how to use via remote-ssh?

[tfriedel]

I use windows and connect to a linux server (or wsl) via remote-ssh. Can I use this mcp server?
I'm thinking of e.g. having a tmux window open where I see the interactive output.

Maybe it is possible using https://www.npmjs.com/package/mcp-remote?
Or this https://github.com/sparfenyuk/mcp-proxy

I'll give it a try and will update if I manage to pull it off.

Ok it is possible with https://github.com/sparfenyuk/mcp-proxy
It involves 3 steps:

1. Setting up a reverse port forwarding via ssh for PORT (choose some port). Can be done with various tools: ssh -R, bitvise, mobaxterm (I use that, supports auto start and auto reconnect)
2. run uvx mcp-proxy --port PORT --pass-environment -- npx -y interactive-mcp on the ssh client.
3. Adding the following as mcp server on ide:

   "interactive-mcp-over-ssh": {
   	"description": "Use this server interactive MCP when we are on a remote machine.",
   	"command": "uvx",
   	"args": [
   		"mcp-proxy",
   		"http://localhost:PORT/sse"
   	]
   }
