This is the official helper from Teamwork that lets your AI assistant talk to your Teamwork account. Once it is connected, you can ask your AI about your projects, tasks, tickets, and chats, and it will go and fetch the answers for you. It is handy if you live in Teamwork all day and want to stop clicking around to find things.

What is an MCP server? The 30-second version

On its own, your AI can only chat with you using what it already knows. An MCP server is a small helper program that gives your AI a new skill or a connection to an app. This one connects your AI to Teamwork, so it can look things up or make changes there when you ask. Think of it as giving your AI a login to your Teamwork site, but only for the things you allow.

What this MCP server does

You ask your AI a question in plain words, like what tasks are due this week. Your AI sends that request to this helper program. The helper talks to Teamwork using your Teamwork credentials and asks for the right information. Teamwork sends the answer back, and your AI shows it to you in the chat. If you allow changes, the helper can also create or update things in Teamwork for you.

Flow diagram: you ask your AI “What tasks are due for me this week?”, the Teamwork MCP server connects it to Teamwork, and you get back A short answer in your chat.

What it gives back to you

You get answers in the chat, usually as short lists or summaries. For example, a list of task names with due dates, or a summary of open tickets with who they are assigned to. If you asked it to create or update something, it tells you what it changed. It does not dump raw files on you; it just tells you what it found or did.

What you need
