  notes: >-
    Authentication to the Instawork Partner MCP server is OAuth 2.1 with PKCE
    (S256) and dynamic client registration (RFC 7591). Partners log in with
    their Instawork business-partner credentials and grant consent on first use.
    No public REST API or API-key surface is documented; the MCP server is the
    partner integration surface.
