+For local agents and other compatible services, use **https://study.wicker.life/api/mcp**

+is needed. The client manages credentials after the user signs in and approves access.

+### Replace an existing package registration
+
+Before running the hosted commands above, remove the existing entry:
+
+```sh
+# Codex
+codex mcp remove wicker-study
+
+# Claude Code: use the scope where the old entry was installed
+claude mcp remove --scope user wicker-study
+```
+
+For Claude project/local installations, use that same scope when removing and adding the
+connection. Preserve any custom settings still needed and check project overrides.
+This changes client configuration, not account data. Old package keys are not used by OAuth
+and are not automatically revoked; revoke unused keys in Settings → API access.
+
+Verify with `wicker_status`, `wicker_guidance` and `list_courses`. Hosted updates require a
+reconnection to refresh tools and guidance, not an npm or separate skill update. An optional
+installed skill is only a discovery hint. Revoke OAuth access at
+[Connected services](https://study.wicker.life/connect/remote).
+
+Other clients need Streamable HTTP and OAuth dynamic registration with PKCE, or support for
+an existing scoped key in `Authorization: Bearer wsk_…`. Keep credentials out of URLs and chat.
+See [the hosted MCP guide](../docs/REMOTE_MCP.md) for protocol details and limits, and the official
+[Codex](https://developers.openai.com/codex/mcp) and
+[Claude Code](https://code.claude.com/docs/en/mcp) client instructions.
+
+### Does local work require the package?
+
+No. An agent with shell/file access can inspect folders, extract PDFs, render slides, verify
+hashes and generate content using its own tools. Hosted `study_generation_*` tools provide
+current prompts, evidence and schemas, and accept locally computed results. The transport
+does not decide where model computation runs.
+
+Keep the package as the optional **admin toolkit**: it retains editorial operations,
+course-folder inventory/sync and bulk Canvas imports. Existing helper users remain supported.
+Students and ordinary agents should use hosted MCP and their native file/processing tools.
+
+For complete originals, call `prepare_original_download` with an asset ID from
+`canvas_course_materials`. It returns the direct HTTPS URL, a short-lived file-scoped header,
+size, SHA-256 and expiry. Stream the response with native HTTP/file tools into a new temporary
+file, verify its complete size/hash, then rename it to a safe chosen path. Resume with Range
+and the supplied If-Match; request a new descriptor for the same asset/hash after expiry.
+This works without the npm helper and keeps binary bytes outside MCP text-token budgets.
+
+The temporary header authorizes only that original, not other files or account actions.
+Keep it out of chat, logs and shell history; do not follow redirects or forward it elsewhere.
+Do not extract the client’s OAuth token or request Canvas credentials. A native file tool
+alone does not supply authenticated access; the server supplies the narrowly scoped transfer.
+`read_original_chunk` remains a fallback for clients unable to perform direct downloads.
+Direct transfers have their own request, concurrency and byte limits.
+
+## Optional local package setup
+
+Use the package for the helper workflows described above. It requires Node.js 20.11 or newer.
+Register it as a stdio server below, then let `wicker_authorize` open browser approval when no
+saved key exists. No key needs to be pasted into the agent conversation.

 ### Complete original downloads and remembered context
 
+Prefer `prepare_original_download` with native HTTP/file tools on either connection. It provides a resumable direct transfer without exposing account credentials or putting binary bytes into MCP results. The helper below remains available for existing local clients.
+
 Use `canvas_course_materials` to choose an exact asset/course/year, then call `download_course_original({assetId, courseCode, academicYear, outputFolder})`. The MCP streams the full stored original to a new private local subfolder and returns its path, size and SHA-256 only after verifying the complete file. PDFs, slide decks, images, spreadsheets and archives retain their original bytes. Existing files are never overwritten. Failed or incomplete downloads are removed. The maximum is 1 GB per file; larger files remain available through the authenticated web download. A remote MCP's filesystem may not be accessible to its client. This tool uses read scope and never scrapes Canvas or sends file bytes into the chat.
 
-The companion skill now proactively notices lasting preferences, project decisions, constraints and availability during normal discussions. It reads `tutor_sources` to avoid duplicates, prepares the exact new context, and asks for confirmation before saving with `tutor_confirm_update`.

-   to the user and ask them to open it and approve. The key is delivered
-   straight back to their machine over loopback and saved in
-   `~/.config/wicker-study/config.json` (mode 0600), so every later session on

-   Ask for `["read","write"]` unless the user maintains course content, in which
-   case ask for `admin` too — only administrators can approve it.
