Setup other MCP clients

← Back to Wrike MCP server

This guide covers generic setup for MCP clients such as Cursor, Windsurf, and custom clients.

Connection details

Point your MCP client to the Wrike MCP server endpoint:

• MCP server URL: https://mcp.wrike.com/app/mcp/sse

Authentication

Recommended: If your MCP client provides a UI to add MCP servers/connectors, use that instead of manually editing config files.

Note for manually configured clients: Many MCP clients configured via npx mcp-remote (including Claude Desktop and Cursor) require DCR (Dynamic Client Registration) for OAuth. Use a Permanent Access Token for these clients for now.

Permanent Access Token: Set the following HTTP header on all requests:

Authorization: Bearer YOUR_ACCESS_TOKEN

Replace YOUR_ACCESS_TOKEN with your Wrike Permanent Access Token. See Legacy Authentication Setup for how to generate one.

Cursor configuration

Add the following to .cursor/mcp.json in your project root:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "wrike": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": [
        "mcp-remote",
        "https://mcp.wrike.com/app/mcp/sse",
        "--header",
        "Authorization:${AUTH_HEADER}"
      ],
      "env": {
        "AUTH_HEADER": "Bearer YOUR_ACCESS_TOKEN"
      }
    }
  }
}
