The OpenWork MCP server ([OpenWork Connect](/cloud/run-in-the-cloud/cloud-mcp))
enables Cursor to use the OpenWork capabilities your
organization has made available to you: Gmail read/search, Calendar list/create,
Drive search/read, Gmail draft creation, shared MCP connections such as Notion,
Linear, Slack, Stripe, Exa, and Context7, shared skills, and OpenWork Cloud
resources like skills, plugins, marketplaces, workers, members, roles, teams,
and LLM providers. The server exposes only `search_capabilities` and
`execute_capability`, so Cursor searches what you can access and runs exact
capability names instead of loading hundreds of tool definitions into context.

## Server URL

```text
https://api.openworklabs.com/mcp/agent
```

OAuth sign-in uses your OpenWork account, and the organization you pick is
pinned into the token. If you do not have an account, create a
[free OpenWork account](https://app.openworklabs.com?mode=sign-up).

## Cursor Desktop

Add OpenWork as a remote MCP server in Cursor's MCP settings, paste the server
URL, and start OAuth from Cursor's connection prompt. Sign in to OpenWork and
pick the organization Cursor should use.

Cursor Desktop's OAuth callback is the private-use URI
`cursor://anysphere.cursor-mcp/oauth/callback`. OpenWork accepts exactly this
callback through an allowlist and enforces PKCE S256 for the client, so an
intercepted authorization code cannot be redeemed without the code verifier.
Other private-use callback schemes remain rejected: OpenWork otherwise accepts
HTTPS callbacks or HTTP loopback callbacks only.

## Cursor Web and Cursor Agents

Use Cursor Web or Cursor Agents where they ask for a remote MCP server URL.
Paste the server URL, start OAuth from Cursor's connection prompt, sign in to
OpenWork, and pick the organization Cursor should use.

Cursor Web and Cursor Agents use HTTPS OAuth callbacks, which OpenWork
accepts.

## Switch organizations

Remove the stored MCP auth token for `openwork`, then connect again and choose
the organization you want during browser sign-in.

<Note>
This is a setup guide for Cursor Desktop, Cursor Web, and Cursor Agents. These
steps match OpenWork Connect's OAuth profile: HTTPS or HTTP loopback callbacks
plus Cursor Desktop's allowlisted private-use callback, PKCE S256, and dynamic
client registration fallback. Cursor is listed as setup only because native
proof is not complete. See the
[client support status](/cloud/run-in-the-cloud/cloud-mcp#client-support-status)
table.

## What you can ask

- "Which OpenWork organization am I connected to?"
- "Add omar@example.com to my organization."
- "Search my org's capabilities for calendar tools, then list tomorrow's events."
- "Find the Q3 launch page in Notion and summarize it."

## What's next

- Read the [hub overview](/cloud/run-in-the-cloud/cloud-mcp) for OAuth, token,
  server exposure, and troubleshooting details.
- Publish Notion, Linear, Slack, and other shared tools with
  [shared MCP connections](/cloud/share-with-your-team/shared-mcp-connections).
