can we adapt or package this with? &/or what instructions would our users need to do to add api key for premium if point to your mcp? Etc
if doesn’t make sense lmk can sketch more precisely etc
Short answer: yes, secretctl can help manage API keys for your premium tier.
It's a single binary with no dependencies (Apache 2.0 license), so you could: - Bundle it with your distribution - Point users to Homebrew: brew install forest6511/tap/secretctl - Or link to our binary downloads
For your premium API key scenario, here's how users would set it up:
1. Store the key: secretctl set your-service --field api_key=sk-xxx
2. Use secret_run or secret_run_with_bindings to inject it into commands. The AI agent never sees the actual secret - it's injected at runtime.
Currently free and open source. We're considering team/enterprise features down the road.
Happy to discuss integration patterns in more detail if useful!
