Bitwarden and Vaultwarden integration for listing tagged items, retrieving TOTP codes, creating one-time Sends, and saving new secrets.

README

Bitwarden / Vaultwarden MCP server — BYOK vault access for AI agents.

Exposes 6 tools over stdio. Secret values are never sent in plaintext through list_vault_items or get_vault_metadata — secrets are delivered only through Bitwarden Sends (E2E-encrypted one-time URLs).

Install

npx -y @aiwerk/mcp-server-vault

Configure

Variable Required Default Description
VAULT_API_BASE Base URL of your Bitwarden/Vaultwarden instance (no trailing slash), e.g. https://pass.aiwerk.ch
VAULT_CLIENT_ID Personal API key client_id (e.g. user.abc-def-1234)
VAULT_CLIENT_SECRET Personal API key client_secret
VAULT_MASTER_PASSWORD Vault master password (used for E2E decryption key derivation)
VAULT_EXPOSED_COLLECTION mcp-exposed Name of the collection visible to agents
VAULT_AGENT_CREATED_COLLECTION mcp-agent-created Name of the collection for agent-created secrets
VAULT_API_TIMEOUT_MS 15000 HTTP timeout in milliseconds
DRY_RUN 0 Set 1 to log write operations without executing them
READ_ONLY 0 Set 1 to block all write operations (Send creation and save)

Auth — Personal API Key

  1. Log in to your Bitwarden/Vaultwarden instance
  2. Go to Account Settings → Security → Keys → API Key
  3. Note the client_id and client_secret
  4. Reference: https://bitwarden.com/help/personal-api-key/

Vault Setup

Before using this server, create two collections in your Vaultwarden organization:

  • mcp-exposed — items you want to expose to agents (your existing secrets: API keys, passwords, etc.)
  • mcp-agent-created — items written by agents via save_generated_secret

Add items to mcp-exposed via the Vaultwarden web UI.

Custom fields

Optionally add these custom fields to items in mcp-exposed for fine-grained control:

Field Type Purpose
mcp-scope text Comma-separated glob list of tool/server names allowed to use this item (e.g. stripe.*,openai)
mcp-chat-reveal-allowed text "true" to allow chat delivery of the Send URL
mcp-delivery-channel text "chat" (default), "telegram", or "email"

Tools

Tool Description
list_vault_items List items from mcp-exposed and mcp-agent-created. Returns metadata only — no secret values.
get_vault_metadata Get full metadata for a named item (name, type, username, URIs, custom fields, expiry). No password/secret.
reveal_secret_via_send Reveal a secret via a Bitwarden Send (E2E-encrypted one-time URL with configurable TTL and max-views).
get_totp_code Get the current TOTP code for a login item, including remaining seconds in the period.
save_generated_secret Save an agent-generated secret (password / api-key) into mcp-agent-created as a secure note. CREATE-only — no overwrite.
save_login_item Save sign-in credentials (username + password + optional URL + TOTP seed) into mcp-agent-created as a real login item. CREATE-only — no overwrite.
health_check Check connectivity: auth status, API version, collection visibility, item counts, latency.

Security model

  • Opt-in exposure: only items in mcp-exposed or mcp-agent-created are accessible; all other items return item_not_visible
  • Read-only existing items: no update_*, delete_*, or change_* tools exist
  • Secret value delivery via Send only: list_vault_items and get_vault_metadata never return passwords, TOTP seeds, or api-key values
  • E2E encryption preserved: the server decrypts vault data locally (master password stays in env vars, never sent over the wire)
  • Constrained agent writes: save_generated_secret and save_login_item are CREATE-only into the dedicated mcp-agent-created collection

Note: Actual {{vault:NAME}} placeholder resolution in tool call arguments happens in the AIWerk hosted bridge, not in this server. The bridge's resolution uses the same BYOC credentials. See the bridge-patch companion document for details.
