Use the Upwork connector safely

Confirms which Upwork account and role you act for, searches without flooding context, and asks before any change such as sending a draft, inviting a freelancer or ending a contract.

Use it when

You have just connected Upwork and want to know what it can do
You manage both a freelancer profile and a client account and need the right one
You want to confirm an action will not be taken without your approval

Tools it uses

upwork__get_freelancer_financials
upwork__get_rate_insights

upwork__get_upload_status

Example

Check which Upwork account I'm using, then show me this month's freelancer earnings summary.

You're connected as freelancer account 'Maya K.' (confirmed). I pulled your freelancer dashboard for March and summarised the numbers without changing anything. Anything that would send a draft or change a contract will wait for your explicit yes.

Summarise and reconcile your Upwork financials

Builds a period report of your Upwork spend or earnings, checks the dashboard against the financials, and flags contracts worth a closer look. It is read-only and asks before any change.

Use it when

You need to know what you spent or earned on Upwork last month or quarter.
You want the dashboard and financial figures checked against each other.
You want to see which contracts are costing more than expected or have stalled.

Tools it uses

upwork__end_contract
upwork__get_account
upwork__list_accounts
upwork__get_client_dashboard
upwork__get_freelancer_dashboard
upwork__get_agency_dashboard
upwork__get_client_financials
upwork__get_freelancer_financials
upwork__get_profile
upwork__get_messages

Example

Summarise my Upwork client spend for March and flag any contracts I should review.

March spend came to 4,820 USD across 6 contracts, of which 4,150 is paid and 670 is pending. The parts add up to the total. Two contracts need a look: the design contract is 1,900 USD against a 1,200 budget, and the copywriting contract has had no recorded activity for 38 days. I have not ended anything; ending either contract needs your explicit yes.

Find and shortlist Upwork jobs with AI

Searches Upwork for jobs that fit a freelancer's profile, screens out weak postings, and drafts proposals for review. It asks before sending or switching accounts.

Use it when

You want the best-fitting open jobs without scrolling every result
You have a saved job and want to know if it is still worth applying to
You need a first draft of a proposal tailored to one posting

Tools it uses

upwork__get_account
upwork__list_accounts
upwork__get_profile
upwork__find_jobs
upwork__find_saved_jobs
upwork__get_job_posting
upwork__get_draft
upwork__confirm_draft

Example

Find me five Upwork jobs this week for React front-end work at $60/hour or more, and draft proposals for the best two.

I found 24 results and screened 9 in. Shortlist: a React dashboard rebuild, fixed-price $4,200, verified client with a 70% hire rate and 6 proposals so far, which fits your profile well. I drafted a proposal for it and one more, and sent nothing. I skipped 15: 8 were outside your skill set and 7 had budgets below your floor.

Review your Upwork profile and rate with AI

Reads your freelancer profile the way a client would, compares your rate with the market, and recommends ranked profile changes and a pricing position. It asks before changing your profile, rate or boost.

Use it when

Your Upwork invitations and replies have dried up and you want to know why
You are unsure whether your hourly rate is too high or too low for your skills
You are deciding whether a paid profile boost is worth the cost

Tools it uses

upwork__get_account
upwork__list_accounts
upwork__get_profile
upwork__get_rate_insights
upwork__boost_profile

Example

Review my Upwork freelancer profile and tell me if my rate is right for my market.

Your headline is generic and your portfolio has no items matching it, which is the biggest gap. Your rate of $45/hour sits near the top of the market band for WordPress development ($25–$50). With only 6 reviews, I recommend holding the rate and fixing the headline and portfolio first. I would not boost the profile yet.

How Upwork skills work

Connect Upwork
The Upwork MCP server gives the agent its tools.
Ask in plain words
“Summarise my Upwork client spend for March and flag any contracts I should review.” Each SKILL.md says when it applies, so only the one that fits is loaded.
Approve any change
The agent calls the tools in order, checks its work, and shows you any change before it makes it.

How to install Upwork skills

In RevampKey the skills install themselves when you connect Upwork. In other tools each skill is one folder with a SKILL.md file, and you also need the Upwork MCP server connected there.

Upwork skills FAQ

What is a Upwork agent skill?

A SKILL.md file: a short playbook an AI agent loads when your request matches it. Each Upwork skill describes one job, which Upwork tools to use in which order, what to check first and when to stop and ask you.

Do the Upwork skills change anything on their own?

2 of the 4 only read. The others tell the agent to show you the change and wait for a yes before it creates, edits or deletes anything in Upwork.

Which tools can use these skills?

Any agent that reads the open Agent Skills format: Claude Code, Cursor, Codex, VS Code with Copilot and RevampKey. In RevampKey they are attached when you connect Upwork; elsewhere you copy the folders into your project or skills directory.

Do I need the Upwork MCP server too?

Yes. The skills tell the agent how to do the work; the Upwork MCP server gives it the tools to do it. The Upwork MCP setup guide covers every client.
