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 savegeneratedsecret
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:
Tools
Security model
- Opt-in exposure: only items in mcp-exposed or mcp-agent-created are accessible; all other items return itemnotvisible
- Read-only existing items: no update, delete, or change_* tools exist
- Secret value delivery via Send only: listvaultitems and getvaultmetadata 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: savegeneratedsecret and saveloginitem are CREATE-only into the dedicated mcp-agent-created collection
Shortened. The full README is on GitHub.
