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.
