# Upwork MCP: search safely, apply with your agent

Upwork's MCP lets your agent act in your account — send proposals, reply to clients. Use flconsole for the search part: it watches new jobs without touching your account, so your agent can check on a schedule.

## Why not search with Upwork's MCP?

Searching is the part an agent repeats all day. A freelancer reports a policy violation after checking Upwork's MCP for new jobs every 15 minutes, and Upwork support wouldn't say what the limits are. [source](https://www.reddit.com/r/UpworkOfficial/comments/1w8dxc6/upwork_mcp/)

## How the pair works

1.  **flconsole MCP**
    
    finds new jobs on a schedule
    
2.  **Your agent**
    
    picks the ones that fit and drafts proposals
    
3.  **You**
    
    approve each proposal
    
4.  **Upwork's MCP**
    
    sends it from your account

## A prompt to start with

```
Every 15 minutes, check new jobs in my flconsole feeds, pick the ones that fit, draft a proposal for each and ask me before sending anything through Upwork.
```

## Keep it safe

-   ### Search only through flconsole.
    
    Your agent never runs repeated searches from your Upwork account.
    
-   ### Approve every proposal.
    
    Ask your agent to show each draft before it's sent.
    
-   ### Use Upwork's MCP for actions.
    
    Proposals and messages go through Upwork's own tools.
    

## Questions

### Does flconsole see my Upwork account?

No. flconsole works only with public job posts. Your account is connected to Upwork's MCP, not to flconsole.

### Can my agent send proposals without asking?

That depends on your agent's settings. We recommend approving every proposal — the prompt above asks for it.

### Is flconsole free?

Yes, and it stays free: no API key, no card.
