# AdsAgent Setup

- 1. For an installed Claude or Cursor plugin, use its bundled OAuth MCP

- connections. Use the dashboard-generated install prompt only for a manual

- MCP connection in a client without plugin support. Never invent endpoints,

- credentials, local relays, or stdio setup.

- 2. Reconnect the existing transport and re-list tools after a new connection or

- guide/schema version. Do not re-register or replace a bearer solely for a

- protocol or guide update.

- 3. Run `setup_get_status` and inspect advertised

- capabilities before any optional workflow.

- 4. Report channel readiness, blockers, authorization next action, and local

- Skill Pack update notice separately.

- 5. Never print credentials, infer readiness from screenshots, or change

- customer permissions.

- Read [setup-contract.md](setup-contract.md) only when installing, reconnecting,

- authorizing a channel, or evaluating a Skill Pack update reminder.

+ 1. Keep the user's task. Reuse existing connections; connect only the

+ requested channel.

+ 2. Distinguish client MCP OAuth, platform authorization, account scope,

+ history sync, and launch readiness.

+ 3. For missing tools, follow [setup-contract.md](setup-contract.md). Otherwise

+ read the selected server's `setup_get_status` when readiness is unknown or

+ blocked. Inspect capabilities and return one actionable next step.

+ 4. Use the advertised begin/check flow on its owning server. Share the returned

+ link, wait for the human, then check the same connection once. Never poll

+ OAuth automatically or copy credentials between servers.

+ 5. Recheck readiness and resume the original task. For setup-only requests,

+ report status and stop. Never change customer permissions.
