DO NOT INSTALL. This package tries to read your SSH keys — the same keys that unlock your servers, your GitHub account, and your deployments. No Claude skill should ever need to touch these files. This looks like credential theft.

Technical details

Accessing SSH keys or known_hosts is a strong indicator of credential theft. No legitimate MCP server needs access to SSH configuration.

Suspicious. This package loads code from an unknown location decided at runtime. We can't tell what it will actually run because it depends on a variable. This makes it harder to verify the package is safe.

Technical details

Dynamic require/import with variable arguments loads code determined at runtime. This can be used to load payloads that static analysis can't detect.
