# Automate Stunt Double from Claude [#automate-stunt-double-from-claude]

This tutorial connects Claude and uses it to run your workspace from a
conversation. The **[MCP server](/mcp)** pages cover authentication and every
tool.

## Connect Claude to your workspace [#connect-claude-to-your-workspace]

Follow **[Connect](/mcp/connect)** for Claude Desktop, or the
**[Claude](/mcp/clients/claude)** and **[Claude Code](/mcp/clients/claude-code)**
pages. The first time Claude calls a tool, it runs the OAuth flow and asks you
to sign in to your workspace. Once you approve, Claude can list and call tools
on your behalf for the rest of the session.

## What you can ask Claude to do [#what-you-can-ask-claude-to-do]

With the server connected, you can drive most of the platform in plain
language instead of clicking through the dashboard:

- "Run the checklist for our signup flow and tell me if anything failed."
- "Create an actor for a first-time free-trial user and give it browser
  access."
- "Launch a new round of our onboarding interview and summarize the top
  themes."
- "List the workflows that ran in the last day and flag any failures."

Claude translates each request into the appropriate tool calls, actors,
checklists, workflows, interviews, and reads back the result.

## Scope tokens to least privilege [#scope-tokens-to-least-privilege]

Grant only the scopes a given client needs. There are three: `mcp:read` to
read a workspace, `mcp:write` to create and edit, and `mcp:run` to start runs.
A client that only reports on results needs `mcp:read`, and nothing more. A
client that requests no scope gets all three. See
**[authentication](/mcp#authentication)** for what each covers.

  for automations that don't need a human in the loop at all.
- **[API overview](/api)**, for driving Stunt Double from your
  own tools instead of Claude.
