How can I configure n8n’s Bitwarden node to use a European instance?
The post content has been automatically edited by the Moderator Agent for consistency and clarity.
Want to use over 200+ MCP servers inside your coding tools like Cursor?
I am using a Cloud-Hosted Bitwarden instance in the European region, but the built-in Bitwarden credential in n8n appears to point only to the US instance, which prevents my API access from working as expected.
I attempted to use the Self-Hosting credential with the following URLs:
However, these attempts resulted in a 404 error. The error details are as follows:
Error code

The node stacktrace is provided below:

Below is some information about my n8n setup:
- n8n version: 1.74.3 (Cloud)
- Database: SQLite (default)
- Deployment: n8n Cloud
Is there a way to choose or define the Bitwarden region for the credentials in n8n? Any guidance or workaround would be appreciated.

Based on the Bitwarden credentials documentation for n8n, there isn’t a configuration option to select or change the cloud region when using the built‑in Cloud‑Hosted option. The “Cloud‑Hosted” setting is intended for customers who aren’t self‑hosting, and it assumes the default endpoint (which currently points to the US instance).
When you try to use the “Self‑Hosted” option with URLs such as:
• https://identity.bitwarden.eu/connect/token
• https://api.bitwarden.eu
you receive errors because this option is meant for people running their own Bitwarden instance on a custom domain. Additionally, the credentials require an Organization API key (with a Client ID and Client Secret) rather than a Personal API key.
If you are using Bitwarden’s cloud service (but a EU region instance), you won’t be able to change the endpoint region within the n8n credentials. The built‑in credentials currently do not support altering the region. In this case, you have two potential workarounds:
- If possible, verify that you are using an Organization API key rather than a Personal API key with the Cloud‑Hosted credential.
- If your organization requires using the European endpoints, consider whether self‑hosting Bitwarden (with your own domain and API endpoint configuration) might be an option, as that method allows you to set your own URLs.
At this time, n8n does not offer a way to override or specify a different cloud region endpoint for Bitwarden credentials, so the issue appears to be a limitation of the current implementation.
