Bitwarden, the trusted leader in password, passkey, and secrets management, is unveiling a new Model Context Protocol (MCP) server, designed to securely integrate AI agents and Bitwarden’s credential workflows. Inviting seamless interoperability, the Bitwarden MCP empowers secure agentic AI adoption, upholding its zero-knowledge security standards.
MCP is an open protocol that standardizes how applications provide context to large language models (LLMs), establishing a framework for the way AI models connect to different data sources and tools.
The introduction of the Bitwarden MCP combines the utility of MCP with the security commitments of Bitwarden, allowing AI assistants to access, generate, retrieve, and manage credentials while maintaining zero-knowledge, end-to-end encryption. This is established through Bitwarden’s local-first architecture, where the MCP server operates on a user’s local machine, ensuring all client interactions remain within the local environment and reducing exposure risk.
The server also integrates with the Bitwarden Command Line Interface (CLI), a secure infrastructure for managing Bitwarden vault operations from the command prompt, noted Bitwarden. For even greater control, users may opt for a self-hosted deployment of the MCP server, increasing authority over system configuration and data residency.
The Bitwarden MCP delivers to AI systems controlled access to credential workflows, ensuring encryption is never compromised throughout password generation and retrieval processes. With a consistent, open interface, the Bitwarden MCP eliminates the news for complex, custom integrations, fueling credential workflows with secure AI power.
The Bitwarden MCP is now available through the Bitwarden GitHub repository. To learn more, please visit https://bitwarden.com/.
