Built on the Model Context Protocol (MCP) for Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor, and more
The Model Context Protocol standardizes how applications expose capabilities to LLMs. Instead of operating in isolation, your AI gains direct access to external platforms, live data, and real-world actions through secure, standardized connections.
This connection provides 12 powerful capabilities that interface natively with Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor, and other compatible AI platforms. No middleware. No custom integration required.
Manually tracking projects means copy/pasting statuses all day., Solved with Vinkius AI Gateway
Today, if a team member asks for a status update on Project Phoenix, you have to jump into the main work board, filter by 'Phoenix', scroll through dozens of cards, and manually check the due dates. Then you copy that info into your Jira ticket, then you paste it into an email summary. It's click-by-click manual labor.
With this MCP, you just ask your agent: 'What is the status for Project Phoenix?' The agent handles calling the necessary tools like `list_tasks` and summarizing the output immediately. You get a clean, actionable list of only what needs attention—no more clicking, no more pasting.
The Workast MCP provides full control over your task lifecycle.
Manual processes force you to treat spaces and tasks as separate things. You might forget that changing a user's profile via `get_user` could affect their ability to receive new assignments, or that creating a task without first checking the space details is pointless.
Now, your agent manages this entire flow for you. It knows how to coordinate resources by reading team data and updating tasks seamlessly, ensuring every action taken—from calling `create_space` to running `update_task`—is consistent with Workast's rules.
What your AI can actually do with this
You can use this connector to run complex workflows across your organization's entire project structure. Instead of jumping between Workast, email, and your task tracker, you tell your agent what needs doing—like 'Update all Q3 marketing tasks for Design Team'—and it handles the whole sequence. You can organize work by creating new spaces or managing existing ones; assign tasks, update due dates, and even delete old records programmatically.
Furthermore, you can look up team member details using get_user and check who is assigned what via list_users. This means your agent doesn't just pull data; it acts on it. Because the workast platform handles all infrastructure and updates, and Vinkius manages the execution through a zero-trust proxy, your credentials are used only in transit and never stored on disk.
The real value comes when you chain this MCP with other tools—like connecting project task status to a billing system—allowing one AI agent to automate processes that normally span multiple platforms.

Here's how it actually works
The bottom line is that your AI client manages the connection and talks to Workast on your behalf, so you don't have to touch the platform directly.
First, connect Workast to your AI client and provide an API token from your Workast settings.
Next, tell your agent exactly what you need; for example, 'List all spaces that contain tasks due this week.'
Your agent executes the necessary calls—like list_spaces followed by list_tasks—and gives you a plain text summary of the status.
Who is this actually for?
Project Managers who are sick of status meetings where everyone just reads off a dashboard. Team Leads who need visibility into cross-departmental bottlenecks without manually checking five different dashboards. Agile Coaches who need to enforce task completion rules across the entire backlog.
Automating the creation and updating of project backlogs, ensuring every new space or task gets proper metadata.
Monitoring overall team progress across different spaces without having to click into each one individually.
Ensuring that user profiles and team assignments are accurate before any new feature development starts.
What Changes When You Connect
Stop manually updating status reports. You can use the update_task tool to change due dates or assignees across multiple tasks at once, just by asking your agent.
Never lose track of a project's scope again. The list_spaces capability lets you see every active environment, so you know exactly where the work is happening.
Know who owns what instantly. By combining get_user and list_users, your agent can build out full team dependency maps for any given project space.
Maintain clean data hygiene. You can use delete_task to remove stale, completed items from the backlog, keeping your active task lists accurate and short.
Keep everything current using get_account_profile. Your agent always checks your core organizational metadata before making changes, preventing outdated work.
See it in action
The Onboarding Bottleneck
A new team member needs to be added to three active projects. Instead of manually calling the PM and updating tasks in multiple places, you tell your agent to use list_users first, then run a sequence that calls create_space for the needed areas and assigns them using update_task.
The End-of-Quarter Audit
You need a report on all tasks in the 'Marketing Q4' space that were assigned to someone who left last month. Your agent can use list_tasks combined with get_user to filter out inactive accounts, giving you a clean list for HR.
The Scope Creep Cleanup
A project space has grown messy with old tasks nobody needs. You ask the agent to inspect the 'Design Team' space using get_space, and it recommends deleting unnecessary items via delete_task.
The Status Check
You need a quick overview of all ongoing work for a client. You ask your agent to use list_spaces followed by get_task on the top five spaces, giving you instant status reports without clicking anything.
The honest tradeoffs
Treating tasks in isolation
Only calling get_task to view a single task means you miss knowing if that task is part of a larger, related project space.
Always start by listing the containers. Use list_spaces first. Then use get_space to get context, and finally check specific items with list_tasks. This builds full context.
Forgetting user permissions
Trying to assign a task to an account the team lead doesn't manage, resulting in a failed workflow.
Before assigning anything, run list_users and use get_user to verify the target person is active and has the correct role.
Running tasks without checking history
Using create_task when an existing task was just updated. You end up with two records, wasting time.
Always check first. Use get_task to see if the item exists and what its current status is before running any creation or update commands.
When It Fits, When It Doesn't
Use this MCP when your problem involves tracking project boundaries (Spaces) AND managing actionable items (Tasks). If you only need a simple directory of users, just use list_users. But if the process requires checking which spaces exist, and then updating tasks within those specific spaces, you need the full suite. Don't try to automate cross-platform communication or message sending; this is purely about project structure and task lifecycle management within Workast boundaries.
Questions you might have
How do I list all my project spaces using the Workast MCP? +
You run a simple request for list_spaces. This tool gives you an immediate directory of every active project environment in your account, letting you see what’s available to work with.
Can I update tasks across different projects? (Workast MCP) +
Yes, if you know the task ID and space ID. You use update_task after first getting the context by calling get_space. This keeps your changes scoped correctly.
What is the best way to check a user's info? (Workast MCP) +
Use get_user for specific details on one person, or use list_users if you need a full roster of who is available in your team.
How do I check tasks in a specific area using the list_tasks tool? +
It retrieves all items within a defined space. You need to provide the Space ID and optionally date parameters, which ensures you only get relevant pending work.
What is the difference between listing users with list_users and getting an individual user's details? +
The list_users tool pulls a complete roster of team members. Use this when you need to review group composition or perform bulk actions, not just single profiles.
What specific metadata can I get using the get_space tool? +
This tool provides comprehensive data about an entire work area. You'll find details like its owner, creation date, and current total member count.
How do I remove a task that was accidentally created using delete_task? +
You must supply the full Task ID along with the Space ID to confirm deletion. The system handles errors if the specified item doesn't exist in the space.
What data points are included when I use get_account_profile? +
It fetches your core account information, including your registered email and name. This is useful for syncing user identity into external reports or logs.
How do I generate a Workast API Token? +
Log in to Workast, go to your profile icon, select Preferences > API, and click 'Generate new token' to create your unique access credential.
What is a 'Space' in Workast? +
A Space is a container for your task lists. It is typically used to organize different projects, client work, or team-specific channels within your workspace.
