mcp-credentials-vault 1.1.0

# Backend Configuration

## Overview

The Credentials Vault MCP server supports 5 pluggable backends. Enable them via Cargo feature flags:

```toml
# Single backend
mcp-credentials-vault = { version = "1.0", features = ["aws"] }

# Multiple backends
mcp-credentials-vault = { version = "1.0", features = ["aws", "gcp", "adk-platform"] }

# All backends
mcp-credentials-vault = { version = "1.0", features = ["all-backends"] }
```

## ADK Vault (Internal)

**Feature:** `adk-vault` (enabled by default)

In-memory credential store with optional file persistence. Ideal for:
- Platform-managed credentials
- Development and testing
- Credentials that don't need an external vault

### Configuration

| Env Variable | Description |
|-------------|-------------|
| `ADK_VAULT_PATH` | Path to JSON persistence file (optional) |

### Capabilities

- ✅ Full CRUD lifecycle
- ✅ Audit logging (in-memory)
- ✅ Scope enforcement
- ✅ Rotation (updates timestamp)
- ✅ File persistence across restarts

### Usage

```rust
use mcp_credentials_vault::adk_vault::AdkVaultBackend;

// In-memory only
let backend = AdkVaultBackend::new(None);

// With file persistence
let backend = AdkVaultBackend::new(Some("./vault.json".into()));
```

## AWS Secrets Manager

**Feature:** `aws`

Uses the official AWS SDK. Authenticates via standard AWS credential chain (env vars, IAM role, SSO, credential file).

### Configuration

| Env Variable | Description |
|-------------|-------------|
| `AWS_REGION` or `AWS_DEFAULT_REGION` | AWS region |
| `AWS_ACCESS_KEY_ID` | Access key (or use IAM role) |
| `AWS_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY` | Secret key (or use IAM role) |
| `AWS_SESSION_TOKEN` | Session token (for temporary creds) |

### Capabilities

- ✅ List all secrets
- ✅ Describe secret metadata
- ✅ Rotation (triggers AWS rotation Lambda)
- ✅ Revocation (deletes secret)
- ⚠️ Audit via CloudTrail (not queryable from this server)

### Usage

```rust
use mcp_credentials_vault::aws::AwsBackend;

let backend = AwsBackend::new(Some("us-east-1".into())).await;
```

---

## GCP Secret Manager

**Feature:** `gcp`

Uses Application Default Credentials (ADC) via `gcp_auth`.

### Configuration

| Env Variable | Description |
|-------------|-------------|
| `GCP_PROJECT_ID` or `GOOGLE_CLOUD_PROJECT` | GCP project ID |
| `GOOGLE_APPLICATION_CREDENTIALS` | Path to service account JSON (optional) |

### Capabilities

- ✅ List all secrets
- ✅ Get secret metadata and labels
- ✅ Rotation (adds new secret version)
- ✅ Revocation (deletes secret)
- ⚠️ Audit via Cloud Audit Logs (not queryable from this server)

### Usage

```rust
use mcp_credentials_vault::gcp::GcpBackend;

let backend = GcpBackend::new("my-project-id".into()).await?;
```

---

## Azure Key Vault

**Feature:** `azure`

Uses Azure REST API with bearer token authentication.

### Configuration

| Env Variable | Description |
|-------------|-------------|
| `AZURE_VAULT_URL` | Key Vault URL (e.g. `https://myvault.vault.azure.net`) |
| `AZURE_ACCESS_TOKEN` | Azure AD bearer token |

### Capabilities

- ✅ List all secrets
- ✅ Get secret metadata and attributes
- ✅ Rotation (creates new secret version)
- ✅ Revocation (disables secret)
- ⚠️ Audit via Azure Monitor (not queryable from this server)

### Usage

```rust
use mcp_credentials_vault::azure::AzureBackend;

let backend = AzureBackend::new(
    "https://myvault.vault.azure.net".into(),
    "eyJ0eXAi...".into(),
);
```

## HashiCorp Vault

**Feature:** `hashicorp`

Connects to HashiCorp Vault's KV v2 secrets engine via HTTP API.

