What is the Rework MCP server?

Most planning and project tracking work still happens through a UI a human drives. Rework MCP server moves it into the conversation instead. Rework MCP Server - Integrate rework tasks with AI through Model Context Protocol.

The short version

A Model Context Protocol (MCP) server for integrating Rework platform with AI applications. This server allows AI agents to interact with Rework projects, tasks, workflows, and jobs through a standardized protocol.

The tools it exposes

The server publishes 10 tools. What each one is for:

  • create_task — Create a task in a project
  • get_tasks — Get tasks from a board
  • get_detail_task — Get detailed information about a task
  • get_projects — Get all projects and boards
  • create_job — Create a job in a workflow
  • get_jobs — Get jobs from a workflow
  • get_detail_job — Get detailed information about a job
  • get_workflows — Get all available workflows
  • find_users — Find users by name or email
  • list_all_users — Get all workspace members

What it needs from you

Configuration is passed through the environment: REWORK_PROJECT_ACCESS_TOKEN, REWORK_PROJECT_PASSWORD, REWORK_WORKFLOW_ACCESS_TOKEN, REWORK_WORKFLOW_PASSWORD, REWORK_ACCOUNT_ACCESS_TOKEN, REWORK_ACCOUNT_PASSWORD, ENABLE_SSE, PORT. Treat anything key-shaped as a real credential — scope it to the minimum the server needs, and rotate it if it ever lands in a shared config.

Getting it running

Setup follows the usual MCP pattern — install or clone the server, register it in your client's configuration file, restart the client. The configuration blocks on this page cover the common clients.

How it compares

This sits in the planning and project tracking group, where several servers overlap in what they claim to do but differ sharply once you actually set them up. Rework's toolset — create_task, get_tasks, get_detail_task and 7 more — is a fair guide to whether it matches your workflow. It is maintained by rework-com; worth a glance at recent repository activity before you build anything load-bearing on it.

We check each listing at SyncDev against the project's documentation before it goes live — if something here drifts out of date, it is a bug worth reporting.

Things to watch

  • It runs with your machine's permissions. That is convenient and also the reason to think about what you point it at before you approve a tool call.
  • With 10 tools registered it takes up a noticeable share of the context window; turn it off in projects that never touch Rework.
  • Missing credentials fail quietly in some clients — if no tools show up, check the environment block first.
  • Keep per-call confirmation enabled while you learn its behaviour; it is the cheapest safeguard you have.

Frequently asked questions

It connects Rework to MCP-compatible AI assistants such as Claude and Cursor, exposing 10 tools (create_task, get_tasks, get_detail_task, and more) that the assistant can call on your behalf. Instead of copying data back and forth by hand, the assistant works with Rework directly.
