# mcp-warden

> Local-first credential broker and MCP server for AI agents

mcp-warden is a local-first credential broker and Model Context Protocol (MCP) server. It allows AI coding agents to interact with APIs, SSH hosts, and databases using scoped presets while keeping secrets safely in the OS keychain. It is installed via Cargo or release binaries, managed through a CLI, and runs over stdio.