### Configuration

| Env Variable | Description |
|-------------|-------------|
| `VAULT_ADDR` | Vault server URL (e.g. `http://127.0.0.1:8200`) |
| `VAULT_TOKEN` | Authentication token |
| `VAULT_MOUNT` | KV v2 mount path (default: `secret`) |

### Capabilities

- ✅ List secrets (via metadata LIST)
- ✅ Get secret metadata
- ✅ Rotation (writes new KV version)
- ✅ Revocation (deletes all versions)
- ⚠️ Audit via Vault audit device (not queryable from this server)

### Usage

```rust
use mcp_credentials_vault::hashicorp::HashicorpBackend;

let backend = HashicorpBackend::new(
    "http://127.0.0.1:8200".into(),
    "hvs.CAESIG...".into(),
    None, // uses "secret" mount
);
```

## ADK-Rust Enterprise Platform

**Feature:** `adk-platform`

Delegates all operations to the ADK-Rust Enterprise Platform API. This is the recommended backend for production deployments where the platform manages credentials centrally.

### Configuration

| Env Variable | Description |
|-------------|-------------|
| `ADK_PLATFORM_URL` | Platform base URL (e.g. `http://localhost:8080`) |
| `ADK_PLATFORM_API_KEY` | Platform API key (e.g. `ep_live_xxxx`) |
| `ADK_WORKSPACE_ID` | Workspace UUID |

### API Mapping

| MCP Tool | Platform Endpoint |
|----------|------------------|
| `list_credentials` | `GET /api/v1/credentials` |
| `get_credential_metadata` | `GET /api/v1/credentials/{id}` |
| `request_runtime_secret` | `POST /api/v1/credentials/{id}/runtime-handle` |
| `request_workload_token` | `POST /api/v1/credentials/{id}/workload-token` |
| `rotate_credential` | `POST /api/v1/credentials/{id}/rotate` |
| `revoke_credential` | `DELETE /api/v1/credentials/{id}` |
| `audit_credential_access` | `GET /api/v1/admin/audit?resource_type=credentials` |
| `validate_secret_scope` | `POST /api/v1/credentials/{id}/validate-scope` |

### Capabilities

- ✅ Full CRUD lifecycle via platform API
- ✅ Centralized audit logging
- ✅ Platform-managed rotation workflows
- ✅ Workspace-scoped access
- ✅ Auto-detected from environment variables

### Usage

```rust
use mcp_credentials_vault::adk_platform::AdkPlatformBackend;

// From environment (recommended)
let backend = AdkPlatformBackend::from_env().expect("ADK_PLATFORM_* env vars required");

// Explicit
let backend = AdkPlatformBackend::new(
    "http://localhost:8080".into(),
    "ep_live_xxxx".into(),
    "019e5452-01dc-...".into(),
);
```

## Implementing a Custom Backend

Implement the `VaultBackend` trait:

```rust
use async_trait::async_trait;
use mcp_credentials_vault::{VaultBackend, VaultError, types::*};

pub struct MyBackend;

#[async_trait]
impl VaultBackend for MyBackend {
    fn backend_type(&self) -> BackendType { /* ... */ }
    async fn health_check(&self) -> Result<(), VaultError> { /* ... */ }
    async fn list_credentials(&self) -> Result<Vec<Credential>, VaultError> { /* ... */ }
    async fn get_credential(&self, id: &str) -> Result<Credential, VaultError> { /* ... */ }
    async fn issue_runtime_handle(&self, id: &str, scope: &[String], ttl: u64) -> Result<RuntimeSecretHandle, VaultError> { /* ... */ }
    async fn mint_workload_token(&self, id: &str, audience: &str, ttl: u64) -> Result<WorkloadToken, VaultError> { /* ... */ }
    async fn rotate(&self, id: &str) -> Result<(), VaultError> { /* ... */ }
    async fn revoke(&self, id: &str) -> Result<(), VaultError> { /* ... */ }
    async fn audit_log(&self, id: Option<&str>, limit: usize) -> Result<Vec<AuditEvent>, VaultError> { /* ... */ }
}
```
