Use the xops CLI to manage SSH hosts, run remote or batch commands, inspect and edit remote files, transfer data, create SSH tunnels, and automate operations with Playbooks. Apply when the user wants server operations or remote automation through XOps.

Collected from public GitHub. Every version is saved exactly as it was and never changes. Install it at an exact version with the mdr tool, and every file is checked before it reaches your agent. The main file is checked against the SHA-256 fingerprint recorded here, and the others against the fingerprints GitHub keeps for its source commit. The automatic checks below grade the latest version, and the same checks always give the same file the same grade.

What the file says

# XOps CLI operations

Perform host operations by running `xops` commands in the Agent's command environment. This skill works independently of MCP: it requires the CLI and its SSH configuration, not an MCP connection or MCP tool calls.

## Start with the execution environment

1. Run `xops --version` and the relevant `xops <command> --help`. Installed versions may differ from this reference. If the executable is missing, use the [installation guide](https://wentf9.github.io/xops-cli/guide/getting-started). Do not reinitialize an existing setup as a diagnostic step.
2. Identify where the command runs. Local paths, SSH keys, configuration, listeners, and downloads belong to that machine or container; they may not belong to the user's desktop. Default configuration is `~/.xops/xops_config.yaml`; an existing `XOPS_CONFIG_DIR` can select another configuration directory.

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint

mdr add wentf9/xops-cli/xops-agent@sha256:abfe029a711ec020

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20261101.5255f15, which is what most people want. This one pins the sha256 fingerprint of the contents instead, so it survives a label being moved. Either way the exact version is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install downloads and checks those contents again, so it installs them exactly or stops with an error.
