About

Bitwarden ships in the w6w first-party pack. It declares 28 actions, 1 health check, and the host runs its code in a sandbox that never sees the credential.

Overview

Bitwarden is an open-source password manager, and its organization Public API is how a company runs it as part of the rest of its people operations. This app covers that API end to end: inviting, updating, revoking, restoring and removing members; creating and maintaining groups and their membership; assigning collection access; reading and changing the organization’s policies; and reading the audit event log.

It is built for onboarding and offboarding workflows and for compliance reporting: provision a new hire into the right groups, revoke a leaver the moment HR closes the record, enforce a policy such as two-step login or a minimum master-password length, or pull the last day’s events into a log store. Bulk directory import and seat and autoscale limits are included for teams that sync from an identity provider.

It authenticates with the organization API key (client id and secret) on the US or EU cloud, and refreshes its one-hour access token itself. It does not touch vault items: reading or editing passwords is the separate Vault Management API, which runs locally through the Bitwarden CLI rather than as a hosted service.

Build with Bitwarden

Three routes to the same 28 actions. The Workflow tab is generated from Bitwarden's own manifest and carries its real ids, so it is copy-pasteable; the Code and CLI examples are the same call for any action on any app, so every app-specific value in them is a blank you fill in.

Delete a collection

collection-delete

Permanently delete a collection. Items in it are not deleted. Bitwarden answers an empty 200, and 404 if the id is unknown (including a repeat delete).

Get a collection

collection-get

Retrieve one collection and its group assignments. A collection has no name field in this API: names are end-to-end encrypted, so only the id and `externalId` are visible.

List collections

collection-list

Every collection in the organization with the groups assigned to each. The spec documents NO pagination parameter and no continuation token for this endpoint (the prose guide claims one; the OpenAPI document does not), so this returns whatever the API sends in one response.

Update a collection

collection-update

Set a collection's `externalId` and its group assignments. This is a PUT, not a PATCH, and the spec does not say omitted fields are preserved — send the full set of `groups` you want the collection to end up with. Collections cannot be created through the Public API (the spec has no POST), only updated and deleted.

List events

event-list

The organization's event log. Filter by date range (ISO 8601; `start` must be before `end`), acting user or related item/secret/project. Results come in pages (about 50) with a `continuationToken`; set `maxPages` above 1 to follow it. Events are the only list endpoint the OpenAPI document gives a continuation token.

Create a group

group-create

Create a group. Names are limited to 100 characters, `externalId` to 300.

Delete a group

group-delete

Delete a group. Its members stay in the organization. Empty 200 on success; 404 if unknown.

Get a group

group-get

Retrieve one group with its collection assignments. Member ids are a separate call (`group-member-ids-get`).

List groups

group-list

Every group in the organization with its collection assignments. No pagination parameter is documented for this endpoint.

Get a group's member IDs

group-member-ids-get

The organization-scoped member ids (`id`, not `userId`) of everyone in a group.

Set a group's members

group-member-ids-set

REPLACE the full membership of a group with the given member ids. Anyone not listed is removed from the group. Empty 200 on success.

Update a group

group-update

Replace a group's name, `externalId` and collection assignments. A PUT: the spec documents no partial update, so send the complete `collections` list you want kept.

Invite a member

member-create

Invite someone to the organization by email, as Owner (0), Admin (1), User (2) or Custom (4 — then set `permissions`). There is no type 3. The member starts as Invited and must accept and be confirmed before they have access.

Get a member

member-get

Retrieve one member. `id` is organization-scoped; `userId` is the person's account-wide id.

Get a member's group IDs

member-group-ids-get

The ids of the groups a member belongs to.

Set a member's groups

member-group-ids-set

REPLACE the full set of groups a member belongs to. Groups not listed are left. Empty 200 on success.

List members

member-list

Every member of the organization with role, status and collection access. Includes invited, revoked and staged members — check `statusName`. No pagination parameter is documented.

