Leakferret Overview
The leakferret MCP server lets coding agents scan local repositories for hardcoded secrets, classify findings, verify credentials with providers, and propose environment-variable rewrites. It runs as a local JSON-RPC process over stdio, so secret values remain on the developer’s machine while provider checks go directly to the provider. Reach for it when an agent needs to inspect changes before committing, distinguish live credentials from fixtures, or compare findings against a baseline.
Primary Use Cases for Leakferret:
- Scan agent-generated code before committing
- Verify whether detected credentials are live
- Propose environment-variable rewrites for hardcoded secrets
- Compare repository findings against a baseline
