# OpenRush MCP: Use OpenRush in Slack and Email

Source: https://maito.app/integrations/openrush

Connect the OpenRush MCP server to Maito with one sign-in, and your whole team can use it from Slack or email: “Which keywords does acme.com rank for that we don't?”

OpenRush does SEO research with live search data: keywords, rank tracking, competitor gaps and site audits. Connect the OpenRush MCP server to Maito once, and everyone on your team can use OpenRush from Slack, by email, or from Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor, Codex, Grok or Muse. Nobody else has to sign in.

## How to connect OpenRush

Open Connections in your workspace and choose Connect next to OpenRush. You sign in to OpenRush in a new tab, and that's the whole setup. Name the account and choose Workspace under who can use it. That's the only time anyone signs in: your whole team, shared chats and Loops can use OpenRush from then on. Or skip ahead and ask for the work: Maito sends you a link if OpenRush isn't connected yet.

## Questions

### What is the OpenRush MCP server URL?

OpenRush publishes it at https://api.openrush.com/mcp, and it signs in with OAuth, so there's no key to copy.

### Can I use the OpenRush MCP server from Slack?

Yes. Connect it to Maito once, then mention Maito in any Slack channel or send it a direct message. The same connection works by email and from Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor, Codex, Grok or Muse.

### Does everyone on my team have to connect OpenRush?

No. One person connects it once and chooses Workspace. Then everyone in the workspace, shared chats and Loops can use OpenRush, without signing in themselves. Choose Only me instead to keep it to your own chats.

### Do I have to connect OpenRush before I ask?

No. If a request needs OpenRush and it isn't connected yet, your agent sends you a link. Connect it, and the work picks up where it stopped.

### Can I limit what Maito does in OpenRush?

Yes. After you connect, turn off any OpenRush tools you don't want Maito to use, such as the ones that change data. Tools OpenRush adds later stay off until you turn them on.
