## Introduction

This guide walks you through connecting Bitwarden to the Claude Agent SDK using the Composio tool router. By the end, you'll have a working Bitwarden agent that can retrieve login details for salesforce account, list all shared vault items this week, generate a new secure password for dropbox through natural language commands.
This guide will help you understand how to give your Claude Agent SDK agent real control over a Bitwarden account through Composio's Bitwarden MCP server.
Before we dive in, let's take a quick look at the key ideas and tools involved.

## TL;DR

Here's what you'll learn:
- Get and set up your Claude/Anthropic and Composio API keys
- Install the necessary dependencies
- Initialize Composio and create a Tool Router session for Bitwarden
- Configure an AI agent that can use Bitwarden as a tool
- Run a live chat session where you can ask the agent to perform Bitwarden operations

## What is Claude Agent SDK?

The Claude Agent SDK is Anthropic's official framework for building AI agents powered by Claude. It provides a streamlined interface for creating agents with MCP tool support and conversation management.
Key features include:
- Native MCP Support: Built-in support for Model Context Protocol servers
- Permission Modes: Control tool execution permissions
- Streaming Responses: Real-time response streaming for interactive applications
- Context Manager: Clean async context management for sessions

## What is the Bitwarden MCP server, and what's possible with it?

The Bitwarden MCP server is an implementation of the Model Context Protocol that connects your AI agent and assistants like Claude, Cursor, etc directly to your Bitwarden account. It provides structured and secure access to your encrypted vault, so your agent can perform actions like retrieving credentials, managing vault items, updating passwords, generating new secure passwords, and organizing your vault for you.
- Secure credential retrieval: Instantly fetch login details, secure notes, or card information from your Bitwarden vault whenever your agent needs to access or autofill credentials.
- Password management and updates: Direct your agent to update existing passwords, change login details, or rotate credentials for improved security.
- Vault item creation and organization: Have your agent create new items—like logins, notes, or identities—and organize them into folders or collections for easy access and sharing.
- Password generation and security checks: Use the agent to generate strong, unique passwords and even check for reused or weak credentials across your vault.
- Automated sharing and access management: Let your agent securely share selected credentials with trusted users or teams, while maintaining detailed access controls.

## Supported Tools

| Tool slug | Name | Description |
|---|---|---|
| `BITWARDEN_DELETE_GROUP` | Delete Group | Tool to delete a group. Use when you need to permanently remove a group by its ID after ensuring no dependencies exist. |
| `BITWARDEN_DELETE_MEMBER` | Delete Member | Tool to delete a specific organization member. Use when you need to remove a member from the organization after verifying their member ID. |
| `BITWARDEN_GET_GROUP_MEMBER_IDS` | Get Group Member IDs | Tool to retrieve the list of member IDs for a specific Bitwarden group. Use when you need only the user IDs of all members in a group. |
| `BITWARDEN_GET_ORG_SUBSCRIPTION` | Get Organization Subscription | Tool to retrieve subscription details of the current organization. Use after obtaining a valid bearer token. |
| `BITWARDEN_IMPORT_MEMBERS_AND_GROUPS` | Import Members and Groups | Tool to bulk import members and groups in a single request. Use when migrating or seeding an organization with multiple members and groups at once. Import is all-or-nothing: a single malformed entry in `members` or `groups` causes the entire request to fail. |
| `BITWARDEN_REINVITE_MEMBER` | Reinvite Member | Tool to re-send an invitation to a pending or removed member. Use when an existing member's invite needs re-issuing. |
| `BITWARDEN_RETRIEVE_GROUP` | Retrieve Group | Tool to retrieve details for a specific group. Use when you need to fetch group permissions and assigned collections by group ID after authenticating with a valid access token. |
| `BITWARDEN_RETRIEVE_MEMBER` | Retrieve Member | Tool to retrieve details for a specific member. Use after obtaining a valid member ID to get full metadata. |
| `BITWARDEN_UPDATE_MEMBER` | Update Member | Tool to update an organization member’s admin status. Use when toggling admin privileges for an existing member. |

