What is the Secretcarousel MCP server?

Connect Secretcarousel to Claude, Cursor or any other MCP client and it stops being a tab you switch to. Agent-first secrets vault. Store, rotate, and share credentials from chat. 16 tools. The secretcarousel mcp server is what makes that connection.

What the server does

Your agent touches credentials all day — a database URL here, an API key there — and the moment its context resets, those secrets end up pasted into a .env file in Slack, echoed into a log, or left in the transcript. You become the vault. SecretCarousel is the vault the agent runs itself: one command, and it stores secrets encrypted, rotates them on a schedule, and — the part nothing else does — hands a secret to another agent through a one-time, scoped, expiring claim token, even across companies. No plain-text value ever crosses the boundary.

  • Secrets — — store, retrieve, update, delete; AES-256-GCM at rest; typed (database-credentials, api-key, certificate, and more)
  • Zero-knowledge mode — — client-side encryption; the server only ever sees ciphertext, multi-device vaults via an enrollment handshake
  • Claim tokens — — hand a secret to another agent/tenant via a one-time, scoped, expiring, audited token
  • Rotation — — rotate now or on a schedule, with email alerts
  • Sharing — — time- and view-limited links for humans
  • Environments — — export as .env, promote secrets between environments

Installation

Because this one is hosted, setup is mostly authentication — you point your client at the endpoint and approve access. Nothing runs on your machine, so there is no runtime to keep patched.

Credentials and setup notes

Configuration is passed through the environment: SC_API_KEY, DATABASE_URL, SIGNING_KEY, YOUR_KEY. Treat anything key-shaped as a real credential — scope it to the minimum the server needs, and rotate it if it ever lands in a shared config.

Where it fits

Plenty of database access servers cover similar ground. The differences that matter in practice are scope of access and how much setup stands between you and a working tool call. It is maintained by jyswee; worth a glance at recent repository activity before you build anything load-bearing on it.

This entry was verified against Secretcarousel's own documentation before publication; SyncDev keeps the directory reviewed rather than auto-generated.

Worth knowing first

  • Your data travels to the provider's service, so the usual questions apply about what you send and what they retain.
  • Missing credentials fail quietly in some clients — if no tools show up, check the environment block first.
  • Keep per-call confirmation enabled while you learn its behaviour; it is the cheapest safeguard you have.
