Teamwork Projects + Claude

Manage Teamwork.com (projects, tasks, milestones, time entries, comments, people) from any AI agent. 10 tools, basic-auth with API key.

Prerequisites

See the full setup instructions baked into the connector (visible in the in-app store when you select the connector). The required environment variables for this connector are:

TEAMWORK_SUBDOMAIN, TEAMWORK_API_KEY

Step 1 — Get credentials

This connector wraps the Teamwork Projects REST API v3 (per-subdomain — yoursubdomain.teamwork.com/projects/api/v3).

Setup:

  1. Log into your Teamwork account → top-right avatar → Edit my details → API & Mobile → Get my API Key.
  2. Note your subdomain (the part before .teamwork.com).
  3. Set TEAMWORK_SUBDOMAIN and TEAMWORK_API_KEY.

Authentication: HTTP Basic — API key as username, literal x as password.

Per-tenant baseUrl: https://${TEAMWORK_SUBDOMAIN}.teamwork.com/projects/api/v3. Substituted at import time.

API versions: v3 is the modern REST. v1/v2 still exist for some endpoints. This adapter uses v3 where available.

…(continued in the in-app connector instructions)

Step 2 — Install the adapter

git clone https://github.com/HelpCode-ai/anythingmcp.git
cd anythingmcp && docker compose up -d

Step 3 — Add the connector in Claude

Recommended path — works on claude.ai web without editing any config file.

  1. Open claude.ai/customize/connectors.
  2. Click "Add custom connector".
  3. Fill in:
    • Name: Teamwork Projects
    • URL: https://cloud.anythingmcp.com/mcp
    • Authentication: Bearer token → paste your MCP API key (from AnythingMCP → Profile → MCP API Keys → New Key)
  4. Click Connect to authorize.
