Workast MCP

Organize work with your team and agents.

Ask Cursor, Claude, or ChatGPT for a task, a meeting follow-up, or a report. The work lands in the spaces your team already uses.

Add Workast

Add the server, then authorize when the client asks you to sign in to Workast.

The server is https://mcp.workast.com/mcp.

Cursor

Cursor asks you to add Workast, then asks you to sign in.

To add it yourself, put this in ~/.cursor/mcp.json for every project, or in .cursor/mcp.json for one repo:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "workast": {
      "url": "https://mcp.workast.com/mcp"
    }
  }
}

VS Code

VS Code asks you to sign in to Workast.

To add it yourself, put this in .vscode/mcp.json:

{
  "servers": {
    "workast": {
      "type": "http",
      "url": "https://mcp.workast.com/mcp"
    }
  }
}

Ask for work

After you authorize, paste a prompt.

Turn a plan into tasks

Read the launch plan in the Marketing space. Create the tasks on the Open list, and assign them the way that space's README says.

Pick up a task from a link or a short id

What's going on with TQ7ZK? If it's still open, comment that we're blocked on design.

Close the loop after a meeting

From this week's product meeting, comment on each task we discussed. Create anything we agreed to that is not already a task.

See the work on your plate

What is assigned to me this week? Use the saved report if there is one.

Write a space down

Draft a README for the Bugs space from how we already write those tasks. Show it to me before you save it.

Open a form

Create a draft form in the Support space for bug reports. Give me the link to publish it.

What you can ask for

• Tasks. Create, search, update, complete, comment, and split work into subtasks. Personal tasks too.

• Spaces. Find or create a space, set its lists, invite people, and update the README that says how work there is written.

• People. See who you are, find a teammate, and assign them.

• Notes and forms. Read and write notes. Create a draft form that turns responses into tasks. You publish the form.

• Meetings. List meetings in a date range and read one, including the transcript when you ask for it.

• Fields and reports. Use the custom fields a space already has. Open a saved report and the tasks in it.

How it stays accurate

This server includes a Workast skill. The client reads it and follows the product's rules.

Before it creates work in a space, it reads that space's README and uses the lists, fields, and format written there.

If the repo has a WORKAST.md file, that file names the space for the project.

It looks up spaces, people, and tasks. If a lookup finds nothing, it says so.

Headless access

Use a key when an agent cannot show a sign-in prompt. Log in to your Workast account and create a key for that agent. You stay logged in as yourself. The agent uses the key.

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "workast": {
      "url": "https://mcp.workast.com/mcp",
      "headers": {
        "Authorization": "Bearer YOUR_KEY"
      }
    }
  }
}

Replace YOUR_KEY with the key you created.
