agentic-keyvault

A Cloudflare-native secrets manager with a CLI and an MCP server. Never lose an API key again.

agentic-keyvault is a small, self-hostable secrets store that runs entirely on Cloudflare Workers + D1. It gives you one source of truth for your API keys, tokens, and environment variables — one that you (and your AI coding agents) can read back, version, and rotate in a single place.

Why

AI coding agents increasingly generate and set secrets for you — random API keys, internal tokens, signing secrets — and push them straight into write-only encrypted stores (Cloudflare Worker secrets, Vercel env, etc.). Those stores never let you read the value back, so:

• The value is lost the moment it's set — you never saw it, you can't reuse it.

• Rotating a provider key (shown only once) means updating it in many places. Miss one and production breaks.

agentic-keyvault fixes this by being a store you own and can read from, designed for both humans (CLI) and agents (MCP):

• Projects group your secrets. A project can optionally bind to a GitHub repo origin, so akv env pull inside a repo just works.

• General (repo-less) secrets live under a project too.

• Every write is versioned and never deleted — nothing is ever lost.

• Rotate once, read everywhere.

• Storage: Cloudflare D1. Queryable, transactional, versioned. Secret values are stored only as ciphertext.

• Encryption: envelope encryption with AES-256-GCM. A master key (KEK) lives as a Worker secret; each secret version has its own random data key (DEK) that is wrapped by the KEK. A D1/backup leak alone reveals nothing.

• Auth: opaque bearer tokens, stored SHA-256 hashed. Admin token plus project-scoped read-only / read-write tokens for agents.

See docs/ARCHITECTURE.md for the full design and threat model.

Packages

The Go CLI (cli-go/) is the primary, production CLI: OS-keychain token storage with AKV_TOKEN env override for agents/CI, akv run -- <cmd> to inject secrets into a subprocess, .env/JSON export, shell completions, and --json everywhere.

Status

Early development. Built in phases — see docs/ARCHITECTURE.md.
