How sign-in works

  1. Your client finds our sign-in details at /.well-known/oauth-authorization-server.
  2. It registers itself automatically — there is no client ID or key to copy.
  3. You approve access on a FinalTake page, using PKCE for the exchange.
  4. The client gets a one-hour access token and refreshes it for 30 days.

Nothing generates until you approve the plan, and the cost is shown first. Every tool is labelled read-only or not, so your client can ask you before anything changes a project or spends credits.
