API Key Case tools (7, 2 write)
write = sends, deletes, buys or postsRead from the package source without running it. The installed server may list more.
check_gitignoreReport whether .env and its variants are covered by .gitignore.
check_secretReport whether a named secret is registered in the OS secret store. Returns registered/missing only, never the value.
deploy_secretwrite actionSend a registered secret to a deploy target via its official CLI. Production (and github, always CI-reachable) never completes here — returns an action_required response for a human to run the CLI and use its separate Human Plane. Terminal input cannot approve it.
generate_env_examplewrite actionWrite or refresh .env.example with empty-valued keys for every required secret.
list_required_secretsList the environment variable names this project needs, from .env.example and source usage. Never returns values.
save_secretNever accepts or stores a value. Returns an action_required response for the Agent-independent `api-key-case save --ask` Human Plane.
scan_secret_leaksScan the project for possible leaked secret values outside ignored env files. Findings are redacted, never the raw value.

Install API Key Case in Claude Code, Cursor or VS Code
Runs npx -y api-key-case on your machine. Read the scan report first; the gateway never runs local packages.

What the publisher says
From the API Key Case repository's README, as published. We do not edit it. Read it on GitHub
API Key Case
Hand an AI coding agent the work, not the key. API Key Case scans a project locally, reports likely secret-handling risks, and generates redacted context for Claude Code, Codex, Cursor, and similar tools. Values live in your OS secret store, and Pro deploy places them into Cloudflare, Vercel, or GitHub through those platforms' official CLIs — a secret value is never returned, printed, or logged.

This README describes the v0.9.2 pre-stable release candidate. @latest follows npm's published dist-tag, which can lag during staged publication. Confirm that the exact 0.9.2 package is available before using its Agent workflow; the release checklist records the gates and acceptance evidence.
This pre-stable tool reduces accidental exposure risk. It does not guarantee complete secret protection. Always review generated files before sharing them.

Quick start
The normal Agent-first support baseline is Windows 11 with Windows Hello. macOS is a collaborative verification edition: its implementation, current CI and real Keychain evidence exist, while native GUI approval, Accessibility resistance, Intel hardware and real-Mac provider deployment remain unverified. macOS verification is still in progress; do not purchase Pro relying on macOS deploy. See the OS support status and the macOS verification plan.
Requires Node.js 20 or later on Windows, macOS, or Linux. On Windows, high-risk approval, remove, and trust forget in v0.9.1 require Windows 11 build 22000 or later and Windows Hello (PIN, fingerprint, or face) set up for that account; Windows 10 and accounts without Hello fail closed for those decisions and hand off to a human instead, while scan, vault, and Secret input remain available. Because deploy is the paid feature, check that before buying. Linux supports local diagnosis, status/history, and human-owned-terminal storage when an OS store is available; Agent-first input, approval, executing deploy, and approval-required value/trust removal are not provided. Linux keyring backend selection and login/reboot persistence remain environment-dependent.
The published release's basic commands can be tried independently:
# Scan the current project locally. Real .env contents are not read.
npx -y api-key-case@latest scan .
# Generate redacted context for an AI coding agent.
npx -y api-key-case@latest scan . --agent-report
# Save a value through a hidden interactive prompt.
npx -y api-key-case@latest save OPENAI_API_KEY
# Check status only. The value is never returned.
npx -y api-key-case@latest check OPENAI_API_KEYNever put a real secret in a command argument, Issue, chat message, or generated report. Human-owned terminal use keeps the hidden prompt; Agent-first use must request save --ask and enter the value only in the Human Plane dialog.
