Legacy Authentication: Permanent Access Token

← Back to Wrike MCP Server

For individual use or testing. For team deployments, we recommend OAuth 2.0.

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

Configure Your AI Assistant

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

• Claude Desktop & Cursor — Use "Option B: Permanent Access Token"
• Other MCP Clients — Set the Authorization: Bearer header

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
