@mtk-router/router-ssh

Node.js (18+) — SSH directly to MikroTik RouterOS. No mtk-serve, no baseUrl.

Sources: src/index.mjs uses only TCP SSH (ssh2 client submodule). It does not call fetch, http, https, or axios. (package-lock.json still lists https://registry.npmjs.org/… for installs — that is npm metadata, not runtime code.)

Uses the same environment variables as the Python SDK:

• MTK_HOST (default 192.168.88.1)
• MTK_USER (default admin)
• MTK_PASSWORD (required for password auth)
• MTK_PORT (default 22)
• MTK_TIMEOUT (seconds, default 30)

Full list of MTK_* names (Python CLI, mtk-serve, bootstrap, etc.): docs/ENVIRONMENT.md.

Install

From the repo:

cd clients/node-ssh
npm install

In another project:

"@mtk-router/router-ssh": "file:../mtk-router-setup/clients/node-ssh"

Example

import { MtkSshClient } from "@mtk-router/router-ssh";

const c = new MtkSshClient();
await c.connect();
try {
  const r = await c.exec("/interface l2tp-client print terse");
  console.log(r.stdout);
  const vpn = await c.setPolicyRouteGateway("rt_slot_2", "l2tp-uk");
  if (!vpn.ok) console.error(vpn.stderr || vpn.stdout);
} finally {
  await c.disconnect();
}

Scope

This is a small complement to @mtk-router/router-client (REST over mtk-serve). It covers exec and policy-route gateway updates. It does not replicate full discovery, bootstrap, or leases — use Python or mtk-serve for those, or extend this package.

Browser

Not supported — use @mtk-router/router-client with mtk-serve, or a backend that uses this module or Python.
