Target Reference Server

Aegis Overview

getaegis/aegis is a credential isolation proxy and MCP server for routing AI-agent API requests without exposing raw secrets. It stores credentials in an encrypted vault, injects them at the network boundary, restricts outbound domains, authenticates agents, and records requests. Use it when an agent needs access to services such as Slack, GitHub, or Stripe but should not receive reusable API keys. It can run as a transparent HTTP proxy or through MCP tools.

Primary Use Cases for Aegis:

Protect Slack bot tokens from direct agent access
Restrict GitHub API credentials by agent and domain
Inspect and rate-limit requests to Stripe
Route MCP API calls through an audited credential proxy
