Hey @dthuerck thank you so much for this PR! Definitely a nice addition, let me look into that, I'd like to test it, probably by setting up a Docker container with tmux and the SSH port open. 😉 |

h is often used as short version for --help, so it might be confusing, despite the help not being implemented. I'm wondering if there is a better alternative, otherwise, we can even think to don't have a short version (i don't remember now if it is mandatory -- it would probably better to don't have short version at all 🙈 )...

We could use -r as in remote or use a positional argument - if the argument is not supplied, then it's automatically localhost.

Does it need to passwordless? Or what you mean is "not-interactive" right?
For authentication we can pass the auth key for instance --ssh="user@host -i ./test/ssh_key"

Well, yes and no - not-interactive is right, but that usually requires your to have unlocked your SSH key prior to using SSH. "Passwordless" refers to the target machine here :)
I added some more instructions to the README.

Thank you so much for this cool MCP server!
As an avid
tmuxuser, this is right up my alley. At work, I often usetmuxover SSH to work on remote machines, so a small extension to your MCP seemed the easiest way.
