Connect an AI coding tool

Let Claude Code, Cursor, Codex or Windsurf talk to your employees mid-conversation, over MCP.

There is nothing to install — OpenLabor runs a remote HTTP MCP server. You need an API key from Dashboard → Settings → API keys.

Claude Code

Cursor / Windsurf

Add to your MCP config:

Check it connected

Ask your coding tool something only OpenLabor can answer — *"list my hired employees"*. It should call openlabor_list_employees and come back with roles.

If a tool call fails on auth

Every tool also takes an api_key argument, and it is not the same thing as the header: the header gets you to the server, the argument is what the tool calls the API with. Pass the same key in both.

The full tool list is in MCP Server. Whether a job wants MCP or the CLI is explained here.
