## What it does

The plugin bridges Claude Code with your Wingspan paying company account using a bundled MCP server and OAuth. It supplies ten tools covering contractor searches, compliance checks like W-9 filings, payment timelines, and current payroll previews.

Write operations are strictly limited to drafting. You can invite contractors, log draft payables, and release them so payees can review the figures. Every modification requires explicit user approval through a preview step before saving. Direct money movement is unavailable in the chat; finalizing invoices and initiating payouts remain inside the Wingspan web app.

A paying organization account with permissions to inspect contractors and payables is required before setup.

# Wingspan for Claude

Ask Claude about the contractors you pay through Wingspan, what you owe them,
and what is holding up a payment — then onboard contractors and create draft
payables without leaving the conversation. Everything it creates is a draft:
it never sends money, and paying stays in the Wingspan app.

Wingspan is a payments platform. A company that pays contractors uses it to
bring them on board, collect their tax and compliance paperwork, and pay them.
This plugin connects Claude to your own Wingspan records and adds the guidance
Claude needs to use them well.

Everything here is written from the paying company's side. A contractor who
gets paid *through* Wingspan will not find their own records here.

## What you can ask for

- "Who do we pay?" — and any search over your roster by name, email, company
  or your own reference.
- "Can we pay this contractor, and if not, why?"
- "Who has not signed up yet?" and "who is missing their certificate of
  insurance?"
- "What do we owe this month?" and "what did we pay last quarter?"
- "What happened to this payment?" — the full history of one payment.
- "What is the next payroll run going to pay?" — as things stand today.
- "Add these five contractors to the design retainer and invite them."
- "Log twelve hours at $85 for this contractor, due on the 30th."
- "Release those drafts so the contractors can see them."

The last three write to your Wingspan account, and Claude always shows you a
preview of exactly what it would do and waits for you to approve it.

## Install

In Claude Code:

```
/plugin marketplace add wingspanHQ/mcp-claude-plugin
/plugin install wingspan@wingspan
```

Then connect your Wingspan account:

1. Run `/mcp` and choose the `wingspan` server.
2. Complete the Wingspan login that opens in your browser, and approve the
   access request.
3. Run `/wingspan:connect` to confirm which Wingspan account Claude is reading.

Access is renewed in the background, so a working connection normally stays
working. If it ever stops, run `/mcp` again and log in.

You need a Wingspan account on the paying side, and permission to see your
company's contractors and payments. Claude sees exactly what your own Wingspan
sign-in sees, and nothing more.

This repository also ships a Codex plugin manifest carrying the eight skills.
Codex does not read the connection from this plugin, so a Codex user adds the
Wingspan MCP server themselves, as an HTTP server at
`https://api.wingspan.app/v3/mcp` with OAuth, and then signs in the same
way.

## The ten tools

| Tool | What it answers | Reads or writes |
| --- | --- | --- |
| `who_am_i` | Does the connection work, and which account is it reading? | Reads |
| `search_contractors` | Who do we pay? Who matches this name? Who is held up? | Reads |
| `get_contractor` | Can we pay this one contractor, and if not, why? | Reads |
| `search_requirements` | What must a contractor satisfy before we can pay them? | Reads |
| `search_payables` | What do we owe, and what have we paid? | Reads |
| `get_payable` | What happened to this one payment? | Reads |
| `get_payroll_preview` | What would the next payroll run pay, as things stand today? | Reads |
| `create_contractors` | Create contractors, assign an existing engagement, send invites. | **Writes** |
| `create_payables` | Log payments as drafts. | **Writes** |
| `open_payables` | Release draft payables so contractors can see them. | **Writes** |

Full detail, including every filter and the rules the tools follow:
[`docs/tool-surface.md`](docs/tool-surface.md).

## Commands

| Run these yourself | Does |
| --- | --- |
| `/wingspan:connect` | Checks the connection and reports which Wingspan account the tools read, plus the signed-in person's email address when one is available. |
| `/wingspan:outstanding <requirement name>` | Lists the contractors who still have one named requirement outstanding, such as a W-9 or a certificate of insurance. Whether that blocks their payment is confirmed in the Wingspan app. |
