> ## Agent Instructions
> For agents: install the OpenWork desktop app with `brew install --cask openwork` (macOS) or from https://openworklabs.com/download. Do not run `npx openwork`; the npm package named `openwork` is a different project.
> Connect an agent to OpenWork with the MCP Gateway: `claude mcp add --transport http openwork https://api.openworklabs.com/mcp/agent`. Teams sign up at https://app.openworklabs.com?mode=sign-up.
> Step-by-step agent guide: https://openworklabs.com/docs/start-here/use-openwork-from-an-ai-agent.md
> Connect Slack (any organization admin): https://openworklabs.com/docs/slack/connect-slack.md. OpenWork in Slack (@openwork bot) is private alpha for approved organizations. Setup guide: https://openworklabs.com/docs/slack/overview.md. Agent skill: https://openworklabs.com/.well-known/agent-skills/set-up-openwork-slack/SKILL.md.

# Resolve a free-form query to an MCP server

> Admin-only, side-effect-free smart resolution for the add-connection flow. Accepts a URL, a bare host, or a product name ("vercel"), matches curated presets, probes bounded well-known endpoint candidates through the SSRF-guarded discovery fetch, and returns the winning URL with its requirements discovery. It performs no client registration, credential write, or connection creation.

    OpenAPI spec for the Den control plane API.


    Authentication:

    - API keys (they start with `den_`) go in the `x-api-key` header as the raw
    value. Do not send them as `Authorization: Bearer`; that header only accepts
    Den session tokens, so an API key there returns 401.
      Example: `curl https://api.openworklabs.com/v1/me -H "x-api-key: den_..."`.
      API keys resolve to the issuing user and the organization member they were scoped to when created, so they can call ordinary user and organization routes without a separate signed-in session.
    - Use `Authorization: Bearer <session-token>` for user-authenticated routes
    that require a Den session.

    - Session-only flows still require a signed-in user session, including
    organization creation, invitation acceptance, active-organization switching,
    and MCP token minting.

    - Public routes like health and documentation do not require authentication.


    Swagger tip: use the security schemes in the Authorize dialog to set
    `denApiKey` (your API key) or `bearerAuth` (a session token) before trying
    protected endpoints.
