vault-ask runs on your own machine — the client starts it, so there is no endpoint to ping. 13 installs a week from npm. Last commit 23 Oct 2026.
Request and send secrets for AI agents, end-to-end encrypted and never shown in the chat.

What this server is able to do. For an MCP server this is often the job itself — a terminal server runs commands because that is what it is for. Listed so you know what you are plugging in, not as an accusation.
child = spawn(argv[0], argv.slice(1), { cwd: cwd, env: childEnv, stdio: [stdin, 'pipe', 'pipe'] });
Is this your server and something here is wrong? Tell us — corrections are free and do not require a plan.
We found places where it runs commands, builds paths or queries from values it is given. None of that is a flaw by itself — it becomes one when the code changes, and code changes quietly between releases. We re-read it on every one.

Optional settings from the registry entry, left out of the block above:
VAULT_ASK_API_KEY (API key from your Erseni Vault account. Without it, each request solves a proof of work), VAULT_ASK_SERVER (Vault server URL).
Encrypted secrets vault for AI agents. 27 MCP tools resolve secrets at runtime, never leaking them.
Team secrets your AI agent can use but never read: encrypted in the repo, value-blind tools.
Zero-knowledge MCP secrets vault for AI agents: secrets injected at runtime, never seen by the model
Encrypted secrets and credential management for agents
Local encrypted secret broker for AI agents: request keys by name, approve each use over MCP.
Local AES-256-GCM vault for AI agents. Secrets stay local, LLMs never see real API keys.
Encrypted secrets for Next.js. AES-256-GCM with no vault needed.
MCP server for creating and managing SOPS-encrypted secrets
