Secret MCP Enables Secure Local Secret Management
Secret MCP is a desktop app and MCP server that lets AI coding assistants write .env files without exposing secret values. It provides two MCP tools — search_secrets (returns names and descriptions only) and write_env (writes values directly from local SQLite to .env with 600 permissions) — and stores all secrets locally on macOS, Linux, and Windows. The project uses Tauri 2.0, Svelte 5, Node.js and is installable via npx.
Key Points
- 1Provides desktop app and MCP server with search_secrets and write_env tools.
- 2Prevents secret leakage by returning only names/descriptions and writing values locally.
- 3Enables secure .env generation for developers, storing secrets in local SQLite with 600 permissions.
Scoring Rationale
Practical, directly usable developer tool offering strong secret-safety; limited novelty outside developer workflows and AI-assistant integrations.
