Connect a client

All clients point at the same endpoint. The first tool call triggers the OAuth browser sign-in.

Review the security model first. The server can create clip projects, create and reschedule events, remove events, and toggle destinations. Keep human confirmation enabled in your client and review write tool calls before approving them.