## Creating MCP Server - Stand-alone vs Composio SDK

The Bitwarden MCP server is an implementation of the Model Context Protocol that connects your AI agent to Bitwarden. It provides structured and secure access so your agent can perform Bitwarden operations on your behalf through a secure, permission-based interface.
With Composio's managed implementation, you don't have to create your own developer app. For production, if you're building an end product, we recommend using your own credentials. The managed server helps you prototype fast and go from 0-1 faster.

## Step-by-step Guide

### 1. Prerequisites

Before starting, make sure you have:
- Composio API Key and Claude/Anthropic API Key
- Primary know-how of Claude Agents SDK
- A Bitwarden account
- Some knowledge of Python

### 1. Getting API Keys for Claude/Anthropic and Composio

Claude/Anthropic API Key
- Go to the [Anthropic Console](https://console.anthropic.com/settings/organization/api-keys) and create an API key. You'll need credits to use the models.
- Keep the API key safe.
Composio API Key
- Log in to the [Composio dashboard](https://dashboard.composio.dev?utm_source=toolkits&utm_medium=framework_docs).
- Navigate to your API settings and generate a new API key.
- Store this key securely as you'll need it for authentication.

### 2. Install dependencies

No description provided.
```python
pip install composio-anthropic claude-agent-sdk python-dotenv
```

```typescript
npm install @anthropic-ai/claude-agent-sdk @composio/core dotenv
```

### 3. Set up environment variables

Create a .env file in your project root.
What's happening:
- COMPOSIO_API_KEY authenticates with Composio
- USER_ID identifies the user for session management
- ANTHROPIC_API_KEY authenticates with Anthropic/Claude
```bash
COMPOSIO_API_KEY=your_composio_api_key_here
USER_ID=your_user_id_here
ANTHROPIC_API_KEY=your_anthropic_api_key_here
```

### 4. Import dependencies

No description provided.
```python
import asyncio
from claude_agent_sdk import ClaudeSDKClient, ClaudeAgentOptions
import os
from composio import Composio
from dotenv import load_dotenv

load_dotenv()
```

```typescript
import 'dotenv/config';
import readline from 'node:readline';
import { Composio } from '@composio/core';
import { query, type Options } from "@anthropic-ai/claude-agent-sdk";

dotenv.config();
```

## Conclusion

You've successfully built a Claude Agent SDK agent that can interact with Bitwarden through Composio's Tool Router.
Key features:
- Native MCP support through Claude's agent framework
- Streaming responses for real-time interaction
- Permission bypass for smooth automated workflows
You can extend this by adding more toolkits, implementing custom business logic, or building a web interface around the agent.

## Frequently Asked Questions

### What are the differences in Tool Router MCP and Bitwarden MCP?

With a standalone Bitwarden MCP server, the agents and LLMs can only access a fixed set of Bitwarden tools tied to that server. However, with the Composio Tool Router, agents can dynamically load tools from Bitwarden and many other apps based on the task at hand, all through a single MCP endpoint.

### Can I use Tool Router MCP with Claude Agent SDK?

Yes, you can. Claude Agent SDK fully supports MCP integration. You get structured tool calling, message history handling, and model orchestration while Tool Router takes care of discovering and serving the right Bitwarden tools.

### Can I manage the permissions and scopes for Bitwarden while using Tool Router?

Yes, absolutely. You can configure which Bitwarden scopes and actions are allowed when connecting your account to Composio. You can also bring your own OAuth credentials or API configuration so you keep full control over what the agent can do.

### How safe is my data with Composio Tool Router?

All sensitive data such as tokens, keys, and configuration is fully encrypted at rest and in transit. Composio is SOC 2 Type 2 compliant and follows strict security practices so your Bitwarden data and credentials are handled as safely as possible.
