maisecrets keeps AI coding tools on placeholders
A free plugin for Claude Code and Codex that masks secrets before they reach the model while preserving real values for tool calls.
- For
- Claude Code and Codex users handling credentials
- Worth noticing
- The page says it runs locally, uses Python’s standard library, and makes no network calls; it labels the plugin Apache-2.0.
Field notes
The homepage names Claude Code and Codex as supported hosts and says the plugin uses only Python’s standard library, runs locally, and makes no network calls. It labels the project Apache-2.0 and links to installation instructions and GitHub. The page’s key design distinction is that a model-facing placeholder is meant to be replaced with the real value when the coding agent makes an actual tool call; this behavior is presented as a product claim, not demonstrated in the extracted material.
