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 > Connect Slack (any organization admin): https://openworklabs.com/docs/slack/connect-slack.md. OpenWork in Slack (@openwork bot) 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. # Connectors > Let your team's AI read and act in the apps you already use. Add an app once in Manage › Connectors, choose how people sign in and who can use it. A connector is an app your organization's AI can use, such as Google Workspace, Microsoft 365, Slack, Notion, Linear, or GitHub. You add it once in OpenWork Cloud, choose how people sign in and who can use it, and it shows up in their Library. Members don't install anything. This page is the short version. For every step and setting, see [Sharing MCP connections with your team](https://openworklabs.com/docs/cloud/share-with-your-team/shared-mcp-connections.md). ## Where to find it In OpenWork Cloud, open **Manage › Connectors**. The list shows what needs attention first, then what's connected. Adding connectors and changing who can use them needs the **Manage connections** permission. Organization owners and admins have it by default. Members can still add some apps for themselves in **My Library**. ## Add a connector **1. Pick an app** Click **Add connector** (or **Add** once you have some) and pick an app from the list. For an app that isn't listed, paste its MCP address. **2. Let OpenWork check it** OpenWork makes sure it can reach the app, knows how you sign in, can sign in, and can see what the AI can do. Finish any check that asks for something, like a key or a sign-in. **3. Choose how people connect** Under **How people connect**, choose one of the options below. **4. Choose who can use it** Under **Who can use it**, turn on **Everyone in the organization**, or add people and teams. At first, only you can use it. **5. Add it** Click **Add** followed by the app's name. People you chose find it in their Library. Full walkthrough: [Add a connector](https://openworklabs.com/docs/cloud/share-with-your-team/shared-mcp-connections.md#add-a-connector). ## How people connect | Option | What happens | Good for | | - | - | - | | **Each person signs in** | Everyone uses their own account. The AI acts as that person, with their permissions. | Most apps: email, documents, issue trackers. | | **One account for everyone** | You sign in once. Everyone who can use the connector acts as that account. | A bot or service account. | | **Each person adds a key** | One connection; each person pastes their own API key. | Apps that use API keys instead of sign-in. | | **One key for everyone** | You add one API key that everyone uses. | A shared API account. | Apps that use sign-in offer the first two; apps that use API keys offer the last two. Some apps need no sign-in at all. With **Each person signs in** or **Each person adds a key**, each member connects their own account once. See [Connect your own account](https://openworklabs.com/docs/cloud/share-with-your-team/connect-your-own-account.md). ## Who can use it Open the connector from **Manage › Connectors**. Under **Who can use it**: * Turn on **Everyone in the organization**, or * Add people and teams. Changes apply right away, on every device. Removing someone's access, or removing the connector, takes it away from their AI immediately. ## Google Workspace and Microsoft 365 Both are in the **Add a connector** list: * **Google Workspace**: Gmail, Drive, Calendar, Sheets and Chat. It uses your organization's own Google Cloud OAuth client. See [Google Workspace](https://openworklabs.com/docs/start-here/connect-your-stack/connect-services.md#google-workspace). * **Microsoft 365**: Outlook, Calendar, OneDrive and Teams. An admin registers an app in Microsoft Entra once. See [Connect Microsoft 365](https://openworklabs.com/docs/cloud/share-with-your-team/microsoft-365.md). In both cases, each member then signs in with their own work account. ## Where connectors show up * **OpenWork desktop app**: in **Settings › Library**, under the **Connectors** filter. People who need to sign in see **Sign in**. * **OpenWork Cloud**: in **My Library** and on **Your Connections**. * **Claude, Cursor, and other MCP apps**: open the connector, expand **Use in another app** and click **Turn on**. People who can use it then copy its address and add it to their app, signing in with OpenWork. Your access rules still apply. See [Use a connector in other AI apps](https://openworklabs.com/docs/cloud/share-with-your-team/shared-mcp-connections.md#use-a-connector-in-other-ai-apps). Then people just ask their AI for something the app can do. It uses the connector with their account. ## Keep connectors healthy On a connector's page, the **⋯** menu has: * **Edit settings**: change its name, address, sign-in, or key. * **Test tools**: try its tools before members use them. See [Test tools](https://openworklabs.com/docs/cloud/share-with-your-team/shared-mcp-connections.md#test-tools). * **Sign everyone out**: each person signs in again. Its setup and who can use it stay the same. * **Remove**: nobody can use it anymore. ## Related * [Connect your own account](https://openworklabs.com/docs/cloud/share-with-your-team/connect-your-own-account.md) * [Sharing MCP connections with your team](https://openworklabs.com/docs/cloud/share-with-your-team/shared-mcp-connections.md) * [Connect Slack](https://openworklabs.com/docs/slack/connect-slack.md) * [Make your MCP server work with OpenWork](https://openworklabs.com/docs/cloud/share-with-your-team/mcp-server-compatibility.md) * [Plugins](https://openworklabs.com/docs/cloud/share-with-your-team/plugins.md): bundle a connector with the skills that use it This documentation is built and hosted on [Mintlify](https://mintlify.com), a developer documentation platform.
