Fast, elegant SSH connection manager with a TUI dashboard and MCP server

Hop is a command-line tool designed to simplify SSH connections and server management, replacing long commands with short aliases and offering a TUI dashboard for browsing and managing servers. It streamlines connecting to remote hosts, running commands across multiple servers, and importing existing SSH configurations.
