Workspaces

Workspaces let you keep different projects or contexts separate. Each workspace has its own collections, artifacts, search index, and member list. You can switch between them instantly from the sidebar.

Creating a workspace

Go to Settings → Workspace Settings and scroll to Your Workspaces. Click + Create Workspace to set one up. Each workspace gets a name and a slug (used in URLs and API references).

You can also create a workspace from the workspace switcher in the sidebar — click the workspace name at the top to open the dropdown, then select Manage Workspaces.

Switching workspaces

Click your workspace name in the top-left of the sidebar. A dropdown shows all workspaces you have access to. Click one to switch. Everything updates — collections, search, and navigation — to reflect the selected workspace.

Workspace settings

Workspace settings showing name, members, and workspace list

Each workspace has its own settings, accessible from Settings → Workspace: [name] → Settings:

  • Workspace Name — the display name
  • Slug — the URL-safe identifier
  • Members — people with access to this workspace, with role badges (owner, member)
  • Pending Invitations — invites that haven't been accepted yet, with options to resend or revoke
  • + Invite Member — add someone by email

Members and roles

Workspaces support multiple members. The creator is the owner. You can invite others by email, and they'll get access to the workspace's collections and content once they accept.

Per-workspace MCP

MCP connections are workspace-scoped. When your AI assistant connects to Sombra, it operates within the context of your current workspace. Saving, searching, and browsing all happen within that workspace's data.

The dashboard shows connected MCP clients — which tools are connected and when they were last active. This gives you visibility into which AI assistants are working with your content.

What's isolated per workspace

Each workspace maintains its own:

  • Collections and artifacts
  • Search index
  • Member list and invitations
  • MCP client connections
  • Subscription and billing
  • Access tokens

When to use multiple workspaces

  • Personal vs. work — keep your personal research separate from team projects
  • Per-project — give each major project its own space with focused collections
  • Shared research — create a workspace specifically for collaborating with others, then share collections into your personal workspace for reference
