Keyblind — Blind AI to Your Keys

Encrypted secrets vault with MCP for AI agents. Secrets resolved at runtime, never leaked to LLM conversations.

👁 npm version
👁 License: MIT

Why

Developers regularly leak API keys, passwords, and tokens to AI coding tools. 100,000+ LLM conversations with exposed secrets were found indexed by search engines in 2025.

AI agents read your .env files. They copy-paste secrets into conversations. They commit them accidentally. Keyblind stops this by keeping secrets encrypted at rest and resolving them at runtime — the plaintext value never touches the LLM transcript.

How It Works

┌──────────┐ ┌────────────────┐ ┌─────────────────┐
│ AI Agent │ ──→ │ Keyblind MCP │ ──→ │ Encrypted │
│ (Claude) │ │ Server │ │ SQLite Vault │
│ │ ←── │ (16 tools) │ ←── │ (AES-256-GCM) │
└──────────┘ └────────────────┘ └─────────────────┘
 ↑ │
 │ secret value never appears │ secrets never
 │ in conversation transcript │ stored in plaintext

Quick Start

# 1. Install
npm i -g keyblind

# 2. Initialize your vault
keyblind init

# 3. Auto-configure MCP for Claude Code (one command)
keyblind setup-mcp

# 4. Store secrets
echo "sk-proj-abc123" | keyblind set OPENAI_API_KEY
keyblind set DATABASE_URL - # prompts securely

# 5. Sandbox your .env (AI agents see fakes)
keyblind sandbox

# 6. Resolve a secret
keyblind get OPENAI_API_KEY

# 7. Run commands with secrets injected as env vars
keyblind run -- npm start

# 8. List all secrets (names only, values hidden)
keyblind list

That's it. After keyblind setup-mcp, restart Claude Code. Then just say "list my keyblind secrets" or "use my OPENAI_API_KEY" — the AI agent resolves secrets at runtime without ever seeing them in the transcript.

MCP Server

Keyblind is MCP-first — it works with every AI tool that speaks the Model Context Protocol (Claude Code, Cursor, Copilot, Windsurf, Cline, Zed).

Setup (automatic)

keyblind setup-mcp

This auto-configures Claude Code to use Keyblind. Works from any directory. For other editors, see editor-specific configs.

Setup (manual)

Add a .mcp.json to your project root, or use claude mcp add:

claude mcp add --scope user keyblind -- keyblind start

With biometric gate (Touch ID required before secrets are resolved):

keyblind unlock # Authenticate first
claude mcp add keyblind -- keyblind start --biometric

Session expires after 15 minutes. Requires Pro or Team license.

Browser Extension

The Keyblind Chrome Extension detects and blocks secrets from being pasted into AI chat interfaces (Claude.ai, ChatGPT, Copilot).

👁 Chrome Web Store

Features:

  • Detects 12+ API key formats (OpenAI, GitHub, Stripe, AWS, etc.)

  • Intercepts paste events on AI chat sites

  • Warning banner when secrets are detected

  • Popup with vault connection status

Located in browser-extension/. Load as unpacked extension from chrome://extensions.

Security

  • AES-256-GCM encryption with PBKDF2 key derivation (600K iterations)

  • Machine-identity-bound key — encryption key XOR-wrapped with machine fingerprint

  • Zero network, zero telemetry — no cloud, no accounts, no analytics

  • Vault stored at ~/.keyblind/ with 0700 permissions

  • Deterministic sandbox fakes using HMAC-SHA256 per project + key name
