What you can do with it

We have not written a plain-language summary for this one yet. Below are the facts we read from the registry.

Connection: Runs on your computer
Transport: stdio
Category: Other

Install

Pick the AI app you use, then copy the settings.

Before you install

Basic checks: 0 of 1 passed
Runs on your computer with your user’s permissions (files, network, apps).
The registry lists no key to fill in.

You need

npmNode.js installed (for the npx command)

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": {
    "trestle": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": [
        "-y",
        "@trestlescan/mcp",
        "."
      ]
    }
  }
}

Run this in your terminal

claude mcp add trestle -- npx -y @trestlescan/mcp .

Open in Cursor

Or copy the settings yourself

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

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "trestle": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": [
        "-y",
        "@trestlescan/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": {
    "trestle": {
      "type": "stdio",
      "command": "npx",
      "args": [
        "-y",
        "@trestlescan/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.

These settings are generated from the maker’s registry entry. If the README says otherwise, follow the README.

What it can do

Runs on your computer; the tool list appears in your AI app after you install it.

Common questions

Is Trestle safe?

It passed 0 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 (1.4.1) reached the registry 4 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.

What can I use instead?

README from the maker

Open the README

Copied from the maker’s repo as written. PopNx MCP has not reviewed or endorsed it. HTML, images and scripts are removed. Links lead off this site.

A local secret scanner for source code. Trestle finds API keys, access tokens, passwords, private keys, and certificates before commiting them by mistake, and keeps them from leaving your machine.

This is the Community edition. Open source under Apache-2.0, and a mirror of the version distributed at trestlescan.com.

What Trestle does

Detection. Hundreds of credential patterns from real services (OpenAI, Anthropic, Stripe, AWS, GitHub, Google, Slack, Sentry, and more), plus unfamiliar keys spotted by entropy, variable names, and surrounding code.
Code-aware. Trestle parses your files instead of running plain regular expressions, so it can tell an environment variable from a build argument, a header, a parameter, or a constant in source.
Runs everywhere you work. Command line scanner, file watcher, pre-commit hook, language server for LSP-aware editors (Neovim, Helix, Zed, JetBrains), MCP server for AI assistants (Claude Code, Cursor, Copilot, Codex), and a native VS Code extension.
Local only. Runs entirely on your machine. No network, no telemetry, no account, no signup.
One static binary. No runtime to install, multi-threaded, and honors .gitignore and your own skip rules.

Building from source

A recent stable Rust toolchain is the only prerequisite.

cargo build --release

This builds two binaries: trestle, which does not make network requests, and trestle-net, which can check whether found secrets are still live.

Quick start

In any project directory:

trestle install  # adds a pre-commit hook and AI instructions

trestle scan # scans the current directory

Other commands:

trestle watch keeps scanning as files change.
trestle lsp starts the language server.
trestle mcp starts the MCP server.
trestle uninstall removes the integration from a project.

Checking whether a secret is live

The default trestle binary does not make network requests. The separate trestle-net binary adds an optional check that contacts each detected secret's provider to confirm whether the credential is still valid:

trestle-net scan --validate

Each finding is then labeled (active), (inactive), or (could not verify). This check runs only in trestle-net, so the trestle binary remains fully offline.

The full documentation is available at trestlescan.com/documentation.

Community and Pro

Trestle is open core.

Community (this repository) handles detection. Every finding is reported with its location and the rule that flagged it. Apache-2.0 licensed.
Pro adds remediation guidance: for each finding, the steps to remove the secret from source, what to keep in your local .env, and per-platform rotation guides for AWS, GitHub Actions, Vercel, Netlify, Kubernetes, Doppler, and other targets. Distributed under a commercial license.

Pro is available at trestlescan.com.

About this repository

This is a read-only mirror, refreshed on every Community release. Development happens in a private repository.
