Why this setup matters

Claude can use the credential safely without seeing it.

Claude CLI workflows often involve broad local file and tool access already. KeyLore helps keep credential handling tighter by replacing flat env-file exposure with metadata discovery and brokered use.

Recommended flow

How to use Claude CLI with KeyLore.

  • Install and start KeyLore, then add the secrets Claude CLI may need for local development tasks.
  • Create metadata that makes each credential easy to distinguish without embedding the secret itself.
  • Wire Claude CLI into the local KeyLore or MCP-based workflow you are using.
  • Validate that Claude CLI can identify the correct credential and complete the task without being shown the raw token value.

Prompt example

What to ask Claude first.

Search KeyLore for the credential used for the internal issue tracker in development, confirm it matches the task, and request brokered access rather than asking for the token directly.
