Start KeyLore locally
Run KeyLore on the local machine and open the UI to add credentials.
KeyLore supports common AI coding clients that need credentials during local
development. The exact configuration differs by client, but the operating
model stays the same: agents search metadata, choose the appropriate
credential for the task, and work through the broker rather than reading raw
tokens from a .env-loaded process.
Codex
Connect KeyLore through Codex config and keep credentials outside the agent process.
Gemini CLI
Use KeyLore as the credential boundary instead of exporting tokens into the shell.
Claude CLI
Register KeyLore once and let Claude request brokered access through MCP.
Universal pattern
Run KeyLore on the local machine and open the UI to add credentials.
Tell the client what each credential is for so it can distinguish between services, environments, and intended use cases.
Point Codex, Gemini CLI, Claude CLI, or another MCP client at KeyLore using the client’s normal local config path.
Confirm the client can discover credentials and complete tasks without receiving raw token values directly.
How it works
See what the model actually sees and how KeyLore expects agents to select credentials.
Security context
Understand why brokered credentials are safer than direct token exposure in agent tooling.
