Overview

For each host, its AI assistant can run commands and edit remote files through connected AI providers or locally detected ACP agents. It supports Ask, Review, and Full access modes, configurable review, and integrations through an open API, MCP, and Skill; agent access is disabled by default. Hosts and credentials can be imported from SSH configuration, stored in encrypted local storage, and backed up with password-encrypted archives to local storage, WebDAV, S3-compatible storage, or private GitHub Gists.

SSHYard is developed as a Go application using MyGo and is distributed under the GNU Affero General Public License v3.0. Linux credential storage requires libsecret and an available Secret Service provider.
