The wrike MCP adapter connects to the Wrike API v4. Create projects and tasks, search folders, upload attachments, post comments, and call raw API endpoints — suitable for enterprise work management automation and cross-tool sync.

​
Prerequisites

  • A Wrike account with access to the target spaces and folders
  • A Wrike OAuth 2.0 access token or permanent API token (Bearer)
  • Folder and task IDs from Wrike URLs or discovery tools
  • project_contributor access in AgentRuntime

​
Connect in AgentRuntime

1

Obtain a Wrike access token

Create a Wrike OAuth app or permanent token with scopes for folders, tasks, and comments. Copy the Bearer token.
2

Create a connection

Go to Connections and click New custom connection to create a connection with AccessToken. Set APIBase if you use a non-default host (must include /api/v4).
3

Add wrike MCP instance

Go to MCP, click Add instance for wrike, wire your connection on Instance config, set the profile active, and save.
4

Validate and discover

Run mcp_call → wrike_list_contacts and wrike_list_spaces to confirm access before creating tasks.
See Authentication for binding connections to MCP instances.

​
What you can build

  • Intake → project — Form or CRM trigger → wrike_create_project with owners and dates → wrike_create_task for kickoff items.
  • Document handoff — Generate report → base64 encode → wrike_upload_attachment on the client folder.
  • Status automation — External event → wrike_update_task to Completed with custom fields via custom_fields_json.
  • Folder navigation — wrike_list_spaces → wrike_list_folder_subfolders → agent picks target folder_id.
  • Advanced integrations — wrike_custom_api_call for timelogs, approvals, or workflows not in first-class tools.

Troubleshooting

IssueFix
401 UnauthorizedRefresh OAuth token or verify permanent token is active
Custom field errorsUse custom_fields_json with correct field_id values from Wrike admin
Empty search resultsScope wrike_find_task with folder_id or narrower title filter
Attachment too largeCheck Wrike file size limits; compress before base64 encoding
