ProxyKey has developed a new protocol called MCP that allows AI agents to access APIs without directly handling sensitive credentials. This system provides agents with tools to manage API access, such as creating or revoking virtual tokens, but crucially omits any function to read the actual secret keys. This prevents sensitive information from entering the AI's context, which could otherwise be exposed through logging or prompt injection. The system is designed to facilitate scenarios like an AI agent deploying a new bot that requires an API token, by allowing the agent to create a placeholder token that a human can later populate with the real credentials. AI
