SSH Wingman FAQs

Question 1

Which AI assistants can integrate with SSH Wingman?

Accepted Answer

SSH Wingman integrates with any AI assistant that supports the Model Context Protocol (MCP), such as Claude Desktop. It provides a standardized way for AI models to understand and interact with terminal environments safely.

Question 2

Does SSH Wingman support other terminal multiplexers like GNU screen or zellij?

Accepted Answer

Currently, only `tmux` is supported due to its robust read-only enforcement capabilities. Support for `screen` or `zellij` would require them to implement similar mechanisms for secure read-only sessions before integration could be considered.

Question 3

What is SSH Wingman?

Accepted Answer

SSH Wingman is a Model Context Protocol (MCP) server that provides AI assistants with safe, read-only access to Unix shell prompts via `tmux`. It allows AI models to observe terminal environments without any risk of executing commands.

Question 4

How does SSH Wingman ensure read-only access?

Accepted Answer

It leverages `tmux`'s capabilities to capture terminal pane content and scrollback history. The server is specifically designed never to send keystrokes or commands to the session, ensuring strictly observational access for AI assistants.

Question 5

What are the primary use cases for SSH Wingman?

Accepted Answer

It's ideal for monitoring long-running processes, observing terminal-based application behavior, debugging issues by reviewing terminal history, and providing context-aware assistance based on the current terminal state for DevOps, SRE, and development tasks.
