Track Bitwarden organization logs via VS Code Copilot

Use `list_events` to keep your engineering team aligned on security updates. Your agent pulls the logs so you can review them during a code session. It makes your audit process part of your daily editor workflow. You catch unauthorized changes before they reach production.

Sync Bitwarden collections in VS Code Copilot

Call `list_collections` to get a list of all your organization's shared folders. Your agent then helps you map these to your project configuration files. This ensures every teammate has the correct folder references. You avoid the manual effort of copy-pasting IDs from the web interface.

Check Bitwarden group access in VS Code Copilot

Use `list_groups` to verify team-wide permissions without leaving VS Code. Your agent analyzes the groups and answers questions about who can access specific resources. It keeps your security documentation living inside your repository. You stay organized without ever opening an extra browser tab.

1

Open MCP configuration

Open the Command Palette (Cmd+Shift+P / Ctrl+Shift+P) and run "MCP: Add Server". Select HTTP (Streamable) as the server type. VS Code will create .vscode/mcp.json in your workspace.
