token usage and improving reliability.
Tools
ssh-run
Execute a command on a remote host and return output as structured JSON.
ssh-test
Test SSH connectivity and return connection status and diagnostics.
ssh-keyscan
Retrieve SSH public keys from remote hosts, returning a key list.
rsync
Synchronize files between local and remote hosts, returning transfer statistics.
Setup
Install via npm: npm install @paretools/remote. Run with npx: npx @paretools/remote. Requires Node.js >= 20.
Fit and risk
Not for
- Local development scenarios without remote operations
- Scenarios requiring interactive SSH sessions
Required permissions
- Requires SSH credentials or keys to authenticate to remote hosts
- Requires network access to remote hosts
- May require file system permissions to read private keys
Risks and side effects
- Remote commands may perform unintended actions; grant tool permissions with caution
- Risk of SSH key exposure
- Dependency on remote host availability
Troubleshooting
- Check Node.js version is >= 20
- Ensure SSH authentication configuration is correct
- Check network connectivity and remote host reachability
- Inspect server logs for error details
Use cases
Remote command execution
SSH connection diagnostics
Collecting host keys
File synchronization
