Friends!
We promised to share new features, and today is one of those. You can now connect Worksection to an AI assistant: Claude, ChatGPT, Grok, or any other that supports MCP. After that, the assistant can see your projects and tasks and can work with them instead of you.
What is MCP in simple terms
MCP stands for Model Context Protocol. It is an open standard that describes how an AI assistant communicates with external services.
Imagine you hired a capable assistant. They understand perfectly what you want, but they don’t have the keys to the office. They can’t enter the room, open the cabinet with documents, or place a folder on a colleague’s desk.
MCP is that key. You give it to your assistant once, and then they can access your Worksection themselves: look at what’s there, create tasks, write comments, start a timer. Without copying text back and forth and without an open tab.
How it works
Previously, for the AI to learn something about your projects, you needed to copy a list of tasks into the chat. And for it to make any changes, you had to manually transfer its response into Worksection.
Now the assistant does this itself. You write in plain language: «What tasks are urgent for me this week?». The assistant queries the Worksection MCP server, which retrieves data from your account, and you get a response already in the chat.
It’s the same with changes. «Create a task for Olena: prepare a presentation by Friday» turns into a real task in your project, with an assignee and a deadline.
What the assistant can do
| Direction | Examples |
|---|---|
| View | projects, tasks, comments, files, activity over a period, team work schedule |
| Create and modify | tasks and subtasks, projects, comments with checklists, deadlines, assignees, priorities, tags |
| Time tracking | start and stop a timer, log time spent and expenses, view project budget |
| Team | project participants, groups, contacts, task subscriptions |
In total, this covers over 50 actions that encompass daily work in Worksection.
How to connect
The server address is the same for all clients: https://worksection.com/mcp
Below are examples of connections in Claude and ChatGPT. In Grok (on paid plans) and other clients that support MCP, the steps are the same: find the section with connectors, add the server by address, log into Worksection.
Claude
1 Settings → Connectors → «Add custom connector», paste the server address and click «Add».
2 Next to the new connector, click «Connect», a Worksection login window will open.
ChatGPT
Settings → Plugins → «+» → «Add custom MCP server»: name, server address, OAuth authentication, confirm the warning and click «Create as a plugin».
Confirmation. Worksection shows which account the assistant will access and with what permissions. Click «Allow».
Done. No API keys, tokens, or server settings. The entire connection takes about a minute.
What you can ask
A few queries to start with:
- «What do I have today in Worksection?»
- «Show me all overdue tasks in the project “Website” and who is responsible for them»
- «Create a task “Update price” in the project “Marketing”, assignee Andriy, deadline October 20»
- «Add a comment with a checklist to task #1245: check texts, replace banner, send for approval»
- «How much time has the team recorded on the project “Mobile Application” in the last month?»
- «Start a timer on the task I’m currently working on»
About security
The assistant works on your behalf and sees exactly what you see. If you don’t have access to a project, the assistant won’t have it either.
Administrative functions, such as managing subscriptions or deleting an account, are completely unavailable through MCP.
Most assistants show you the action that will change something before executing it and wait for confirmation. You can revoke access at any time in the settings of your AI client.
In conclusion
MCP makes Worksection one step closer to you: now you can simply talk to the system. Try it and let us know what queries turned out to be the most useful. We will expand the capabilities of the assistant based on your experience.
Thank you for choosing Worksection!
