Orkestra operates for you. With natural language.
We're the first project management platform with native MCP support. ~290 tools cover 99% of the backend — and it works with Claude, OpenClaw, HermesAgent and any compatible client.
What is MCP?
Model Context Protocol (MCP) is an open standard created by Anthropic that lets any AI assistant connect to external services through a unified protocol. Instead of re-inventing integrations for every AI, you just expose an MCP server — and all compatible agents can talk to it.
Orkestra was built with MCP in mind from day one. We have ~290 tools organized in 35 modules (projects, tasks, wiki, analytics, processes, stock and more) — with automatic preview/confirm flow for write operations, so agents never execute destructive changes without validation.
On top of that, every user can fill in a personal AI context (role, expertise,
preferred tone, timezone) in their profile. The MCP server exposes it as the resource
orkestra://user/context and through orkestra_get_profile, so your agents
know who you are from the first message — no need to repeat yourself in every conversation.
Claude Desktop
Anthropic's desktop app. Install the MCP server via npx and operate Orkestra from your conversations with Claude.
{
"mcpServers": {
"orkestra": {
"command": "npx",
"args": ["-y", "@orkestra/mcp-server"],
"env": {
"MCP_TOKEN": "ork_your_token_here"
}
}
}
} - Go to Settings → MCP Tokens and create a new token.
- Copy the token value (shown only once).
- Paste the config above into your
claude_desktop_config.jsonreplacingork_your_token_here. - Restart Claude Desktop. Done.
OpenClaw
Local-first agent that runs as a daemon and connects to 12+ messaging apps (WhatsApp, Telegram, Slack, Signal, Discord). Model-agnostic.
{
"mcp_servers": {
"orkestra": {
"transport": "http",
"url": "https://mcp.orkestra.team",
"headers": {
"Authorization": "Bearer ork_your_token_here"
}
}
}
} - Install OpenClaw following openclaw.ai.
- Generate an MCP token in Orkestra.
- Add the
mcp_serverssection to youropenclaw.json. - Run
openclaw start. Send "create a task to review the design" via WhatsApp and watch the task appear in Orkestra.
HermesAgent
Nous Research's agent with persistent memory and self-learned skills. Runs from a $5 VPS to serverless.
# hermes.config.yaml
mcp_servers:
orkestra:
transport: http
url: https://mcp.orkestra.team
headers:
Authorization: Bearer ork_your_token_here - Clone the repo:
git clone https://github.com/nousresearch/hermes-agent. - Generate an MCP token in Orkestra.
- Add
mcp_servers.orkestrato yourhermes.config.yaml. - Run
hermes run. Over time it will learn your recurring flows (standup, status, triage) and execute them without being asked.
Security and control
Automatic preview / confirm
All write operations go through a confirmation flow. The agent proposes, you (or your pre-configured approval) confirm.
Hashed tokens
We only store the SHA-256 hash of the token. The raw value is shown once at creation.
Instant revocation
Revoke a token from the UI and active connections close on the next request. No exposure windows.
Per-user scope
A token acts on behalf of the user who created it — with all their permissions and visibility, not one more.
