Wundervault MCP

A zero-knowledge secrets vault for AI agents. Every API key you paste into an agent chat or a .env file ends up in context windows, transcripts, and provider logs. Wundervault's answer: the agent never receives the secret at all. It asks for work - "run this deploy with the key injected" - and a local daemon decrypts the secret, injects it into the subprocess environment, zeroes the buffer, and scrubs the output…. Its 6 documented tools cover vault, entry.

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

01 · Install Wundervault MCP

before you install - you'll need

WUNDERVAULT_MOCK

Environment variables documented in the project's README - it lists which are required and which have defaults.

Claude Code

claude mcp add wundervault-wundervault-mcp -- npx -y @wundervault/mcp-server

Claude Desktop / Cursor / VS Code - add to config

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "wundervault-wundervault-mcp": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": [
        "-y",
        "@wundervault/mcp-server"
      ]
    }
  }
}

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

Using another client? Same JSON, different key

03 · What Wundervault MCP can do

Prose above is summarized from the project's README and registry record - no invented capabilities.

What you can build

With this server connected, an agent can list all vault entries available to this agent. Returns entry IDs and secret names - no values, and retrieve and decrypt a vault secret. Optionally execute a command with it.

The 6 tools it gives your agent

Extracted from the project's README - what wundervault-mcp lets an agent do.

vault_entries_list
- List all vault entries available to this agent. Returns entry IDs and secret names - no values.
vault_entry_get
- Retrieve and decrypt a vault secret. Optionally execute a command with it.
vault_exec
- Execute a shell command with a vault secret injected as an env var - locally or on a remote host over SSH. The secret is injected into the subprocess and the bu
vault_entry_inject_env
- Write a vault secret directly into a config file (~/.npmrc, ~/.netrc, ~/.docker/config.json, or a project .env) without the plaintext passing through the agent.
vault_rsync
- Sync a local directory to a remote host using rsync over SSH, with the SSH key fetched from the vault (temp keyfile deleted immediately after transfer).
vault_entry_forget
- Discard a local reference. No-op on the server.
