OpenWork is an open-source desktop application and ecosystem designed to facilitate the sharing and synchronization of AI workflows, skills, and Model Context Protocol (MCP) connections across different agents such as Claude Code, Cursor, and Codex. By integrating an OpenWork MCP, users can unify disparate tools, plugins, and connected services—including Google Workspace and Microsoft 365—into a single reusable interface. The architecture supports a dual-licensing model: the core desktop app and platform are released under the MIT license, while "OpenWork Den," the enterprise control plane, operates under a source-available OpenWork EE License. OpenWork Den enables organizations to provision inference at scale, manage team access, and enforce desktop policies. Technically, the OpenWork MCP exposes four primary tools: search_capability, execute_capability, list_skills, and get_skill. For developers, the project utilizes a Node 24 and pnpm 11 stack, employing an Electron shell for the desktop UI and a React-based web interface. The platform is designed for high interoperability, allowing users to import Anthropic-compatible plugins and deploy them across multiple machines and teammates via a centralized management interface.
