README

Universal Host Manager MCP

A cross-platform Model Context Protocol server for administering a Linux or macOS host through MCP clients such as ChatGPT and Claude.

It uses FastMCP Streamable HTTP transport, Auth0 OAuth, bounded file tools, output limits and command timeouts.

[!CAUTION] This project exposes arbitrary shell execution. Authentication decides who may use it; it does not make commands harmless. Read SECURITY.md before deploying it.

Features

Linux and macOS support
Streamable HTTP endpoint
Auth0 OAuth integration
File reads, writes and directory listings constrained to MCP_WORKSPACE_DIR
Configurable command timeouts and output truncation
File-size limits and decoding fallback
Fail-closed startup when authentication is not configured
Example systemd and launchd services

Tools

Tool	Parameters	Purpose
`run_command`	`command: str`, `timeout: int`	Runs an arbitrary shell command with the workspace as its working directory
`read_file`	`path: str`	Reads a text file inside the workspace
`write_file`	`path: str`, `content: str`	Writes UTF-8 text inside the workspace
`list_dir`	`path: str = "."`	Lists a directory inside the workspace
`system_metrics`	none	Reports disk, memory and top-process information

The workspace boundary applies to the file tools. It does not sandbox run_command; commands retain all permissions of the service's OS user.

Requirements

Python 3.10+
Linux or macOS
Auth0 account for remote use
HTTPS endpoint for remote MCP clients

Install

PyPI (recommended)

pip install universal-host-manager-mcp

Next: run uhm-setup to generate your .env — see Configure below.

uv / pipx

Without polluting a project environment:

uvx --from universal-host-manager-mcp uhm-setup

This installs into a throwaway environment, runs the setup wizard, and writes .env in the current directory. From then on, run the server itself the same way: uvx universal-host-manager-mcp.

From source (for development)

git clone https://github.com/Abktya/universal-host-manager-mcp.git
cd universal-host-manager-mcp
python3 -m venv .venv
source .venv/bin/activate
pip install -e .

Next: run uhm-setup to generate your .env — see Configure below.

Configure

The easiest way is the interactive setup wizard, installed alongside the server:

uhm-setup

Run it from the directory where you want to keep the configuration. The server must later be started from that same directory so it can find .env.

For a first test, choose 1 — Local-only test. Press Enter to accept the port 8765; the port prompt expects a number, not y or n. This mode:

creates a separate workspace directory by default;
listens only on 127.0.0.1, so other computers cannot connect;
requires no domain, tunnel, or Auth0 account;
enables unauthenticated access only for that local test.

The wizard also offers Cloudflare Tunnel, an ngrok static domain, and an existing HTTPS URL for remote use. Remote modes require Auth0 and will not write a misleading, unusable configuration if Auth0 is skipped. It validates domains and URLs, then writes .env with 600 permissions—backing up an existing file to .env.bak first.

If a virtual environment is active, install and run both commands through that environment:

python -m pip in
