Positions sudo-proxy against the servers on registry.modelcontextprotocol.io that show up for sudo, root, privilege, ssh, and command.

README

  • Add a one-sentence market position under the title (no "only": "An MCP server that lets an agent run privileged, mutating commands — locally or over SSH — with a human keypress required on every one and no credential ever stored.").
  • Add a Features and non-features section. The non-features are the real differentiators and each rebuts a registry alternative's weak spot without naming any (no stored credentials, no unattended execution, not a sandbox, not a policy engine, not read-only, no hosted service, not a general remote shell).

docs/comparison.md

  • Add a MCP Registry alternatives section (ToC entry + body):
    • mcp-sudo — the one head-to-head competitor (caches an encrypted sudo password and auto-executes); includes a side-by-side table.
    • agent-sudo-mcp — a policy gateway that gates other tools, not an executor.
    • SSH command executors — reach without a per-command gate.
    • Read-only SSH diagnostics — safety by refusing to mutate.
    • Arbitrary command runners — the "why not the Bash tool" case; source of the ByteDance entry verified (npm @agent-infra/mcp-server-commands, in the UI-TARS-desktop monorepo).
    • Generic approval gates — consent layers that don't execute.

Each entry cites the registry identifier and links the verified repo/site.

🤖 Generated with Claude Code

Add a one-sentence market position and a Features/non-features list to
the README so the differentiators are legible without naming
competitors.

Add a "MCP Registry alternatives" section to docs/comparison.md covering
servers found on registry.modelcontextprotocol.io (sudo/root/privilege/
ssh/command): mcp-sudo (the one head-to-head competitor, with a
side-by-side), agent-sudo-mcp, SSH executors, read-only SSH diagnostics,
arbitrary command runners, and generic approval gates.
