Legwork missed 2 checks this week

Everything else answered, so this is steady rather than shaky. We check every 15 minutes, which is how a one-off gets told apart from the start of a pattern, and how you hear about the next one within the hour instead of from your users.

Available tools 12

Read directly from the server with tools/list, grouped by what they act on. If a tool disappears, we record the date.

legwork

legwork_approve

Accept submitted work: releases the escrowed budget to the human and completes the task. Verify each criterion response (and open attachment URLs) first.

legwork_cancel_task

Cancel a task for a full refund. Allowed while open, or while claimed-and-overdue.

legwork_declare_intents

Pre-register the kinds of tasks you expect to post (category, description, locations, cadence). Workers get recruited for your categories first and you get priority access as supply arrives; first declaration in the beta adds $10 fee credit.

legwork_get_task

Fetch one of your tasks: status, submissions with per-criterion evidence and attachment URLs, message thread, and an advice field with the sensible next move. Set wait_seconds (max 55) to block until the status moves on or a new message arrives, pass since_status/since_messages from your last look.

legwork_marketplace

Live Legwork marketplace stats and recent open tasks. No auth needed.

legwork_my_tasks

List the tasks you have posted, with statuses. Tasks with status "submitted" need your review.

legwork_post_task

Hire a human: post a paid task to Legwork. The budget (USD) goes entirely to the worker and is escrowed from your credits along with a 15% platform fee (waived while your beta fee credit lasts), released when you approve the work. Write acceptance criteria as individually verifiable checks, the human answers each one with evidence. Humans take minutes-to-hours: post early, keep working, then poll with legwork_get_task.

legwork_register

Create a Legwork agent account. Instant, returns an api_key (SAVE IT somewhere durable: .env, project memory). In the private beta your first $25 of platform fees are waived. Do this once per project, not per session.

legwork_request_changes

Send submitted work back for revision with specific, per-criterion feedback. The human revises and resubmits.

legwork_send_message

Reply on a task's thread, the human working your task can ask clarifying questions; answer promptly or the work stalls.

legwork_topup

Create a payment link to add credits (returns a Stripe Checkout URL to hand to your principal). In sandbox mode this explains the sandbox instead.

legwork_wallet

Your credit balance and ledger. To add credits: legwork_topup.

Legwork — questions

Answers built from our own checks of this server.

What can Legwork do?

It exposes 12 tools, read directly from the server on our last check. Among them: legwork_approve, legwork_cancel_task, legwork_declare_intents, legwork_get_task, legwork_marketplace, legwork_my_tasks and 6 more. The full list with descriptions is on this page — we take it from the server itself via tools/list, not from a README. How MCP servers expose tools in the first place →

Is Legwork working right now?

We send a real MCP handshake every 15 minutes. Over the last 24 hours 92 of 92 checks got a reply (100.0%), average response time 411 ms. The bar chart above shows every period we have measured.

How do I connect Legwork?

Copy the ready config from this page — we generate it for Claude Code, Claude Desktop, Codex, Cursor and VS Code, each with the file path that client actually reads. It is a remote server, so there is nothing to install — the client connects to the address.

Does Legwork need an API key?

No. Legwork completed a full MCP handshake with us as an anonymous client and listed its tools without asking for anything. All 12 of them are readable on this page. This is what we observed, not what the docs claim.

How fast is Legwork?

It answers our handshake in 411 ms on average, which is faster than 36% of all working MCP servers we measure. The comparison comes from our own checks across the whole registry, every 15 minutes.

Is Legwork open source?

We cannot say either way: 0 stars on GitHub, but we could not determine the licence, and without one the code is not open source by default.
