What Claude can access

Claude works through the Teamwork.com account connected to the MCP server. It can only access information and actions available to that account.

Depending on account permissions, Claude can help with supported Teamwork.com workflows across areas such as projects, tasks, milestones, workload, budgets, time, support tickets, and Spaces documentation.

Claude can only access the projects, data, and supported actions available to the connected Teamwork.com account. Any supported action Claude takes is based on those permissions.

Troubleshooting

  • If Claude cannot connect to Teamwork.com, confirm the MCP server URL is correct.
  • If projects or data are missing, check the permissions available to the connected Teamwork.com account.
