 To build quotes you need `quotes:write` plus the three lookups a quote is
 assembled from: `companies:read` (the client), `projects:read` (the project) and
-`transaction_accounts:read` (the chart of accounts each line bills to).
+`transaction_accounts:read` (the chart of accounts each line bills to — the same
+scope also covers the account's tax codes).
 
 **Keep the token secret.** It sits in plain text in your client's config file, and
 anyone who can read that file can read your account data. Revoke tokens you no
 longer use from the same settings page.
 
+## Multiple accounts
+
+A token is bound to one account, so you connect several accounts by registering **one
+server entry per account**, each with its own token and a distinct name
+(`beeswax-acme`, `beeswax-steamuk`, …). Tools are namespaced by server name, so the
+agent picks the account by picking the tool.
+
+In Claude Desktop the one-click `.mcpb` extension and manual
+`claude_desktop_config.json` entries can be enabled side by side. Two things catch
+people out. A freshly installed extension is **disabled** until you flip the toggle at
+the top of its settings — saving the token does not enable it, and while it is
+disabled it exposes no tools at all. And the config file is read only at launch, so
+adding an entry or changing a token in one needs a **full restart** of the app; a
+Cowork or cloud session already linked to your computer needs that restart *and* a
+re-link before it sees the change. The Connectors screen, the naming trade-offs and
+the Cowork details are in the setup guide:
