Description and use

Purple is an open‑source terminal SSH manager written in Rust that automatically syncs your ~/.ssh/config with resources across 16 cloud providers, adding or dimming hosts as VMs are created or destroyed. It offers fuzzy host search, live tunnel monitoring, scp, Docker‑over‑SSH, Vault SSH certificates, and an MCP server for AI agents, all via a sleek TUI. The project is MIT‑licensed and spans both frontend and backend components.

Problem

erickochen/purple helps connect AI assistants to real tools and data through a standard protocol.

Outcome

Medium: useful for prototypes or internal workflows, with dependency and maintenance checks before production.

Workflow

• connect AI agents to tools
• ship Model Context Protocol servers
• standardize integrations

Evidence

Open-source terminal SSH manager that keeps ~/.ssh/config in sync with your cloud infra across 16 cloud providers. Spin up a VM, it shows up in your host list. Destroy it, it dims. Plus fuzzy search, live tunnel monitoring, scp, Docker over SSH, Vault SSH certs and an MCP server for AI agents. Rust TUI, MIT.
