Once in their Oath page, you should just continue with the registration or custom setup. It should redirect back to openwork. Feel free to open an issue if you require a custom MCP that we currently do not support.

Troubleshooting

Some MCP servers do not support dynamic client registration. If the server gives you a pre-registered OAuth client ID and client secret, add it through Add Custom App > Advanced OAuth. For Slack, follow Connect Slack MCP.
