How does openwork connect to an organization?

Through one OAuth MCP URL. You add that URL to your agent's MCP configuration and complete the OAuth sign-in.

Do I need an OpenWork organization?

Yes. openwork exposes an OpenWork org's shared skills, plugins, workflows, and connections, so you need an org and its OAuth MCP URL.

MCP serverSecurity

openwork is an MCP server that connects your agent to an organization's shared skills, workflows, and connected apps. It gives your OpenWork org's skills, plugins, workflows, and connections through one OAuth MCP URL. You add the URL once and the agent can use what the organization has set up.

Getting started

Have an OpenWork organization account and the OAuth MCP URL for it.
Add the OAuth MCP URL as an MCP server in your agent's configuration.
Complete the OAuth sign-in when the agent first connects.
Confirm the org's skills, plugins, workflows, and connections are available.

Install openwork

The server’s own address, for the clients that take one directly. Or connect ahel once and every client you use reads it from one address, with the account kept on ahel rather than in each client’s config.

Claude Code
claude mcp add --transport http --scope user openwork 'https://api.openworklabs.com/mcp/agent'
Run it once in your project, then open /mcp to approve any sign-in the server asks for.
Claude Desktop
https://api.openworklabs.com/mcp/agent
Add a custom connector in Settings, paste this address, and approve the sign-in.
Cursor

Open the link and Cursor adds the server at that address.
ChatGPT
https://api.openworklabs.com/mcp/agent
In Settings, enable Developer mode, create an MCP app, and paste this address. Your plan and workspace must allow custom apps.
Codex
codex mcp add openwork --url 'https://api.openworklabs.com/mcp/agent'
Run it once, then sign in with codex mcp login openwork if the server asks for an account.

From the project's README

As published by different-ai/openwork in README.md. This repository publishes several servers, so only the opening is shown here.

OpenWork is the free, open-source alternative to Claude Cowork and Codex: a desktop app for macOS, Windows, and Linux where AI agents do real work on your own files. It is built on OpenCode, works with any model — 50+ providers, your own API keys, or local models via Ollama — and lets teams share skills and MCP servers.

Add one OpenWork MCP to Codex, Claude Code, Cursor, or another compatible agent and reuse the same skills, MCPs, and connected services across your tools, teammates, and machines. Create something once, share it with coworkers or friends, or keep it for yourself.
