# Getting started

Connect a supported MCP client to DIDWW and complete a first account request.

## Before you begin

- An active DIDWW account is required. [Sign in to DIDWW](https://my.didww.com/users/sign_in) or [create a DIDWW account](https://my.didww.com/users/sign_up#/users/sign_up).
- A supported MCP client that can connect to remote MCP servers using
  Streamable HTTP with OAuth is required.
- Your DIDWW user must have permission to perform the account tasks you intend
  to request.
- Access to your two-factor authentication method is required when two-factor
  authentication is enabled for your DIDWW user.

See [DIDWW MCP connection details](connection-details.html) for supported MCP
clients and connection requirements.

## Connect DIDWW MCP

Connection settings differ between MCP clients. For client-specific
instructions, see:

- [Connect Claude to DIDWW](how-to-guides/claude.html)
- [Connect ChatGPT to DIDWW](how-to-guides/chatgpt.html)
- [Connect Perplexity to DIDWW](how-to-guides/perplexity.html)

Other MCP clients may connect when they support remote MCP connections using
Streamable HTTP with OAuth.

To connect DIDWW:

1. Open the integrations, connectors, or MCP settings in your MCP client.
2. Choose the option to add a remote MCP server, custom MCP server, or
   connector.
3. Enter **DIDWW** as the connection name.
4. Enter the server address from [DIDWW MCP connection details](connection-details.html).
5. Start the connection.

The MCP client opens the DIDWW authorization page in your browser.

## Authorize the connection

The authorization page uses the DIDWW account from your current User Panel
browser session. It does not provide an account picker.

1. Sign in to the DIDWW User Panel if you are not already signed in.
2. Complete two-factor authentication when required.
3. Confirm the name of the MCP client requesting access.
4. Review the DIDWW account, user, and assigned roles shown on the page.
5. Read the information under **Before you connect an AI assistant**.
6. Select **I understand and accept**.
7. Select **Authorize**.
8. After authorization is complete, return to the MCP client.

The **Authorize** button remains unavailable until you accept the connection
notice.

## Verify the connection

After returning to the MCP client, verify that it uses the expected DIDWW
account.

Make a read-only request:

```
Which DIDWW account is currently active?
```

If prompted, review and approve the MCP client's request to access DIDWW.
Confirm that the response identifies the expected account.

Note

An approval displayed by the MCP client is separate from a DIDWW
confirmation required for a purchase, deletion, or another protected action.

Use another DIDWW account

If the DIDWW user can access multiple accounts, ask:

```
List the DIDWW accounts I can access.
Do not switch accounts.
```

To select another account, ask:

```
Switch to the DIDWW account named Example Company.
Confirm the active account before making any changes.
```

Permissions are evaluated separately for each account. Switching accounts
can change the information and actions available to the MCP client.

Try another read-only request

Review the account balance:

```
Show my DIDWW account balance.
Do not make any changes.
```

Or search for phone numbers:

```
Find available geographic phone numbers in Ireland.
Do not purchase anything.
```

## Understand confirmations

Important

DIDWW presents a preview and requires confirmation before an action charges
the account, creates a recurring charge, purchases a service, deletes or
terminates a resource, or makes another significant account change.

Review the preview before confirming. Requesting information does not
authorize a purchase or account change.

See [Money, confirmations, and safety](overview.html#mcp-money-confirmations-and-safety) for protected actions, purchase
previews,
usage rates, and the two-step confirmation process.

## Manage the connection

To review or disconnect MCP clients:

1. Sign in to the DIDWW User Panel.
2. Open the account switcher in the upper-right corner.
3. Select **Account Settings**.
4. Select the **MCP Clients** tab.

Select **Revoke** to disconnect a specific MCP client. Select **Revoke all** to
disconnect every listed MCP client.

Note

A revoked connection cannot be restored. To use the MCP client again,
reconnect DIDWW and complete the browser authorization process.
