KRU

A local password manager and stdio MCP relay that lets agents use credentials without exposing hidden plaintext.

KRU is a free, open-source, cross-platform credential vault with a local stdio MCP server built in: Claude Code, Codex, Cursor, and other MCP clients can use saved passwords, API keys, SSH keys, TOTP codes, and custom secrets in their workflows, while plaintext stays hidden outside of explicit, approved reveals. It ships as a desktop GUI (with tray and desktop input) plus a headless Linux build, requires no account, and documents its security model in a dedicated SECURITY.md.

What it does

  • Local stdio MCP relay: agents get scoped access to secrets without seeing hidden plaintext
  • Handles passwords, API keys, SSH keys, TOTP codes, and custom secret types
  • Windows, macOS (arm64), and Linux builds — GUI plus a headless Linux package
  • No account, free and open source; SECURITY.md documents the model

When to use it

For developers whose agent workflows keep stalling on credential prompts, and who want local-only control instead of cloud secret managers.

Getting started

# Download the package for your OS from GitHub Releases
open https://github.com/omaekumiko2-create/kru/releases/latest
# macOS arm64 (.app zip), Windows x64 (.zip), Linux GUI (AppImage) or headless (.tar.gz)

Things to know

Desktop input features need Accessibility permission on macOS and X11 on Linux; this is a young project — review SECURITY.md and the source yourself before pointing agents at real credentials.
