Capabilities

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.

Builds a database query by concatenation [пакет] .github/workflows/create-release.yml:62, .github/workflows/create-release.yml:62
      - name: Create or update the GitHub Release

# sops and age come from Wolfi's apk repo, signed by Chainguard. Pinned

Is this your server and something here is wrong? Tell us — corrections are free and do not require a plan.

This code can reach further than it looks

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.

Connect this server

This server runs on your own machine — install it with the package manager and the client starts it for you. Package name taken from the official registry entry.

run in your terminal
claude mcp add sops-mcp -- uvx sops-mcp
~/Library/Application Support/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json
{
  "mcpServers": {
    "sops-mcp": {
      "args": [
        "sops-mcp"
      ],
      "command": "uvx"
    }
  }
}
~/.codex/config.toml
[mcp_servers.sops-mcp]
command = "uvx"
args = ["sops-mcp"]
.cursor/mcp.json
{
  "mcpServers": {
    "sops-mcp": {
      "args": [
        "sops-mcp"
      ],
      "command": "uvx"
    }
  }
}
.vscode/mcp.json
{
  "mcpServers": {
    "sops-mcp": {
      "args": [
        "sops-mcp"
      ],
      "command": "uvx"
    }
  }
}

This one needs environment variables set before it will start: SOPS_MCP_AGE_PUBLIC_KEY (Age recipient public key. Required at startup.), SOPS_AGE_KEY (Age private key. Required at call time for any mutation tool (decrypt + re-encrypt). Read-only tools do not need it.). The author declared them in the registry entry; get the values from the project itself.

answering

Sops MCP — questions

Answers built from our own checks of this server.

Why is there no uptime for Sops MCP?
Sops MCP runs on your own machine over stdio — there is no network address to reach, so uptime cannot be measured for it by anyone. What can be measured is adoption: the pypi package sops-mcp was installed 53 times last week.
How do I connect Sops MCP?
Copy the ready config from this page — we generate it for Claude Code, Claude Desktop, Codex, Cursor and VS Code, each with the file path that client actually reads. It runs locally, so the command pulls sops-mcp straight from pypi; nothing to host, nothing to sign up for.
How many people use Sops MCP?
The pypi package sops-mcp was installed 53 times in the last week. Week over week that is -29%. We show installs rather than GitHub stars on purpose: a star is a bookmark, an install is someone actually running it.
Is Sops MCP open source?
We cannot say either way: written in Python, 0 stars on GitHub and 2 open issues, but we could not determine the licence, and without one the code is not open source by default.
