Securing credentials in AI coding agents
Cursor, Claude Code, Windsurf, and similar tools inherit full-access credentials from your environment by default — the same keys that let them call an API also let them do everything else that key covers. These guides cover the per-tool credential model, the MCP config file risk, and how to replace broad access with scoped, auditable connections.
