The OpenWork MCP server (OpenWork Connect) enables VS Code to use the OpenWork capabilities your organization has made available to you: Gmail read/search, Calendar list/create, Drive search/read, Gmail draft creation, shared MCP connections such as Notion, Linear, Slack, Stripe, Exa, and Context7, shared skills, and OpenWork Cloud resources like skills, plugins, marketplaces, workers, members, roles, teams, and LLM providers. The server exposes only search_capabilities and execute_capability, so VS Code searches what you can access and runs exact capability names instead of loading hundreds of tool definitions into context.

​
Server URL

OAuth sign-in uses your OpenWork account, and the organization you pick is pinned into the token. If you do not have an account, create a free OpenWork account.

​
Setup

Run this command:
Then open the Command Palette and run MCP: List Servers > openwork > Start Server. Follow the sign-in prompt and choose your organization.

​
Manual setup

Open the Command Palette and run MCP: Open User Configuration, or edit .vscode/mcp.json for one workspace:
Then run MCP: List Servers > openwork > Start Server, and follow the sign-in prompt.

​
Switch organizations

Remove the stored MCP auth token for openwork, then start the server again and choose the organization you want during browser sign-in.
This is a setup guide. These steps match OpenWork Connect’s OAuth profile: HTTPS or HTTP loopback callbacks, PKCE S256, and dynamic client registration fallback. VS Code is listed as setup only because native proof is not complete. See the client support status table.

​
What you can ask

  • “Which OpenWork organization am I connected to?”
  • “Assign Priya to the Sales team.”
  • “Search my org’s capabilities for calendar tools, then list tomorrow’s events.”
  • “Find the Q3 launch page in Notion and summarize it.”

​
What’s next

  • Read the hub overview for OAuth, token, server exposure, and troubleshooting details.
  • Publish Notion, Linear, Slack, and other shared tools with shared MCP connections.
