OpenWork

OpenWork is a free, open-source desktop app made for sharing AI workflows. It is an open-source alternative to Claude Cowork and Codex for macOS, Windows, and Linux.

Add one OpenWork MCP to Codex, Claude Code, Cursor, or another compatible agent and reuse the same skills, MCPs, and connected services across your tools, teammates, and machines. Create something once, share it with coworkers or friends, or keep it for yourself.

The desktop app is there when you want a dedicated workspace, but it is not required. You can use OpenWork from the agent you already have. For larger organizations, the admin interface lets you publish capabilities, manage access, and configure shared or per-user connections.

Use OpenWork from any agent

The OpenWork MCP brings your assigned skills, plugins, MCP connections, Google Workspace, and Microsoft 365 capabilities into any compatible agent.

It exposes two tools: search_capabilities finds what you can use, and execute_capability runs it. After adding the MCP, your client opens a browser so you can sign in and choose your OpenWork organization.

OpenWork Den

OpenWork Den is the control plane for managing OpenWork across a team or organization.

• Provision inference at scale and control which members and teams can use each model provider.
• Invite teammates, create teams, and manage access from one place.
• Set desktop policies, restrict local model access, and control which app versions your organization can use.
• Publish skills and plugins through marketplaces, then assign them to the organization, a team, or specific people.
• Import Anthropic-compatible plugins and make their supported skills and remote MCPs available through the OpenWork MCP.
