Our reading of Cowork, from the data
Cowork is a ai & llm tools MCP server from slashman413, listed in the official MCP Registry.
We haven't measured its tool list yet, so its token cost is unknown.
With 1 GitHub stars it ranks #978 of 3,169 ai & llm tools servers we index.
It runs as a hosted endpoint, so there is nothing to install and needs one secret (COWORK_API_KEY); use a scoped, least-privilege key.
