The API still accepts the token in a query string, and no idempotency keys, Retry-After header, uptime SLA or API changelog were found in the reviewed documentation.\n\n**Wrike.** The official MCP server has 29 documented tools for search, task and project creation, bulk updates, comments and approvals, and it works on every plan including Free. Permanent access tokens never expire and carry the user's full access, and no SLA, official SDK or deprecation policy was found in the reviewed documentation.\n\n## Before you call either\n\n### Shortcut\n\n1. Send the v3 token in the `Shortcut-Token` header. v4 (alpha) takes `Authorization: Bearer` with `sct_ro_` or `sct_rw_` tokens, and v3 tokens don't work there.\n2. Create a story with `name` and `workflow_state_id`. Sending both `workflow_state_id` and `project_id`, or neither, is rejected.\n3. Use `GET /api/v3/search/stories` with `detail=slim`, `page_size` (1 to 250) and the `next` token. Many other v3 list endpoints return every record at once.\n4. Stay under 200 requests a minute and add your own backoff on 429, because no Retry-After header is documented.\n5. For MCP, connect to https://mcp.shortcut.com/mcp and request only the scopes needed, such as `read` or `story-write`.\n\n### Wrike\n\n1. Build API URLs from the `host` value returned by /oauth2/token. Accounts live on www.wrike.com, app-eu.wrike.com or app-us2.wrike.com, and the wrong host answers 401.\n2. Use https://mcp.wrike.com/v2 only. The older /app/mcp/stream and /app/mcp/sse URLs serve the v1 tool set.\n3. Call `search_workflows` before setting a status, because `update_items` and `search_items` take custom status ids.\n4. Stay under about 400 requests a minute per token or IP and back off exponentially on 429. Use POST /batch for up to 100 operations.\n5. Page task lists with `pageSize` (up to 1,000) and `nextPageToken`, and request optional data through `fields`.\n\n## Questions\n\n### Which is better for AI agents, Shortcut or Wrike?\n\nShortcut and Wrike score within a point of each other on agent readiness, 60.2 (C) and 60.1 (C). Wrike leads on agent ergonomics, security \u0026 auth and transparency \u0026 trust.\n\n### Do Shortcut and Wrike need an API key?\n\nBoth take an API key or an OAuth sign-in.\n\n### Can an agent call Shortcut and Wrike without installing anything?\n\nYes. Shortcut has a hosted endpoint at https://api.app.shortcut.com and Wrike at https://www.wrike.com/api/v4.\n\n\n## For agents\n\n- This comparison as JSON: https://www.anchorterminal.com/compare/shortcut-vs-wrike.json, and with the fewest tokens: https://www.anchorterminal.com/compare/shortcut-vs-wrike.min.md\n- Over MCP at https://www.anchorterminal.com/mcp (no key): `compare_tools {\"a\": \"shortcut\", \"b\": \"wrike\"}`.
