HopBLOCK

hop

Stop typing long SSH commands. Just hop prod and you're in.

Why hop?

# Before: remembering and typing this every time
ssh -i ~/.ssh/work_key [email protected] -p 2222

# After
hop prod

hop prod                         # fuzzy match any server
hop exec production "uptime"     # run command on all prod servers
hop import                       # import your existing ~/.ssh/config
hop                              # launch the TUI, manage everything

Install with an AI agent

Using Claude Code, Codex, Cursor, or another coding agent? Paste the block below into your agent and it will pick the right install path for your machine, register hop's MCP server, and verify the install.

Install hop on this machine and register its MCP server. Do the steps in order;
stop and report on the first failure.

1. Pick ONE install method, in this priority:
a. Homebrew (macOS or Linux):
brew install danmartuszewski/tap/hop
b. Go 1.22+ available:
go install github.com/danmartuszewski/hop/cmd/hop@latest
c. From source (no brew, no Go on PATH):
git clone https://github.com/danmartuszewski/hop.git && cd hop && make install

2. Verify the binary is on PATH:
hop version

3. Register the MCP server with whichever agent the user is running. Skip
clients the user does not use:
- Claude Code:  claude mcp add hop -- hop mcp
- Codex CLI:    codex mcp add hop -- hop mcp
- Claude Desktop / Cursor
