## Introduction

This guide walks you through connecting Bitwarden to CrewAI 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 CrewAI 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 a Composio API key and configure your Bitwarden connection
- Set up CrewAI with an MCP enabled agent
- Create a Tool Router session or standalone MCP server for Bitwarden
- Build a conversational loop where your agent can execute Bitwarden operations

## What is CrewAI?

CrewAI is a powerful framework for building multi-agent AI systems. It provides primitives for defining agents with specific roles, creating tasks, and orchestrating workflows through crews.
Key features include:
- Agent Roles: Define specialized agents with specific goals and backstories
- Task Management: Create tasks with clear descriptions and expected outputs
- Crew Orchestration: Combine agents and tasks into collaborative workflows
- MCP Integration: Connect to external tools through Model Context Protocol

## 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:
- Python 3.9 or higher
- A Composio account and API key
- A Bitwarden connection authorized in Composio
- An OpenAI API key for the CrewAI LLM
- Basic familiarity with Python

### 1. Getting API Keys for OpenAI and Composio

OpenAI API Key
- Go to the [OpenAI dashboard](https://platform.openai.com/settings/organization/api-keys) and create an API key. You'll need credits to use the models, or you can connect to another model provider.
- 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

**What's happening:**
- composio connects your agent to Bitwarden via MCP
- crewai provides Agent, Task, Crew, and LLM primitives
- crewai-tools[mcp] includes MCP helpers
- python-dotenv loads environment variables from .env
```bash
pip install composio crewai crewai-tools[mcp] python-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 scopes the session to your account
- OPENAI_API_KEY lets CrewAI use your chosen OpenAI model
```bash
COMPOSIO_API_KEY=your_composio_api_key_here
USER_ID=your_user_id_here
OPENAI_API_KEY=your_openai_api_key_here
```

### 4. Import dependencies

**What's happening:**
- CrewAI classes define agents and tasks, and run the workflow
- MCPServerHTTP connects the agent to an MCP endpoint
- Composio will give you a short lived Bitwarden MCP URL
```python
import os
from composio import Composio
from crewai import Agent, Task, Crew
from crewai_tools import MCPServerAdapter
import dotenv

dotenv.load_dotenv()

COMPOSIO_API_KEY = os.getenv("COMPOSIO_API_KEY")
COMPOSIO_USER_ID = os.getenv("COMPOSIO_USER_ID")

if not COMPOSIO_API_KEY:
    raise ValueError("COMPOSIO_API_KEY is not set")
if not COMPOSIO_USER_ID:
    raise ValueError("COMPOSIO_USER_ID is not set")
```

### 5. Create a Composio Tool Router session for Bitwarden

**What's happening:**
- You create a Bitwarden only session through Composio
- Composio returns an MCP HTTP URL that exposes Bitwarden tools
```python
composio_client = Composio(api_key=COMPOSIO_API_KEY)
session = composio_client.create(user_id=COMPOSIO_USER_ID, toolkits=["bitwarden"])

url = session.mcp.url
```

### 6. Initialize the MCP Server

**What's Happening:**
- Server Configuration: The code sets up connection parameters including the MCP server URL, streamable HTTP transport, and Composio API key authentication.
- MCP Adapter Bridge: MCPServerAdapter acts as a context manager that converts Composio MCP tools into a CrewAI-compatible format.
- Agent Setup: Creates a CrewAI Agent with a defined role (Search Assistant), goal (help with internet searches), and access to the MCP tools.
- Configuration Options: The agent includes settings like verbose=False for clean output and max_iter=10 to prevent infinite loops.
- Dynamic Tool Usage: Once created, the agent automatically accesses all Composio Search tools and decides when to use them based on user queries.
```python
server_params = {
    "url": url,
    "transport": "streamable-http",
    "headers": {"x-api-key": COMPOSIO_API_KEY},
}

