What is remotify-mcp?

The server runs next to your assistant and passes commands through an HTTP relay to a second machine, which listens with a curl-and-bash script, so there is no SSH or agent to install there. Its three tools run a command, show the session and reset it.

Our check: Its maker sent it in and we wrote this page from what they published. We have not installed it yet, so there is no tool list or test result here. When it passes our own install check it moves to the main shelf.

Try asking

On my build box, check free disk space and tail the last 50 lines of the deploy log.
A prompt to try once it is connected, written by MCP Shelf.

Worth knowing before you add it

This gives the assistant a shell on another machine. Keep the mode where you approve each command.

How do I connect remotify-mcp?

What you need first

Free and open source (Apache-2.0). Needs Node.js 18 or later; the relay can be self-hosted.

Before you add any community server

  • Hosted servers see whatever you send them. Check who runs it and what the sign-in can reach.
  • Servers that run on your computer can do what your user account can. Read the repository first.
  • Keep your app's “ask before each tool call” setting on until you trust it.
