A personal MCP (Model Context Protocol) server for securely storing and accessing API keys across projects using the macOS Keychain.

> IMPORTANT: ServeMyAPI is a macOS-specific tool that relies on the macOS Keychain for secure storage. It is not compatible with Windows or Linux operating systems. See the security notes section for more details.

ServeMyAPI allows you to store API keys securely in the macOS Keychain and access them through a consistent MCP interface. This makes it easy to:

• Store API keys securely (they're never visible in .env files or config files)
• Access the same keys across multiple projects
• Use natural language to store and retrieve keys (when used with LLMs like Claude)
• Provide keys directly to your AI assistant when it needs to access services

Using ServeMyAPI instead of traditional .ENV files solves several common problems:

1. GitHub Security Conflicts:

• .ENV files need to be excluded from Git repositories for security (via .gitignore)
• This creates a "hidden context" problem where important configuration is invisible to collaborators and LLMs
• New developers often struggle with setting up the correct environment variables

1. LLM Integration Challenges:

• LLMs like Claude can't directly access your .ENV files due to security constraints
• When LLMs need API keys to complete tasks, you often need manual workarounds
• ServeMyAPI lets your AI assistant request keys through natural language

1. Cross-Project Consistency:

• With .ENV files, you typically need to duplicate API keys across multiple projects
• When keys change, you need to update multiple files
• ServeMyAPI provides a central storage location accessible from any project

This approach gives you the best of both worlds: secure storage of sensitive credent
