Secure secret vault for AI agents using the Model Context Protocol (MCP). Give your agents access to what they need, without compromising your master password or exposing long-lived credentials.

## Why Keysmith?

AI agents and autonomous systems often need access to API keys, database credentials, or other secrets to perform tasks. Most current solutions involve:
1. **Environment Variables**: Hard to manage, visible to all processes, and persist indefinitely.
2. **Hardcoding**: Dangerous and bad practice.
3. **Complex Vaults (HashiCorp/1Password)**: Overkill for local agent development, often requiring complex CLI authentication.

**Keysmith** is designed to be the "Goldilocks" solution: simple enough for a single developer, yet secure enough to protect your most sensitive keys.

## Key Features

- **Strong Encryption**: Uses Fernet (AES-128-CBC) with key derivation via PBKDF2 (SHA-256, 480k iterations).
- **Time-To-Live (TTL)**: Automatically expires secrets after a set period. Great for temporary agent access.
- **Audit Logging**: Every single access (or attempted access) is logged to `~/.keysmith/audit.log`.
- **MCP Native**: Implements the Model Context Protocol, making it plug-and-play with any MCP-compatible environment or autonomous agent.
- **Multi-Agent Swarms**: Designed to support multiple agents on the same machine reading from the same vault simultaneously.
  > [!NOTE]
  > Multi-agent file locking currently requires Unix/macOS. Windows support is planned for v0.2.

## Installation
