Who it's for: a Claude Owner on a Claude Team or Enterprise plan who wants Coworker available to everyone (or a pilot group) without each person adding it by hand. About ten minutes.
Quickest way: open the Install for your Claude org page in Coworker and follow the steps there. That page always has the latest steps, which can change when Claude updates its apps. The steps below are a backup.
Not the Claude admin? On the Coworker MCP page, open Install for your Claude org and click Copy link for your admin. Send them that link.
If the Coworker page doesn't offer a plugin download, follow the steps it shows instead.
In Coworker, go to Settings → Coworker MCP → Install for your Claude org (https://app.coworker.ai/links/intercom/settings/coworker-anywhere?audience=org).
Click Download plugin (.zip).
In claude.ai go to Organization settings → Plugins & skills, click Add, then Upload a plugin. Name the marketplace, pick the zip, and click Upload. Cowork and Skills must both be turned on for your organization first.
If Claude shows Set up connectors for Coworker, click Add next to coworker, then Continue. If it doesn't, add the connector by hand (see "Plugin installed but nobody has Coworker tools" below).
For OAuth client, choose Register automatically. Don't keep the default, Use Claude's published identity (Recommended). Coworker doesn't accept it. Leave Request headers empty. Click Add, then Done.
Back on the plugin, set access to Required (everyone gets it next session and can't turn it off or remove it). "Installed by default" also works but lets people turn it off.
Go to Customize → Connectors, select coworker, and set every category under Tool permissions to Always allow. Set by an Owner, this applies to the whole org.
Copy the instructions shown on the Coworker page into Organization settings → Organization and access → Organization instructions. The field holds 3,000 characters and changes can take up to an hour to reach everyone.
Tell your team: open Customize → Connectors, click Connect on coworker, and sign in to Coworker with your work account. Then ask Claude:
Coworker is connected. Show me what you know about my company and what I can ask you now.
Check it landed: in a new chat, run that prompt. If Claude answers from your workspace without asking permission, everything works. If it asks to use a tool, step 7 didn't take. If it says it has no Coworker tools, the member hasn't connected yet or the connector wasn't added.
Enterprise: members with a custom role that has Manage access to Libraries can also manage the plugin and add the connector.
Common problems
Plugin installed but nobody has Coworker tools. Installing a plugin doesn't add its connector for the organization. An Owner adds it by hand once: Organization settings → Connectors → Add, hover Custom, then Web. Name it
coworker, URLhttps://odin.coworker.ai/mcp, same settings as step 5.Two Coworker connectors. Someone added it by hand before the zip upload. Remove the manual one under Organization settings → Connectors before uploading.
Cowork users still get approval prompts. Turn on Organization settings → Cowork → Permissions → Allow "Always allow" for connector tools (off by default). Enterprise custom roles can also restrict connector tools, but they can't bypass this setting.
Want nobody to sign in at all. Claude can authorize a connector once for the whole org on Team and Enterprise, but this isn't supported with Coworker today. Each person signs in once.
Only a pilot group, not the whole org (Enterprise). Use Claude's per-group plugin access: set a group override, for example auto-install for the pilot group and hide it from everyone else.
