Works with 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 7 powerful capabilities that interface natively with Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor, and other compatible AI platforms. No middleware. No custom integration required.
The Dashboard Click-Through Nightmare
Today, managing a workshop roster means logging into the platform, finding the correct workspace ID from one tab, copying it to a second window just to check settings, then going back to a third tab to find the participant list. You end up clicking through five different pages and copy-pasting data three times before you even start.
With this MCP, that process disappears entirely. Your agent takes over the navigation. You simply tell it: 'I need to see every workshop ID and check who's in the biggest one.' It handles the multi-step retrieval—like using `list_workspaces` followed by `list_participants`—and gives you a clean, actionable summary.
Adding Participants with `add_participant`
The old way meant gathering emails into a spreadsheet and then manually initiating an invite for each person inside the platform's UI. If you had 50 people, that was 50 separate clicks just to get them in the door.
Now, your agent handles it. You tell the MCP, 'Add these ten people.' It executes `add_participant` using a single prompt, sends out all the necessary invitations, and confirms they're added—all without you ever leaving your chat window.
What your AI can actually do with this
Need to run a workshop or training session but hate clicking through dashboards? This MCP handles the heavy lifting for collaborative learning environments. Think of it as having your entire L&D platform right inside your chat window. You can manage structures, like listing all existing workspaces, and populate them with people using just text commands.
It's perfect for HR teams running onboarding or change management consultants handling large-scale rollouts. Instead of jumping to a web portal and manually adding 20 emails one by one, you simply tell your agent what needs doing. The Vinkius catalog makes connecting this functionality simple: connect it once from any compatible AI client, and the power is yours.
It cuts down days of administrative clicking into a few conversational steps.

Here's how it actually works
The bottom line is that your AI client becomes an interface to complex workshop management systems without needing any specialized knowledge of the underlying API.
First, subscribe to this MCP in Vinkius. You'll need to provide your specific Howspace Base URL and API Key.
Next, connect the credentials to your preferred AI client—your agent handles the rest of the connection setup.
Then, simply ask your agent what you want to do: 'Create a new workspace called X' or 'List all participants in Y'.
Who is this actually for?
This is for anyone whose job involves running structured group sessions or managing employee training at scale. If you spend more time clicking through administrative dashboards than actually facilitating, this MCP saves your day.
You use it to set up new onboarding workspaces for hires and then bulk-add participants by email without leaving your planning tool.
You manage stakeholder engagement by listing all active campaigns and ensuring every required workshop is configured correctly across the board.
You run spontaneous brainstorming sessions. You use it to create a temporary workspace on demand and add participants right away so you can start working instantly.
What Changes When You Connect
Stop clicking through dashboards. You can use list_workspaces to see every environment you own, then tell your agent which one needs work next.
Bulk-add members instantly. Instead of copy/pasting emails into a web form, just ask the MCP to execute add_participant for a list of people.
Track engagement easily. Use list_campaigns to see every communication campaign running—from welcome messages to weekly check-ins.
Know your users at a glance. By calling list_participants, you get a clean roster of who is actually in the workshop, saving you from manual counting.
Get context fast. The get_workspace tool lets you pull specific details on an environment's settings so you don't have to guess what it's for.
See it in action
Onboarding a new class of hires
An HR manager needs to set up 'New Hire Training 2025' and enroll fifty people. Instead of logging into the system, creating the workspace, and then running through five separate screens to add everyone, they just prompt their agent: 'Create a new workspace called New Hire Training 2025 and add all emails in this file.' The MCP handles the whole sequence.
Auditing stale workshops
A facilitator needs to know which of their twelve past projects are still active or abandoned. They use list_workspaces to get a full inventory, then uses get_workspace on suspicious entries to check the last activity date and participant count.
Preparing for an executive review
A change management consultant must prove that all stakeholder groups have been reached. They use list_campaigns to confirm four separate communication tracks are live, then verify the total reach by running list_participants on key workspaces.
