TruffleHog Secrets Scanner MCP

Model Context Protocol (MCP)Free

The TruffleHog MCP server integrates deep entropy scanning and 800+ credential detector patterns into AI workspaces. It verifies whether discovered credentials are valid and live across APIs without exposing secrets to model contexts.
