How to Use the Workast MCP in Claude Code

Q: How do I check project availability using Workast and Claude Code?

You run listspaces from your terminal. The output gives you a comprehensive list of every active space ID, which you can immediately use in subsequent scripting steps.

Q: How do I list users for a batch job using Workast and Claude Code?

You run listusers. The output is raw JSON containing every user ID, which you can pipe to a filter or another processing tool in your shell script.

Q: Can I update task records from a CI/CD pipeline using Workast and Claude Code?

Yes. You can use updatetask within a scripted loop. For example, marking all tasks older than 30 days as 'archived' across multiple spaces.

Perplexity

Scheduled Task Audits

Schedule a daily job that verifies task status across your entire organization. You use `list_spaces` first, and then loop through every resulting space ID to call `list_tasks`. This creates an exhaustive report of all pending work. The output is pure JSON or CSV, perfect for piping into monitoring tools or feeding into a database record.

User Data Synchronization Checks

Run a pipeline job that checks if user accounts are up to date. It calls `get_user` and compares the returned data against expected schema fields. If any field is missing, it outputs an error code. This mechanism ensures your CI/CD process validates team structure before deploying code that relies on those users.

Project Space Provisioning

Automate the creation of new project containers. Your script simply calls `create_space` with required metadata (like owner and name). The command outputs a success confirmation, which you can use as an exit code for subsequent pipeline steps. This is ideal for onboarding automation—the moment a department spins up, the MCP Server handles the initial setup.
