Legacy Authentication: Permanent Access Token
For individual use or testing. For team deployments, we recommend OAuth 2.0.
Generate Your Wrike API Token
- Navigate to your Wrike workspace
- Click on your profile icon in the navigation bar
- Select Apps & Integrations
- Click on API
- Click + App
- Enter a name for your integration (e.g., "MCP Integration")
- Click Get Token at the bottom of the window (follow the instructions at the developers' portal)
- Important: Copy and securely store your token — you won't see it after closing the page!
- 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
