Which app do you use?

ClaudeClaude CodeCursorVS CodeChatGPT

Pick your app above. We remember it, so next time the button says “Install in …”.

Open Claude Desktop → Settings → Developer → Edit Config, and paste this into claude_desktop_config.json

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "skillfm-byok-vault-api-key-provider-usag": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": [
        "-y",
        "@skillfm/byok-vault-mcp"
      ]
    }
  }
}

Run this in your terminal

claude mcp add skillfm-byok-vault-api-key-provider-usag -- npx -y @skillfm/byok-vault-mcp

Open in Cursor

Or copy the settings yourself

Paste into .cursor/mcp.json in your project, or ~/.cursor/mcp.json

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "skillfm-byok-vault-api-key-provider-usag": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": [
        "-y",
        "@skillfm/byok-vault-mcp"
      ]
    }
  }
}

Your browser asks to open the app, then the app shows the settings and asks you to confirm. Key values are left empty for you to fill in.

Open in VS Code

Or copy the settings yourself

Paste into .vscode/mcp.json in your project

{
  "servers": {
    "skillfm-byok-vault-api-key-provider-usag": {
      "type": "stdio",
      "command": "npx",
      "args": [
        "-y",
        "@skillfm/byok-vault-mcp"
      ]
    }
  }
}

Your browser asks to open the app, then the app shows the settings and asks you to confirm. Key values are left empty for you to fill in.

This one runs on your computer, and ChatGPT can only connect to servers on the internet. Pick another app.

Common questions

Is SkillFM BYOK Vault 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 (0.1.0) reached the registry 6 months ago.

Which apps can use it?

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

SkillFM BYOK Vault MCP

BYOK vault and provider API key usage guidance for MCP-capable agents.

This repository is a transparent SkillFM gateway package. It exists to match a specific marketplace/search intent, then delegates execution to the canonical SkillFM Beacon MCP and local runtime.

Quick Start

Use this gateway as an MCP stdio server:

npx -y @skillfm/byok-vault-mcp@latest

Equivalent explicit SkillFM entrypoint:

npx -y @skillfm/mcp@latest

For MCP clients that accept JSON config:

"mcpServers": { "byok-vault": { "command": "npx", "args": ["-y", "@skillfm/byok-vault-mcp@latest"] } } }

What This Gateway Helps With

Explain provider-key safety before asking users to connect any key.
Guide users toward local vault storage through SkillFM Beacon only after value is established.
Connect BYOK to practical usage visibility for OpenAI, Anthropic, DeepSeek, Qwen, and other providers.
Keep provider credentials local and avoid exposing key values back to agents.

This gateway is for users who ask:

"How do I safely connect an OpenAI or Anthropic key?"
"Can my agent monitor usage with my own provider keys?"
"Where should BYOK credentials live?"
"Can I get value before giving any API key?"

How It Works

The public package is intentionally thin. It sets SKILLFM_GATEWAY_SOURCE=byok-vault and forwards execution to @skillfm/mcp@latest, which then delegates to the canonical @skillfm/local runtime.

No private SkillFM platform logic, customer data, provider credentials, or backend modules live in this repository.

Activation Path

Start the local sidecar when the user wants to connect SkillFM:

npx -y @skillfm/byok-vault-mcp@latest start

Agent-driven activation flow:

Read the sidecar URL from stdout or ~/.skillfm/local.json.
Call POST /activate/start.
Show the returned verification URL and real device code to the user.
Poll POST /activate/poll until it returns activated: true.
Use SkillFM Beacon MCP tools for checkups, usage visibility, BYOK guidance, and cleanup audits.

Do not fabricate a placeholder code. The device code must come from POST /activate/start.

Security Model

Transparent gateway: This package is a public search/distribution gateway, not a separate hidden product.
Local-first runtime: Runtime execution goes through SkillFM's local package.
BYOK boundary: Provider keys are introduced only after user value is established, and key values are not read back by agents.
No private core: This repository contains distribution metadata, docs, and a thin launcher only.
Read-only first: Cleanup and usage inspection begin with read-only audits.