Troubleshooting access issues
A user can't seem to find a specific workshop. They first check their own details using get_me, and then ask the agent to run list_workspaces. The list immediately points them to the correct ID and name.
The honest tradeoffs
Trying to guess which tool is right
The user attempts to add a participant by simply asking, 'Add people.' This vague request leads to an error because the MCP needs to know which workspace ID you're talking about.
Always specify the context. First, use list_workspaces to identify the correct workshop name or ID. Then, issue a precise command like: 'Using the workspace with ID ws_4521, add participant [email@example.com]'.
Overloading one tool
The user tries to list all participants and also change the workshop settings in a single prompt. While possible, it's messy and hard for the agent to execute reliably.
Break tasks into discrete steps. Run list_participants first to get the roster. Then, if you need to make changes, use the dedicated get_workspace tool or another specific action.
Ignoring user context
A new user tries to manage campaigns without knowing their own role or organizational scope.
Start by running get_me. This establishes your identity and permissions, ensuring that subsequent calls like list_campaigns are scoped correctly to your account.
When It Fits, When It Doesn't
Use this MCP if managing structured groups or workshops is a core part of your job—especially in HR, L&D, or consulting. It’s built for orchestration: the goal isn't just reading data; it's performing complex actions like creating and populating environments from conversational prompts.
Don't use this if you only need to read static information (like pulling a single record by ID). In that case, a simple database query tool might be better. Also, don't use it if your primary need is sending mass emails without tracking engagement; for pure email marketing, look at dedicated communication tools instead of relying on the campaign listing capability.
Questions you might have
How do I find out what workshops I have with the Howspace MCP? +
You use list_workspaces to get a complete list. This tool shows every workspace ID and name associated with your account, giving you a full inventory right away.
Can I add participants without knowing their names first? Using the add_participant tool? +
Yes. You only need to provide the email address when using add_participant. The optional name field helps, but the email is what does the heavy lifting.
What if I want to see who was added recently? Do I use list_participants? +
Yes, you use list_participants for that. This tool pulls a roster of all members in a specific workspace, letting you review recent additions and current roles.
How does the Howspace MCP help with tracking communication? Should I check list_campaigns? +
You use list_campaigns to see what engagement efforts are running. This is your central point for viewing all configured welcome, reminder, or pulse surveys.
If I want to create a new collaboration space, what parameters do I need for the `create_workspace` tool? +
You only need to specify the desired name and details for the workspace. After running create_workspace, you'll immediately get confirmation of the new ID. This is handy because it means your AI agent can then proceed directly with sending invitations or configuring content, all in one go.
What information does the `get_workspace` tool return about a specific space? +
It pulls detailed status and settings for that single workspace. This allows your agent to confirm if the space is active, check its current configuration, or verify its membership limits before you try making changes.
How do I use `get_me` if I need to confirm my access level or user details? +
Running get_me retrieves the authenticated account's core profile information, like your name, role, and organization. Use this first to verify you have the proper permissions needed for large-scale actions, such as adding participants.
If I need a complete overview of my entire Howspace account, what combination of tools should I use? +
Start by calling list_workspaces to see every project ID you manage. Then, if you want details on any specific space, follow up with get_workspace. This workflow lets your agent map out your whole setup before making any changes.
Can I create a workspace and add participants through the AI agent? +
Yes. Use create_workspace with a name to create a new collaborative workspace. Then use add_participant with the workspace ID, participant email, and optional first/last name to invite members. Use list_workspaces to see all existing workspaces and list_participants to review who is already in a workspace.
Does Howspace require a custom Base URL in addition to the API Key? +
Yes. Howspace instances are hosted on custom subdomains, so you need to provide your Base URL (e.g., https://your-org.howspace.com) along with the API Key. The API Key is sent as a Bearer token, and all requests are routed to your specific Howspace instance.
Can I view all campaigns running in my Howspace account? +
Yes. The list_campaigns tool retrieves all campaigns configured in your account, including engagement campaigns, communication sequences, and notification triggers. Use get_me to verify your authenticated identity and permissions.
