# Legacy Authentication: Permanent Access Token

*For individual use or testing. For team deployments, we recommend* [*OAuth 2.0*](https://developers.wrike.com/wrike-production/docs/wrike-mcp-server-overview)*.*

## Generate Your Wrike API Token

1. Navigate to your Wrike workspace
2. Click on your **profile icon** in the navigation bar
3. Select **Apps & Integrations**
4. Click on **API**
5. Click **+ App**
6. Enter a name for your integration (e.g., "MCP Integration")
7. Click **Get Token** at the bottom of the window (follow the instructions at the developers' portal)
8. **Important:** Copy and securely store your token - you won't see it after closing the page!
9. Click **Save**

<br />

## Configure Your AI Assistant

Once you have your token, follow the setup guide for your AI assistant:

* [Claude Desktop & Cursor](/permanent-access-token/) - Use "Option B: Permanent Access Token"
* [Other MCP Clients](/setup-other-mcp-clients-with-wrike-mcp/)  - Set the Authorization: Bearer header

<br />

## Security Notes

* Your token inherits all of your Wrike permissions - treat it like a password
* Store tokens securely; never commit them to version control
* If you suspect a token has been compromised, revoke it immediately in Wrike and generate a new one
