The Goody MCP server supports two ways to authenticate, both built on the same permissions and safeguards. Interactive AI clients use OAuth; scripts and automations use a personal MCP token. Either way, what a connection can do is governed by the three permissions below — and Send gifts is the only one that can spend money.

​
Two ways to connect

Claude (web, desktop, mobile), Cursor, ChatGPT’s MCP support, and other interactive AI clients connect through OAuth — authorization code flow with PKCE, refresh tokens, and Dynamic Client Registration. You add Goody as a connector, sign in once in the browser, and approve the permissions; the client then stores and silently refreshes short-lived tokens. There’s nothing to paste into a config file.This is the Connect path — use it for any client a person drives in a chat. Manage these connections in Goody for Business → account settings → Connect AI tools.
It’s the same server, the same scopes, and the same enforcement either way — the only difference is how the credential is obtained.

​
Permissions

Whether granted via OAuth consent or selected as a token’s scopes, a connection carries one or more of three permissions:
Pricing and previewing a gift never charge anything — they’re free. Only the Send gifts permission moves money. Grant it only to connections or tokens you intend to let spend.

​
Spending limits

Beyond per-gift confirmation, gifts sent through AI connectors are held under a rolling daily spend limit for your account. You can review and adjust it — including raising it, lowering it, or setting it to zero to block AI-initiated spend entirely — in Goody for Business → account settings → Connect AI tools. The limit applies across every AI tool and token you connect, not per connection — so it backstops unattended automations as well as interactive sessions.

​
Disconnecting

You’re in control of every connection from either side:
  • From Goody: open Goody for Business → account settings. Connect AI tools lists every OAuth-connected AI tool — when it connected and its permissions — with Disconnect to revoke it instantly. Personal MCP token lists your active tokens, each with Revoke.
  • From the client: remove or disable the Goody connector in the client’s settings (in Claude: Settings → Connectors), or delete the token from your script’s config.
A disconnected tool or revoked token must be re-authorized — or a new token minted — before it can access your account again.
