## What it does

The server speaks Streamable HTTP and answers JSON-RPC calls. Five tools ship with it: `check_workspace_change` inspects a change, `approve_model_run` signs off on a model run, `estimate_ai_studio_spend` gives a spend estimate, `issue_workspace_receipt` produces a structured receipt, and `export_workspace_audit` dumps the audit trail. Receipts and logs are shaped for a reviewer to read.

This is hosted and paid, not a local package. Production calls need a bearer token issued on the product site, sent as `Authorization: Bearer <token>`. Requests to `/mcp` without it fail; an unauthenticated browser visit gets a JSON error rather than internals. Pick a plan first, then create or request the token.

Any client that supports remote Streamable HTTP servers can connect: Claude, Codex, Cursor, GitHub Copilot, Windsurf, Cline, Zed, Gemini CLI. The endpoint is `https://aistudioworkspaceapproval.clauxel.com/mcp`. The repository holds public documentation only, so you judge the tools by what the server returns, not by reading source.
