AIRO MCP server ​

Open your terminal.

Store your API token in an environment variable to avoid writing it to your configuration file in plain text:

export WORKATO_API_TOKEN="<YOUR_API_TOKEN>"

Add the server, referencing the environment variable in the authorization header:

claude mcp add --transport http workato-airo-mcp-server https://app.workato.com/airo_mcp \
  --header 'Authorization: Bearer ${WORKATO_API_TOKEN}'

Use single quotes around the header. This stores the literal ${WORKATO_API_TOKEN} reference in your configuration, and Claude Code expands it when it connects.

Start a new Claude Code session.

Verify the connection by running /mcp in Claude Code. workato-airo-mcp-server should appear with a connected status.

Confirm the server responds by prompting Claude Code. For example, List my Workato projects.

Open Claude Desktop.

Go to Settings > Developer and click Edit Config to open claude_desktop_config.json. You can also open the file directly:

• macOS: ~/Library/Application Support/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json
• Windows: %APPDATA%\Claude\claude_desktop_config.json

Add the following configuration, replacing <YOUR_API_TOKEN> with the token you generated:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "workato-airo-mcp-server": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": [
        "mcp-remote",
        "https://app.workato.com/airo_mcp",
        "--transport",
        "http-first",
        "--header",
        "Authorization:${AUTH_HEADER}"
      ],
      "env": {
        "AUTH_HEADER": "Bearer <YOUR_API_TOKEN>"
      }
    }
  }
}

Save your changes.

Restart Claude Desktop and start a new chat. If the server doesn't connect, check its status under Settings > Developer.

Confirm the server responds by prompting Claude. For example, List my Workato projects.

Open your Cursor MCP configuration file. Edit it directly for all projects, or use .cursor/mcp.json in a project root to scope the server to that project.

• macOS and Linux: ~/.cursor/mcp.json
• Windows: %USERPROFILE%\.cursor\mcp.json

You can also open the file from the Customize page in the Cursor desktop app by selecting MCPs > + New.

Add the following configuration, replacing <YOUR_API_TOKEN> with the token you generated:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "workato-airo-mcp-server": {
      "url": "https://app.workato.com/airo_mcp",
      "headers": {
        "Authorization": "Bearer <YOUR_API_TOKEN>"
      }
    }
  }
}

Save your changes.

Verify the connection. On the Customize page, select MCPs and confirm that the server appears with its tools and resources.

Start a new chat and prompt your Cursor agent to confirm that the server responds. For example, List my Workato projects.

Sign in to ChatGPT on the web with a Pro, Plus, Business, Enterprise, or Education account. Developer mode isn't available in the desktop or mobile apps.

Enter workato-airo-mcp-server in the Name field.

Set the server URL to https://app.workato.com/airo_mcp in the Connection field.

Set the Header scheme to Bearer in the Authentication field.

Select the I understand and want to continue checkbox, then click Create.

Enter your API token in the Enter access token or API key field, then click Connect.

Verify the connection by trying the app in a new conversation.
