Kwork MCP Server

What this does

Kwork exposes a set of tools to Claude over the Model Context Protocol. After you add it to claude_desktop_config.json (snippet above) and restart Claude Desktop, those tools become callable inside any conversation.

Requirements

This server declares the following environment variables. Set only the ones the maker requires for your setup; this listing does not flag any of them as required:

KWORK_EXPECTED_USER_ID
KWORK_EXPECTED_USERNAME
KWORK_WRITES
KWORK_SITE
KWORK_TIMEOUT
KWORK_STATE_DIR
KWORK_PERSIST_TOKEN
KWORK_RPS_LIMIT
KWORK_BURST_LIMIT
KWORK_ROUTE_RPS_LIMIT
KWORK_ROUTE_BURST_LIMIT
KWORK_RATE_WAIT_TIMEOUT
KWORK_AUTH_LOCK_TIMEOUT
KWORK_READ_ATTEMPTS
KWORK_RETRY_BACKOFF_BASE
KWORK_RETRY_BACKOFF_MAX
KWORK_CIRCUIT_FAILURE_THRESHOLD
KWORK_CIRCUIT_OPEN_SECONDS

KWORK_RECONCILIATION_ABSENCE_CONFIRMATIONS

Set these via the env object in your MCP config (see claude_desktop_config.json snippet above).

How do I install Kwork?

Run the Claude Code command in the install section to add Kwork to Claude Code, or copy the ready-made config for your client from the install section on this page. Restart your client afterwards and the tools appear in your next conversation.

Which clients work with Kwork?

This page carries setup and config for Claude Code, Claude Desktop, Cursor and VS Code. Any other MCP client that accepts a standard server config can connect to Kwork as well.

The server can use these environment variables: KWORK_EXPECTED_USER_ID, KWORK_EXPECTED_USERNAME, KWORK_WRITES, KWORK_SITE, KWORK_TIMEOUT, KWORK_STATE_DIR, KWORK_PERSIST_TOKEN, KWORK_RPS_LIMIT, KWORK_BURST_LIMIT, KWORK_ROUTE_RPS_LIMIT, KWORK_ROUTE_BURST_LIMIT, KWORK_RATE_WAIT_TIMEOUT, KWORK_AUTH_LOCK_TIMEOUT, KWORK_READ_ATTEMPTS, KWORK_RETRY_BACKOFF_BASE, KWORK_RETRY_BACKOFF_MAX, KWORK_CIRCUIT_FAILURE_THRESHOLD, KWORK_CIRCUIT_OPEN_SECONDS, KWORK_PREPARATION_TTL_SECONDS, KWORK_WRITE_LEASE_SECONDS, KWORK_RECONCILIATION_MIN_AGE_SECONDS, KWORK_RECONCILIATION_ABSENCE_CONFIRMATIONS, KWORK_RECONCILIATION_ABSENCE_INTERVAL_SECONDS, KWORK_STATE_RETENTION_DAYS, KWORK_LOG_LEVEL; the maker's docs say which of them your setup needs. They go in the env block of your MCP config.
