Janee MCP Server

Secrets management for AI agents via MCP AI agents need API access to be useful. The current approach is to give them your keys and hope they behave. It runs locally over stdio via the published package.

People connecting security tools to Claude, Cursor, VS Code, or another MCP client. The project is written in TypeScript.

01 · Install Janee

before you install - you'll need

The README does not document required environment variables for a basic install.

Claude Code

claude mcp add rsdouglas-janee -- npx -y @true-and-useful/janee

Claude Desktop / Cursor / VS Code - add to config

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "rsdouglas-janee": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": [
        "-y",
        "@true-and-useful/janee"
      ]
    }
  }
}

Same JSON for Cursor. For VS Code, rename the top-level key from `mcpServers` to `servers`.

Using another client? Same JSON, different key

Security posture

What to check before giving this server access to your agent - from the registry, GitHub, and our own probes. We don't score safety; we show what's verifiable.

runs as local process (stdio) - runs on your machine with your user's permissions

license MIT - declared in the repository

npm package @true-and-useful/janee - the @true-and-useful scope differs from the repo owner (rsdouglas); confirm it's the project's official package

registry namespace io.github.rsdouglas is GitHub-verified and matches the repo owner
