## 🔧 Installation

### Prerequisites
- An Upwork account with API access
- Claude Code installed
- Your Upwork API credentials (Key, Secret, Access Token)

### Getting API Credentials

1. **Create an Upwork App**:
   - Go to [Upwork Developers](https://developers.upwork.com/)
   - Create a new app to get your API Key and Secret
   - Request API access if you haven't already

2. **OAuth 2.0 Flow**:
   - Use the API Key and Secret to initiate OAuth 2.0 flow
   - Get the Access Token after user authorization
   - Store the Access Token securely

### Environment Variables

No environment variables are required! OAuth tokens are automatically fetched from AWS Secrets Manager.

### AWS Secrets Manager Setup

The server expects OAuth tokens to be stored in AWS Secrets Manager:

1. **Secret Names**:
   - `upwork-oauth-tokens` - Freelancer account tokens
   - `upwork-oauth-tokens-agency` - Agency account tokens (optional)

2. **Secret Format**:
   ```json
   {
     "access_token": "...",
     "refresh_token": "...",
     "expires_in": 86400,
     "token_type": "Bearer",
     "obtained_at": "2024-..."
   }
   ```

3. **AWS Region**: `us-east-1`

4. **External Token Management**: Token refresh is handled by your external Lambda function
