Smart SSH connects you to your servers with an AI copilot that reads logs, diagnoses problems, and suggests the fix — but it never touches your server without your approval first.
macOS, Windows, Linux · Apache 2.0
Connect to a server and describe the problem in plain language — a failing service, a full disk, a slow query.
The assistant proposes a specific command. You see the exact text — editable, never hidden — before anything happens.
Nothing executes until you say so. Routine commands you trust can be whitelisted to run automatically — everything else waits for you.
| Pattern | Verdict | Scope |
|---|---|---|
systemctl status * |
ALLOW | tag: web |
rm -rf * |
BLOCK | all servers |
apt install * |
CONFIRM | web-01 |
Every proposed command is checked against your rules before it can run.
ls -la
ALLOW
&&rm -rf /backup

A chained command is evaluated piece by piece.

sent to provider
AWS_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY=••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••
Command output is scanned for keys, passwords, and tokens, and masked before it reaches any AI provider.
Drawn illustrations, not screenshots — they show the shape of each flow rather than a pixel-exact capture of the app.
The proposed command, the rule that caught it, and the only three ways forward.
Your patterns, their verdicts, and the servers each one applies to.
A line diff against what is on the server right now, with a backup underneath.

…and a confirmation you have to click.
Claude Code, Claude Desktop and Cursor can talk to Smart SSH as an MCP server. Every command such an agent suggests goes through the same filter rules and the same confirmation step as a command from the built-in chat — no separate, looser path for external tools.
Give an agent raw SSH through its Bash tool instead, and none of that applies: no rule check, no risk indicator, no stop before execution. Here the agent keeps what it is good at — reading logs, correlating, proposing — while execution stays tied to a confirmation you can see.
