I built ShadowPaste: Let Claude Code work on real repositories without exposing secrets

AI coding agents are powerful, but they still have one big problem: secrets.

I built ShadowPaste, an open-source security layer that allows Claude Code and MCP agents to work on real repositories without exposing production credentials.

Features

• Secret virtualization
• AI-safe workspaces
• Zero-trust MCP gateway
• Risk scoring
• Audit trail

Why I built it

Current AI coding tools often require access to sensitive credentials. I wanted a safer approach where agents can work without seeing real secrets.

I'd love feedback from developers and security engineers.

What security problems have you faced while using AI coding agents?
