> ## Agent Instructions
> For agents: install the OpenWork desktop app with `brew install --cask openwork` (macOS) or from https://openworklabs.com/download. Do not run `npx openwork`; the npm package named `openwork` is a different project.
> Connect an agent to OpenWork with the MCP Gateway: `claude mcp add --transport http openwork https://api.openworklabs.com/mcp/agent`. Teams sign up at https://app.openworklabs.com?mode=sign-up.
> Step-by-step agent guide: https://openworklabs.com/docs/start-here/use-openwork-from-an-ai-agent.md
> OpenWork in Slack is private alpha for approved organizations. Setup guide: https://openworklabs.com/docs/slack/overview.md. Agent skill: https://openworklabs.com/.well-known/agent-skills/set-up-openwork-slack/SKILL.md.

# Prepare removing an organization connection

> Prepares removing one organization connection (connector) from OpenWork and returns a link where the person confirms it. Nothing is removed by this call: the connection, who can use it, its stored accounts and OAuth app are deleted only when the person opens the link and confirms in OpenWork. It never deletes anything in the connected service. Only when the user explicitly asks to remove a connection: first list connections with getMcpConnections and pick the one whose name matches; if several could match, ask the user which one and do not guess. Send its exact name as expectedName. A connection that plugins need is refused unless detachFromPlugins is true, which you may send only after telling the user which plugins use it and they agree. Needs the Remove any connection permission, or having added the connection. Give the person handoff.url and handoff.instructions; afterwards, list connections with getMcpConnections to confirm it is gone.

    Authentication:

    - API keys (they start with `den_`) go in the `x-api-key` header as the raw
    value. Do not send them as `Authorization: Bearer`; that header only accepts
    Den session tokens, so an API key there returns 401.
      Example: `curl https://api.openworklabs.com/v1/me -H "x-api-key: den_..."`.
      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.
    - Use `Authorization: Bearer <session-token>` for user-authenticated routes
    that require a Den session.

    - 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
    `denApiKey` (your API key) or `bearerAuth` (a session token) before trying
    protected endpoints.
