Claude Code can already reach your servers

If SentinelX is connected in Claude.ai, Claude Code picks it up on its own. No config file, no second login, no setup. Here is the whole thing in 30 seconds.

Claude Code is very good at the machine you are sitting at. It reads your codebase, edits files, runs your tests. But the servers that actually run your product are somewhere else, and that is where the session usually stops and the SSH window opens.

It turns out it does not have to.

The connectors come along

Claude Code speaks MCP, and it inherits the connectors from your Claude.ai account. If you have already added SentinelX there, it is simply present when you open the terminal. Run /mcp and you will see it listed, connected, with its tools ready:

claude.ai SentinelX · ✔ connected · 46 tools
Config location: claude.ai

That Config location line is the point: nothing was configured on this machine. The OAuth session you completed once in the browser carries over.

Then just ask

"Use SentinelX, list my hosts."

You get the machines back as a table, and from there the usual things: read a log on the VPS, restart a service, check disk on all of them at once. Same allowlist as always — SentinelX only runs what you permitted in /etc/sentinelx/config.yaml, and every call is logged. Claude Code does not widen that boundary.

Two tools, two jobs

This is not a competition. Claude Code owns the local loop: your repo, your branches, your tests. SentinelX owns the remote one: the boxes you would otherwise SSH into. Together the whole flow fits in one conversation — write the fix locally, then deploy and verify it on the server without leaving the terminal.

Getting there

If you already use Claude Code, you need two things:

1. Install the agent on a machine you want to reach:

curl -fsSL https://get.sentinelx.app | bash

2. Add SentinelX once in Claude.ai (Settings → Connectors → Add custom connector → https://mcp.sentinelx.app/mcp/mcp) or from the ChatGPT app directory. Claude Code takes it from there.

One host is free. Paid plans start at $5/month for several machines live at once. Details at sentinelx.app.
