Scope by Ouroboros Apps (https://ouroborosapps.com). Freelance scope of work: approved scope, rates, deadlines, and change orders, so an assistant cannot promise work or discounts that were not approved. Connect by pasting https://scope-continuity2.vercel.app/mcp into Claude, Cursor, Grok, or ChatGPT developer mode and signing in with OAuth (dynamic client registration; leave client id and secret empty).

Server tool list (9)

Raw names from tools/list. Only developers need these.

list_engagementsList the signed-in freelancer's engagements. Use a returned id with get_approved_record. Do not guess an engagement.
create_engagementCreate a draft engagement. Draft terms are not an approved commitment until approve_scope.
get_approved_recordRead the approved scope, rates, deadlines, and change orders before answering. Quote only this record. Draft status is not an approved commitment. Proposed change orders do not authorize a discount or extra work.
save_scope_itemAdd or update a scope item the freelancer has accepted. After approval, a new item is refused until approve_change_order adds that work. Renaming approved work is refused.
save_rateSet a draft rate, or update an approved rate without lowering it or changing its unit. A lower amount is a discount and is refused. A new rate code after approval is refused. Use file_change_order and approve_change_order for those.
save_deadlineSet or move the deadline for one scope item. The date is a calendar day in YYYY-MM-DD form.
approve_scopeMark the current draft as the approved scope. Pass confirmed true only after the freelancer explicitly approves the current items, rates, and deadlines.
file_change_orderRecord a proposed change order. This does not change scope, rates, or deadlines. kind add_work requires workTitle and workDescription. kind discount_rate requires rateCode and a lower amountMinor. kind add_rate requires rateCode, rateLabel, amountMinor, and unit. kind move_deadline requires scopeItemId and dueOn.
approve_change_orderApply one proposed change order after the freelancer explicitly approves that order. Pass confirmed true only then. This is the path that may discount a rate or add work. Calling it is not a substitute for the freelancer's approval.
