sshboard lets AI agents inspect servers over shared SSH with every action visible

sshboard is an open-source desktop app that lets a user and an AI agent view the same server over a single SSH connection. The agent is not given a general shell; instead it gets read-only inspection tools plus user-approved, allow-listed commands, and any state-changing operation requires on-screen confirmation. Every agent call is displayed to the user before it runs, and the agent can write only to directories the user explicitly permits, with deletes, renames, and service restarts unavailable to it. Credentials remain in the OS keychain or ssh-agent, and the agent sees only connection IDs rather than hostnames. The tool is available for Windows and macOS and integrates with Claude Code via MCP, and is published under the MIT license on GitHub.
