How do I install Linux?

Copy the stdio config for Cursor, Claude Desktop, Claude Code, or VS Code on this page. It uses the publisher's install, not a PlugMCP proxy.

Does Linux need an API key?

The publisher lists these environment variables: LINUX_MCP_USER, LINUX_MCP_SSH_KEY_PATH, LINUX_MCP_KEY_PASSPHRASE, LINUX_MCP_SEARCH_FOR_SSH_KEY, LINUX_MCP_COMMAND_TIMEOUT, LINUX_MCP_VERIFY_HOST_KEYS, LINUX_MCP_KNOWN_HOSTS_PATH, LINUX_MCP_ALLOWED_LOG_PATHS, LINUX_MCP_LOG_DIR, LINUX_MCP_LOG_LEVEL, LINUX_MCP_LOG_RETENTION_DAYS.

When was Linux last checked?
