Secret

About

Generating `.env` files is a common development task, often made tedious and risky when using cloud-based AI coding assistants due to the potential for leaking secrets. Secret addresses this by providing a desktop application and an MCP server that allows AI to write `.env` files using your stored secrets, without ever directly seeing the secret values. All secrets are stored locally, ensuring they never leave your machine.

Key Features

• Desktop App for managing secrets (name, description, value)
• MCP Server with `search_secrets` and `write_env` tools for AI assistants
• Local storage of all secrets in an SQLite database
• Secure handling: secret values never leave your machine and are not exposed to AI
• Easy installation as an npm package: `npx secret-mcp`
• 5 GitHub stars

Use Cases

• Securely generating .env files with AI without leaking API keys or tokens.
• Managing and centralizing sensitive development secrets locally.
• Allowing AI coding assistants to automatically configure project environments with necessary secrets.
