Agentic Vault

MCP server that lets AI agents call APIs without ever seeing the credentials.

license: AGPL-3.0 commercial license available Node 20+

Secrets live in a local encrypted vault. The server substitutes them at call time into outbound HTTP requests or subprocess environment variables, under a per-secret allowlist policy. The model only ever sees secret names, never values.

Why

Letting an AI agent make authenticated calls usually means giving it the raw API key. That breaks least-privilege, pollutes transcripts and logs, and means one jailbreak or prompt-injection is enough to exfiltrate the token.

Agentic Vault splits the two: the agent picks a secret by name and a destination; the vault checks the policy and injects the value. The plaintext never crosses the tool boundary.

Install

npm install -g secretproxy
secretproxy init                # creates the global vault, stores master password in the OS keychain
secretproxy add OPENROUTER_API_KEY sk-or-...
secretproxy policy set OPENROUTER_API_KEY --host openrouter.ai
secretproxy run                 # start the MCP server over stdio

Then point any MCP client (Claude Code, Cursor, Cline, Codex, Zed) at secretproxy run.

Features

• Zero-plaintext injection — values substituted inside the vault, never in the model context
• Per-secret policy — allow-lists for HTTP hosts, commands, env vars; deny by default; optional wildcards (strict mode rejects them)
• AES-256-GCM vault with argon2id key derivation
• Encrypted audit trail — every call logged with policy decision, surface, outcome
• Scoped vaults — global defaults + per-project overrides
• OS-native password storage — macOS Keychain, libsecret, Windows Credential Manager
• Interactive TUI (secretproxy tui) and local-only web UI (secretproxy ui)
• Rate limiting with token buckets
• Zero telemetry — no outbound calls, local-only by design

Development

npm install
npm test            # 328 tests across 45 files
npm run build
npm run typecheck

Architecture primer: src/vault/ owns encryption, src/mcp/ owns the MCP tool surface, src/policy/ owns allowlist enforcement, src/audit/ owns the append-only log.
