> ## 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.

# Create a managed deployment

  title: Den API
  description: >-
    OpenAPI spec for the Den control plane API.


    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.