Re-send an invitation

member-reinvite

Send a pending member their invitation email again. Fails with 400 if the member is not in the Invited state. Sends an email each call.

Remove a member

member-remove

Remove a member from the organization (their account is untouched). Different from revoke: a removed member must be re-invited, a revoked one can be restored. Empty 200 on success.

Restore a member

member-restore

Restore a revoked member's access. 400 if the member is not revoked.

Revoke a member's access

member-revoke

Suspend a member's access to the organization without removing them; reverse with `member-restore`. 400 if the member is already revoked or is an owner you cannot revoke.

Update a member

member-update

Change a member's role, `externalId`, permissions, collection access or group membership. A PUT with `type` required; the spec does not say omitted `collections`/`groups` are preserved, so send the complete sets you want kept.

Import members and groups

organization-import

Bulk-provision members and groups from an external directory. `overwriteExisting` is required: when true the request replaces the organization's existing data rather than appending, so a partial list can remove people — default is false. Each member needs `externalId`; `email` is required unless `deleted` is true. Set `largeImport` for more than 2000 users/groups.

Get a policy

policy-get

One policy by its numeric type. `data` is a free-form object whose shape depends on the type.

List policies

policy-list

Every policy type with whether it is enabled and its per-type `data`. Names are added as `typeName`.

Update a policy

policy-update

Enable or disable a policy and set its per-type `data`. `enabled` is required. `data` is free-form and its shape depends on the type (for example MasterPassword takes minimum complexity and length).

Get the subscription

subscription-get

Seat, storage and autoscale limits for Password Manager and Secrets Manager. Any field may be null (not applicable to the plan).

Update the subscription

subscription-update

Change seat counts, storage and autoscale ceilings. THIS CHANGES BILLING. Only the fields you set are sent, but whether Bitwarden treats an omitted field as unchanged or as cleared is not documented — set every value you care about.

A workflow step names the app and the action, and the editor fills in the connection when you pick one. This is the Step shape from the workflow spec, carrying Bitwarden's real ids.

Every app-specific value here is a blank you have to fill in. An app action is reached through the connection that authenticates it, so the address is a connection id, not the app id — and connections belong to your account, so a public page cannot know yours. Create one for Bitwarden, then fill in the three blanks: conn_YOUR_CONNECTION_ID, the action key, and the parameters that action declares. The call itself is real — the shape is transcribed from the studio's own snippet builder, which prints the same kind of blanks — but nothing in it is specific to Bitwarden. The Workflow tab is where this app's real ids are.

Give an AI agent Bitwarden — without giving it Bitwarden's credentials. One MCP endpoint exposes every app, function and workflow the caller is entitled to, as tools it can discover and run. Access is granted per team while we onboard.

One tool call
{
  "name": "w6w_invoke",
  "arguments": {
    "ref": "app:io.w6w.bitwarden#collection-get",
    "input": {
      "collectionId": "<collectionId>"
    }
  }
}

Every tool names its target with a single ref. The app: form above doesn't name a connection at all — the host resolves which of the caller's Bitwarden connections to sign with, and refuses rather than guesses when the answer is ambiguous.

What the agent gets

Credentials it can't read

The token is attached host-side, at the moment of the call. It is never a tool argument, never in the model's context, and never in a transcript — so a prompt injection has nothing to exfiltrate.

A tool surface scoped to the caller

Tools are derived per end user from what that person has actually connected and is entitled to — not one shared bot identity carrying the union of everyone's access.

A durable workflow in one call

Multi-step work runs on the workflow engine and returns a run handle the agent can poll — retries, branching and state survive the conversation that started them.

Health-aware discovery

Bitwarden's declared health checks are on the surface too, so an agent can tell "the vendor is down" from "your credential expired" before it burns a retry on either.

The MCP surface is part of the hosted platform. Bitwarden itself is MIT, and the runtime that executes it is source-available (FSL).

Request MCP access

Health checks

Bitwarden declares its own checks, so its health is a property of the app rather than something the host guesses at.
