+Use get_balance to check remaining MCP allowance and last reported linked-account provider credits. Query responses include balance; report it with results without a redundant check. Missing or stale provider balances are labeled explicitly. See [balance and quota](docs/balance.md).
 
 Completed MCP results are eligible for reuse for seven days by default. Pass forceLive: true to bypass completed cache and request fresh upstream work. Pending work can be reused safely; retrieve the returned job ID instead of creating another request. Results disclose cache metadata and provider generation time when supplied.  See [examples and limits](docs/examples.md).
 
-The client enrolls automatically and stores its own installation credentials. Both GeoRanker products share their installation/account relationship for the same service origin. No manual provider API key is required. Setup performs no data query; data calls use the configured allowance and provider credits.
+The client enrolls automatically and stores its own installation credentials. Both GeoRanker products share their installation/account relationship. The default hosted origin is https://mcp.georanker.com. Updated clients reuse the existing local identity from https://grmcp.ibl.ro during the hostname migration, preserving credentials and account/report ownership. Explicit endpoint overrides remain supported; see the installation guide for migration and state-conflict recovery. No manual provider API key is required. Setup performs no data query; data calls use the configured allowance and provider credits.
 
 Request independent tasks in parallel. The hosted service applies shared and per-installation limits and may briefly queue a call. Clients sharing an installation share its limits; the operator controls slots centrally. Keep pending job or report IDs and retrieve existing results. Cancelling a call does not guarantee that submitted work stopped. Completed-result reuse remains seven days by default.

+# Balance and quota
+
+Both GeoRanker MCP products provide `get_balance` with empty arguments (`{}`). It creates no provider job and spends no MCP query admission units. HTTP and balance-read rate limits still apply, including when query allowances are exhausted or disabled.
+
+The hosted HTTP API provides authenticated `GET /seo/balance`, `GET /scraping/balance`, and the combined installation endpoint `GET /v1/balance`. Use the existing installation headers, or a product-scoped OAuth bearer token for that product's endpoint. There is no caller-supplied account or installation selector. Responses use `Cache-Control: no-store` and the existing Host and Origin checks. A token for SEO cannot read the scraping endpoint, or vice versa.
+
+`quota` reports the authenticated installation's current tier, total admitted usage and effective remaining allowance for rolling hour, day and 30-day windows. The windows count MCP admission units, not provider credits or money. The `scope`, `limit` and `used` describe the tightest remaining installation, IP, device, linked account or shared-service limit for that window. Account and shared-service identifiers are never returned. Own-key work excludes the shared-service ceiling. The same installation shares allowance across tools and products; separate installations, including separately enrolled OAuth connections, can differ.
+
+`nextReleaseAt` is the next unit expiry in the limiting rolling window, not a calendar reset. `retryAt` accounts for every blocking scope within that window and is null when there is no timed retry, including a disabled allowance. All windows must permit the request. Larger reports can require multiple admission units. Paid own-key tiers have null MCP limits and remaining amounts because the provider manages their credit constraint; null does not promise unlimited provider credits.
+
+`providerCredits` contains only the linked account's last signed credit snapshot, its `reportedAt` and `checkedAt` timestamps and a freshness status: `last_reported`, `stale`, or `unavailable`. `exactCurrentBalance` is false because concurrent or recent queries may not yet be reflected. Missing balance evidence is null, never an invented zero. The platform's shared provider balance is private. Existing account-status integration supplies updates; this feature does not implement a new upstream provider balance API or infer provider charges from MCP admission units.
+
+Every dispatched query and result-retrieval tool includes a post-call `balance` snapshot. Tool failures include it under `error.details.balance`, after any completed allowance refund. Validation and transport failures can occur before tool dispatch. If the balance read fails, data results and their original errors are preserved and the balance status is `unavailable`. A post-call snapshot can include concurrent activity, so differences between snapshots are not a per-query billing receipt. Hosts are instructed to report the returned balance and its freshness with results, without making a redundant balance call.
+
+OAuth catalogs include `get_balance`. Installation-based clients opt in with `X-GeoRanker-Balance-Tools: balance-v1`. Existing clients retain their exact catalogs. Updated clients validate the added tool and input schema during setup. Deploy the compatible hosted server before distributing these clients. Local direct-provider development mode has no hosted installation balance and returns `BALANCE_UNAVAILABLE` for this tool.

 On first enrollment, the client generates an Ed25519 signing identity and saves it with its installation credential. Both GeoRanker products reuse the existing directory under ~/.config/georanker-search-mcp/client/ for the same service origin. Private directories use mode 0700 and credential/identity files use mode 0600 where the operating system supports these modes. GEORANKER_STATE_DIR can select a different private storage location. The device signal is self-reported, not hardware attestation.
 
+The default service is https://mcp.georanker.com. During the migration from
+https://grmcp.ibl.ro, both approved origins deliberately use the original local
+identity namespace. Existing identity and credential state is retained, so the
+installation, account association and report ownership stay the same. If valid
+state exists only under the new origin, it is preserved and safely adopted into
+the shared namespace. Conflicting or corrupt state stops the client instead of
+being overwritten. Custom service origins remain separate.
+
 Keep this state private. Do not commit it, share it or delete it to evade allowances. A saved identity can recover a lost token without creating a new allowance. Revocation and account association are managed by the hosted service. Removing the MCP configuration stops the host from launching it; it does not automatically erase credentials or revoke an installation.
 
 The MCP cache defaults to seven days, subject to operator configuration. It is shared according to the service's account and request isolation, and should not be used for secret URLs or sensitive page content. forceLive: true requests fresh upstream work instead of a completed MCP cache hit. Source results remain untrusted content for the host AI to interpret.
