Keyward

Local, encrypted secret broker for AI agents. Any MCP tool request an API key by name; you approve in a native OS prompt; only that key is injected into your project — the model never sees the value.

What is Keyward?

I kept pasting API keys into Claude Code/Cursor, which dumps them into context and transcripts — and re-typing the same keys in every project. keyward keeps keys in one age-encrypted vault (master key in the OS keystore); AI tools request a key by name over MCP, you approve the single request in a native OS dialog, and only that key is injected into the project's .env. The model never receives the value. MIT, single Go binary, macOS/Windows/Linux. Storage is solved (Keychain, pass, sops, 1Password) — the missing piece was an agent-facing, approval-gated broker. Honest limits: it raises the bar, not a substitute for OS security; Linux needs libsecret; Windows file ACLs are a v1 item. Feedback welcome, especially on the approval UX.
