Common questions

Is Secrets Audit MCP safe?

It passed 1 of 1 applicable basic checks. We have not read the code. Before adding a key or token, see what access the server asks for and use a key with only the permissions you need.

What keys or codes does it need?

The registry does not list a required key, though some servers ask you to sign in on first use.

Does it run on my computer or in the cloud?

It runs on your computer. Your AI app starts it when needed, and data does not pass through the maker’s servers (unless it calls an online service itself).

Is it still maintained?

The GitHub repo last changed –, and the latest version (1.0.1) reached the registry 5 months ago.

Which apps can use it?

Apps that support MCP, such as Claude Desktop, Claude Code, Cursor and VS Code. You also need Docker on your computer.

secrets-audit-mcp

MCP server that detects leaked credentials in source code. Zero dependencies. Single file.

Detects API keys, OAuth tokens, private keys, webhooks, and crypto wallet secrets across 30+ providers (AWS, GCP, GitHub, Stripe, OpenAI, Anthropic, Slack, Discord, Telegram, Twilio, SendGrid, Heroku, DigitalOcean, npm, HuggingFace, Replicate, Cloudflare, and more).

Companion to skill-audit-mcp (behavioral patterns) — together they cover secrets + behaviors in one MCP toolchain.

Why

Most secret scanners are giant Go binaries (trufflehog, gitleaks). This is a 500-line Python file that runs as an MCP stdio server, so any LLM agent (Claude Desktop, Cursor, Windsurf, Cline) can ask it scan_directory and get a structured report in their tool-call response.

Use cases:

Pre-commit hook in CI
Agent-driven code review ("did this PR leak credentials?")
Audit a freshly-cloned repo before opening it in your shell
Inline scan during agent file edits

Install

# Python (recommended)

git clone https://github.com/eltociear/secrets-audit-mcp.git python3 secrets-audit-mcp/server.py # stdio MCP server

Or via npm wrapper (TBD)

npm install -g @eltociear/secrets-audit-mcp

MCP client config

"mcpServers": { "secrets-audit": { "type": "stdio", "command": "python3", "args": ["/path/to/secrets-audit-mcp/server.py"] } } }

Tools

Tool	Use case
`scan`	Scan inline text/content
`scan_file`	Scan a single file
`scan_directory`	Scan a directory recursively (skips `.git`, `node_modules`, `__pycache__`, etc.)

All return a risk score (0-100), severity bucket (CRITICAL/HIGH/MEDIUM/LOW/SAFE), and per-finding details with line numbers and redacted matches.

Coverage

Providers (32 rules total):

Cloud: AWS access/secret, GCP API key + service-account JSON, Heroku, DigitalOcean, Cloudflare
Source/CI: GitHub PAT/OAuth/App/Refresh/Fine-grained, npm tokens, Docker Hub PAT
Payments: Stripe secret + restricted
Comms: Slack bot/user/webhook, Discord bot/webhook, Telegram bot, Twilio, SendGrid, Mailgun
AI/ML: OpenAI, Anthropic, HuggingFace, Replicate
Web3: Ethereum private key (context-aware), Alchemy, Infura
Keys: RSA / EC / OpenSSH / PGP / generic PEM private keys
Generic: JWT, apikey="..." heuristic, generic secret assignments

Each match is redacted (AKIA***MPLE) before being returned, so the report itself doesn't leak the secret to the next LLM hop.

CI usage

Free MCP vs paid x402

This MCP server is free. For server-side / batch / no-install use, the same scanner is a pay-per-call x402 HTTP API: POST https://eltociear-secrets-audit.hf.space/audit ($0.01 USDC on Base) and /audit/url ($0.03). In the official MCP Registry as io.github.eltociear/secrets-audit-mcp.
