AI client setup
Connect Claude Cowork
Claude Cowork MCP support is rolling out. The intended setup adds the SpendSignoff server in the workspace MCP settings — read-only first, drafts your team approves in the SpendSignoff app.
Claude Cowork support is rolling out
Claude Cowork is the shared team workspace for Claude. SpendSignoff support is on the way: the plan is a workspace-level MCP server entry, registered over OAuth 2.1 with the mcp.read and mcp.draft scopes only.
The intended config is below. In a shared workspace the boundary matters more, not less — Cowork reads and drafts; pushing a change live still takes a human approval inside the SpendSignoff app.
Intended config
Add the SpendSignoff server in the workspace MCP settings:
workspace MCP config
{
"mcpServers": {
"spendsignoff": {
"url": "https://mcp.spendsignoff.com/mcp"
}
}
}Three steps to live
Connect the client
Add the SpendSignoff MCP server to your client and finish the OAuth 2.1 handshake. The client requests two scopes only — mcp.read and mcp.draft. There is no mcp.approve scope to grant.
Authorize an ad account, read-only
OAuth into Google Ads or Meta. The first authorization is read-only: SpendSignoff reads spend, structure, and performance so the operator can find money. Reads are ungated on every plan, including Free.
Review and ship your first approval
The operator drafts a change — say, moving budget off a stalled ad set — and shows the before → after diff. You run the two-step Approve and push live → Confirm control in the SpendSignoff app. Only then does it touch the live account, with a signed audit entry and one-click rollback.
Shared workspace, same scope boundary
mcp.read and mcp.draft. No one can push a change live from the client. Every live change still routes through the SpendSignoff approval queue and the KMS-signed audit log.What works today
- Read campaigns, ad sets, budgets, bids, and performance across linked Google Ads and Meta accounts.
- Ask the operator for a plain-English read: pacing, wasted spend, top movers, anomalies.
- Draft budget reallocations, bid changes, and pacing fixes as reviewable diffs via
propose_change. - Approve or reject drafts in the SpendSignoff app — never inside the AI client.
