Workix

Languages: English · Русский · Español · Deutsch · Français · Türkçe · Українська · हिन्दी · 中文

Workix is a place where people, projects, and work find each other.

The Workix hub brings three things into one catalog:

• Projects — startups, products, and communities looking for people.
• Roles and orders — open work with a description, budget, tags, and a way to apply.
• Participants — specialists, collaborators, and mentors who can connect through skills and interests.

Workix is not a traditional freelance marketplace. It does not try to replace the relationship between a project and a specialist. A listing leads to the project owner's preferred contact or application form, while Workix makes the opportunity easy to publish, discover, and share.

People can browse the catalog on the web. AI agents can search it and manage listings through MCP or the REST API. The same local MCP can also collect opportunities from external platforms while keeping platform credentials on the user's machine.

Ask your agent to explore Workix

Paste this prompt into Cursor, Claude, or another coding agent. It asks the agent to study Workix and then help with your specific goal.

Learn how Workix works:

1. Open https://workix.co/agent, https://workix.co/llms.txt,
   and https://workix.co/api.txt.
2. Open https://github.com/facetoplace/Workix and read README.md.
3. Explain in plain language:
   - what Workix is and who it is for;
   - how I can browse projects, roles, orders, and participants;
   - what an AI agent can do through the Workix MCP and API;
   - which parts run locally and how credentials are kept safe.
4. Look at my current project and help me choose and complete one useful next step:
   - connect Workix MCP to my agent;
   - search for relevant work, participants, or mentors by skills and interests;
   - publish or update a project, role, or participant profile;
   - deploy the Workix storefront on my own domain;
   - contribute an improvement to Workix.

Use WORKIX_API=https://workix.co for the central hub.
Do not upload freelance-platform passwords or tokens to the hub.
Adapt the instructions to my operating system, tools, and project.

What is in this repository?

This repository contains the open clients and integrations for Workix. They use the central hub API at https://workix.co, so a local copy can display the shared catalog without maintaining a separate catalog.

• views/ contains the storefront pages.
• assets/ contains the browser application, styles, translations, PWA files, and public API documents.
• mcp/ contains the TypeScript MCP server, Workix tools, and adapters for supported job platforms.
• docker/ contains a small nginx image for serving the storefront.
• docs/ contains public guides for agents and self-hosting.

The two main parts are independent:

1. Storefront — a web interface for browsing the Workix catalog. You can use it at workix.co or host the UI on your own domain.
2. MCP server — tools that let an AI agent search Workix, manage your listings and profile, prepare proposals, and work with supported external sources.

Catalog data is served by the central Workix API. Production secrets are not required to run the storefront or connect the MCP client.

Use Workix with an AI agent

With WORKIX_API=https://workix.co, an agent can search projects, roles, orders, participants, and mentors. With a WORKIX_AGENT_KEY, it can also create or update listings and manage a participant profile.

Recommended: install MCP from this repository’s source (freshest tools and adapters). npm/npx is optional and may lag behind git.

Requires Node 22.5 or newer: the local store is SQLite through Node's built-in node:sqlite, so nothing has to compile at install time.

git clone https://github.com/facetoplace/Workix.git
cd Workix/mcp
npm install
npm run build

Example Cursor MCP configuration (from source):

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "workix": {
      "command": "node",
      "args": ["FULL/PATH/TO/Workix/mcp/dist/index.js"],
      "env": {
        "WORKIX_API": "https://workix.co",
        "WORKIX_AGENT_KEY": "wix_…"
      }
    }
  }
}

Optional shortcut: npx -y @workix/mcp · npm @workix/mcp · Official Registry co.workix/mcp · install UI: workix.co/agent

Register at workix.co to get an agent key. The key is optional for public search and required for actions tied to your account.

External platform credentials belong only in the local MCP environment. Do not send Upwork, Kwork, or other platform passwords and tokens to the Workix hub.

See mcp/README.md for installation, available tools, and source-specific settings.

MCP 1.2.2 highlights

• Participant profiles can record networking, collaboration, and mentor preferences (networking, startups, opensource, equity) as yes, unknown, or no, plus an optional note.
• workix_list_performers can filter participants who explicitly opted into networking, collaboration, or mentor formats; hidden: true keeps a profile out of public feeds and search.
• workix_bump_profile resurfaces a profile without editing it. The hub allows one bump every three days and returns a cooldown with the next allowed time.
• The MCP also includes the 1.2.0 collect/search workflow, expanded sources, and logged-in browser adapters described in mcp/CHANGELOG.md.

Host the storefront on your domain

Projects and communities can serve the Workix UI from a domain such as work.example.com. The mirror still reads the shared catalog from https://workix.co.

1. Deploy views/ and assets/, or use the image in docker/.

2. Point the UI to the hub:

   <meta name="workix-api" content="https://workix.co" />
   

   You can also set API_BASE or WORKIX_API to https://workix.co.

3. Configure your DNS and hosting for the chosen domain.

Listings associated with that domain can be featured for visitors to the mirror. See work.facetoplace.app for a live example and docs/self-host.md for details.

Use other platforms through Workix MCP

Workix MCP is also a single interface for working with external freelance marketplaces and job boards. An agent can search several sources in one digest, open a specific listing, draft a proposal, and either submit it through an available API or prepare a browser checklist for you.

These integrations run locally. API tokens, platform logins, and browser sessions stay on your machine and are not sent to the Workix hub. Proposal submission always requires explicit human confirmation.

Platform readiness

The score describes how much of the intended Workix workflow is ready today, not how much of the platform itself is covered:

• 5/5 — search and submission work through a supported API.
• 4/5 — reliable search; submission or authentication still has a fallback or limitation.
• 3/5 — useful integration, but credentials, proxies, or an unofficial interface affect reliability.
• 2/5 — browser-assisted watch source rather than an automated feed.
• 1/5 — link/checklist only; deep automation is intentionally out of scope.

The Automation policy column is deliberately conservative. Platform terms and API permissions can change, so users must also follow the current rules of each source and their own account.
