Summary

Add secretctl to the MCP Security Servers section.

secretctl is an AI-safe secrets manager with MCP support that addresses a critical security concern in the MCP ecosystem: preventing AI agents from accessing plaintext secrets.

Key Security Features

  • AI-Safe Access: AI agents can use secrets via environment variable injection without ever seeing plaintext values
  • AES-256-GCM encryption with Argon2id key derivation (OWASP parameters)
  • Comprehensive audit logging for all secret access
  • Output sanitization to prevent accidental secret exposure in command output
  • Local-first architecture - secrets never leave your machine

Why This Fits awesome-mcp-security

This tool directly addresses the MCP security concerns documented in this repository, particularly:

  • Insecure credential storage (referenced in Trail of Bits articles)
  • API key theft via MCP (referenced in multiple security advisories)
  • The need for "human in the loop" secret management

Installation

Available via:

  • Homebrew (macOS)
  • Scoop (Windows)
  • Direct binary download (Linux)
