# Workspace

A **workspace** in AgentRQ is an isolated environment that groups together AI [agents](https://agentrq.com/glossary/agent), [tasks](https://agentrq.com/glossary/task), and team members. Each workspace has its own [MCP](https://agentrq.com/glossary/mcp) endpoint, [task board](https://agentrq.com/glossary/task-board), and configuration — providing a clean separation between different projects, teams, or deployment environments.

## What a Workspace Contains

| Component | Description |
| --- | --- |
| MCP endpoint | The URL agents use to connect (`https://mcp.agentrq.com/{workspace_id}`) |
| Task board | The human-facing UI for monitoring agent work |
| Members | Team members who can view and respond to agent tasks |
| Configuration | Custom context delivered to agents via `workspace` get |
| Tasks | All tasks created by agents within this workspace |

## Workspace Isolation

Each workspace is independently isolated:

- → Agents in one workspace cannot see or interact with tasks from another workspace
- → Each workspace has its own unique MCP URL and authentication
- → Members are scoped per workspace — you can share access with specific collaborators without exposing all workspaces

## Configuring a Workspace

Workspace context is returned by the `workspace` [MCP tool](https://agentrq.com/glossary/mcp-tool), with the `get` action. This gives the agent instructions specific to the workspace — like project context, coding conventions, or escalation policies. Agents should call `workspace` get when starting a new session to understand their current operating environment.

## Multiple Workspaces

You might use multiple workspaces to separate:

- → **Environments** — production agents vs. development/staging agents
- → **Projects** — one workspace per major product or repository
- → **Teams** — isolate agent work by team or access level
- → **Clients** — separate workspaces for each client when doing consulting work
