Claude Extension

Claude Code Extension

Manage Linux & Windows servers directly from Claude using natural language.

---

Ask Claude to check system status, manage packages, configure services, transfer files, run security audits, and more — across one server or an entire fleet. The extension connects Claude to your infrastructure through MCP (Model Context Protocol), a secure cloud portal, and lightweight agents running on your servers.

Features

• Natural language — describe tasks in plain English; Claude picks the right skill and parameters
• 31 built-in skills — packages, services, firewall, web servers, databases, Docker, certificates, VPN, Kubernetes, and more
• Multi-server targeting — run on a single server, a group, or broadcast to all agents
• File transfers — upload and download files (text and binary) between local and remote
• Security audits — run audits, search findings across your fleet, remediate issues
• Task history & revert — review what changed, inspect diffs, revert any task
• Cross-infrastructure search — find agents by health/OS, search inventory, security findings, SSH keys, sudo rules
• Zero inbound ports — agents connect outbound only; no SSH, no open ports on your servers

Quick Start

1. Install

claude mcp add managelm --transport url https://app.managelm.com/mcp

Or add manually to ~/.claude/settings.json:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "managelm": {
      "type": "url",
      "url": "https://app.managelm.com/mcp"
    }
  }
}

2. Authenticate

ManageLM uses OAuth 2.0 with Dynamic Client Registration (RFC 7591). On first connection, Claude self-registers as an OAuth client and opens your browser to authorize access — no client ID or secret to copy. All you need is a ManageLM account (free for up to 10 agents).

3. Use it

> Check disk usage on web-prod-01

> Install nginx on all servers in the staging group

> Upload my local config.yml to /etc/myapp/config.yml on db-primary

> Run a security audit on all production servers

> Which servers have CPU usage above 80%?

> Create a user deploy with my SSH key on web-prod-01

Architecture

Claude ── MCP ──> ManageLM Portal ── WebSocket ──> Agent on Server
                  (cloud control      (outbound       (local LLM,
                   plane)              only)            skill exec)

Every task dispatched to an agent is cryptographically signed (Ed25519). Agents use a local LLM — your data never leaves your infrastructure.
