I recently contributed this comprehensive guide (388 lines) on secrets management for MCP servers.
It covers:
- Why secrets management matters for AI agents
- Comparison of approaches (hardcoded, env vars, Keychain, Vault, JIT provisioning)
- Practical examples for GitHub, Slack, PostgreSQL servers
- Security best practices
- Future directions for MCP ecosystem
MCP (Model Context Protocol) is Anthropic's open protocol for connecting AI agents to data sources and tools. As adoption grows, proper secrets management becomes critical.
Happy to answer questions about the security considerations!