with MCPServerAdapter(server_params) as tools:
    agent = Agent(
        role="Search Assistant",
        goal="Help users search the internet effectively",
        backstory="You are a helpful assistant with access to search tools.",
        tools=tools,
        verbose=False,
        max_iter=10,
    )
```

### 7. Create a CLI Chatloop and define the Crew

**What's Happening:**
- Interactive CLI Setup: The code creates an infinite loop that continuously prompts for user input and maintains the entire conversation history in a string variable.
- Input Validation: Empty inputs are ignored to prevent processing blank messages and keep the conversation clean.
- Context Building: Each user message is appended to the conversation context, which preserves the full dialogue history for better agent responses.
- Dynamic Task Creation: For every user input, a new Task is created that includes both the full conversation history and the current request as context.
- Crew Execution: A Crew is instantiated with the agent and task, then kicked off to process the request and generate a response.
- Response Management: The agent's response is converted to a string, added to the conversation context, and displayed to the user, maintaining conversational continuity.
```python
print("Chat started! Type 'exit' or 'quit' to end.\n")

conversation_context = ""

while True:
    user_input = input("You: ").strip()

    if user_input.lower() in ["exit", "quit", "bye"]:
        print("\nGoodbye!")
        break

    if not user_input:
        continue

    conversation_context += f"\nUser: {user_input}\n"
    print("\nAgent is thinking...\n")

    task = Task(
        description=(
            f"Conversation history:\n{conversation_context}\n\n"
            f"Current request: {user_input}"
        ),
        expected_output="A helpful response addressing the user's request",
        agent=agent,
    )

    crew = Crew(agents=[agent], tasks=[task], verbose=False)
    result = crew.kickoff()
    response = str(result)

    conversation_context += f"Agent: {response}\n"
    print(f"Agent: {response}\n")
```

## Complete Code

```python
from crewai import Agent, Task, Crew, LLM
from crewai_tools import MCPServerAdapter
from composio import Composio
from dotenv import load_dotenv
import os

load_dotenv()

GOOGLE_API_KEY = os.getenv("GOOGLE_API_KEY")
COMPOSIO_API_KEY = os.getenv("COMPOSIO_API_KEY")
COMPOSIO_USER_ID = os.getenv("COMPOSIO_USER_ID")

if not GOOGLE_API_KEY:
    raise ValueError("GOOGLE_API_KEY is not set in the environment.")
if not COMPOSIO_API_KEY:
    raise ValueError("COMPOSIO_API_KEY is not set in the environment.")
if not COMPOSIO_USER_ID:
    raise ValueError("COMPOSIO_USER_ID is not set in the environment.")

# Initialize Composio and create a session
composio = Composio(api_key=COMPOSIO_API_KEY)
session = composio.create(
    user_id=COMPOSIO_USER_ID,
    toolkits=["bitwarden"],
)
url = session.mcp.url

# Configure LLM
llm = LLM(
    model="gpt-5",
    api_key=os.getenv("OPENAI_API_KEY"),
)

server_params = {
    "url": url,
    "transport": "streamable-http",
    "headers": {"x-api-key": COMPOSIO_API_KEY},
}

with MCPServerAdapter(server_params) as tools:
    agent = Agent(
        role="Search Assistant",
        goal="Help users with internet searches",
        backstory="You are an expert assistant with access to Composio Search tools.",
        tools=tools,
        llm=llm,
        verbose=False,
        max_iter=10,
    )

    print("Chat started! Type 'exit' or 'quit' to end.\n")

    conversation_context = ""

    while True:
        user_input = input("You: ").strip()

        if user_input.lower() in ["exit", "quit", "bye"]:
            print("\nGoodbye!")
            break

        if not user_input:
            continue

        conversation_context += f"\nUser: {user_input}\n"
        print("\nAgent is thinking...\n")

        task = Task(
            description=(
                f"Conversation history:\n{conversation_context}\n\n"
                f"Current request: {user_input}"
            ),
            expected_output="A helpful response addressing the user's request",
            agent=agent,
        )

        crew = Crew(agents=[agent], tasks=[task], verbose=False)
        result = crew.kickoff()
        response = str(result)

        conversation_context += f"Agent: {response}\n"
        print(f"Agent: {response}\n")
```

## Conclusion

You now have a CrewAI agent connected to Bitwarden through Composio's Tool Router. The agent can perform Bitwarden operations through natural language commands.
Next steps:
- Add role-specific instructions to customize agent behavior

## 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 CrewAI?

Yes, you can. CrewAI 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.
