Key takeaways:
- What does this announcement mean for customers? You can now connect Wrike to ChatGPT through OpenAI, making it easier for your team to bring real work context into AI conversations and turn outputs into action inside Wrike.
- Why is this better than using ChatGPT and Wrike separately? It keeps work inside a governed, auditable system with permissions, access controls, and a single source of truth, reducing the risks of shadow AI and siloed information.
- What does Wrike MCP Server do? It enables secure, OAuth-based connections between AI assistants and Wrike, so teams can read, create, and update work without custom code while maintaining enterprise security and compliance.

AI assistants have officially entered the mainstream. Teams are using tools like ChatGPT for everyday work — to ask questions, summarize information, and move faster. But for many organizations, there’s still a gap between AI conversations and real work getting done in a secure, governed system.
That’s why we’re excited to announce that Wrike is now available as an App in ChatGPT. Customers can seamlessly connect Wrike to this leading AI assistant, helping teams bring work context into AI conversations and turn AI outputs into action inside Wrike.
This is an important step for customers who want to move from disconnected AI experiments to governed, auditable workflows. With Wrike MCP Server, teams can connect AI assistants to Wrike’s Work Intelligence® Graph, which captures how complex work is done within organizations, using secure OAuth-based access — no custom code or AI addendum required.
What this means for customers
Wrike is now easier to discover, access, and adopt in ChatGPT, which is used by over 1 million business customers.
For Wrike customers, that means:
- Faster setup: Connect Wrike to ChatGPT without building custom integrations.
- More useful AI: Give assistants access to real work context in Wrike.
- Better governance: Keep permissions, access controls, and auditability in place.
- Less shadow AI: Capture outputs in Wrike instead of losing them in chats and docs.
Instead of asking teams to switch systems, Wrike meets them where they already work. Customers can use AI assistants like ChatGPT to interact with live work data while keeping work connected to a single source of truth.
This helps accelerate both bottom-up adoption and broader enterprise rollout. Individual teams can start using Wrike with their preferred assistant, while IT and security leaders get the governance they need to support production use cases more confidently.
This availability also reinforces Wrike’s role in the evolving AI ecosystem. As organizations look for practical ways to operationalize AI, they need more than a chatbot. They need a trusted system where AI can interact with real work data securely and reliably.
From AI chat to governed execution
AI can help teams move faster, but speed without control creates risk. Many organizations are already seeing the downside of disconnected AI usage: duplicated work, siloed information, and limited visibility into what AI tools are doing.
Wrike helps solve that problem with MCP Server, a secure connector that lets AI assistants read from and write to Wrike while honoring enterprise governance. That means customers can:
- Ask for project or task status in natural language
- Find answers across complex work structures
- Create tasks and projects from simple prompts
- Turn meeting notes into assigned work
- Prioritize work based on deadlines and context
Secure by design with OAuth-based access
A key part of this announcement is that Wrike MCP Server uses OAuth-based connectivity rather than generic API keys or personal access tokens.
For customers, this means:
- Each assistant gets its own connection to Wrike
- Access can be narrowly scoped and revoked at any time
- AI activity is more visible and auditable
- Security and compliance teams have clearer oversight
This approach gives enterprises the flexibility to use AI assistants like ChatGPT while maintaining the controls they expect from any business-critical integration. Every action stays tied to Wrike permissions and workflows, helping organizations move faster without compromising security.
What customers can do next
Customers can now connect Wrike through OpenAI and start exploring practical use cases right away. They can also connect to Microsoft Copilot, Anthropic Claude, or other AI assistants via MCP with OAuth-based connectivity. Expect future announcements soon about these marketplaces.
Whether the goal is faster status reporting, easier project setup, or turning conversations into structured work, Wrike makes it easier to put AI to work inside existing workflows.
