Workspace owners and admins only. ## OpenAPI ````yaml /openapi.json get /v1/mcp-connections/{connectionId} openapi: 3.1.0 info: title: Den API description: >- OpenAPI spec for the Den control plane API. Authentication: - Use `Authorization: Bearer ` for user-authenticated routes that require a Den session. - Use `x-api-key: ` for organization API-key calls. API keys resolve to the issuing user and the organization member they were scoped to when created, so they can call ordinary user and organization routes without a separate signed-in session. Example: `curl https://api.openworklabs.com/v1/me -H "x-api-key: den_..."`. - Session-only flows still require a signed-in user session, including organization creation, invitation acceptance, active-organization switching, and MCP token minting. - Public routes like health and documentation do not require authentication. Swagger tip: use the security schemes in the Authorize dialog to set either `bearerAuth` or `denApiKey` before trying protected endpoints. version: dev servers: - url: http://api.den.local security: [] tags: - name: System description: Service health and operational routes. - name: Organizations description: Top-level organization creation and context routes. - name: Invitations description: Invitation preview, acceptance, creation, and cancellation routes. - name: API Keys description: Organization API key management routes. - name: SCIM description: Organization SCIM connector management routes. - name: SSO description: Organization single sign-on connector management routes. - name: Members description: Organization member management routes. - name: Roles description: Organization custom role management routes. - name: Teams description: Organization team management routes. - name: Templates description: Organization shared template routes. - name: LLM Providers description: Organization LLM provider catalog, configuration, and access routes. - name: Workers description: Worker lifecycle, billing, and runtime routes. - name: Worker Runtime description: Worker runtime inspection and upgrade routes. - name: Worker Activity description: Worker heartbeat and activity reporting routes. - name: Telemetry description: Telemetry event ingestion and adoption analytics. - name: Admin description: Administrative reporting routes. - name: Users description: Current user and membership routes. - name: Bootstrap description: Agent-first provisional workspace setup routes. paths: /v1/mcp-connections/{connectionId}: get: tags: - Capability Sources summary: Get an External MCP Connection description: >- Returns one manageable connection with its access summary.
