Check the Wingspan connection and report who it is signed in as. Run this after installing the plugin or after re-authorizing, or whenever you want to confirm Claude is reading the right Wingspan account.

Instructions only

Check the Wingspan connection

Call who_am_i. It takes no arguments and performs a real authenticated read, so a successful answer proves the whole connection works end to end.

Then report, in plain sentences:

Connected as — the person's email address, when the connection identifies an individual. No name is returned. An authorization granted through the browser identifies the company account rather than the individual, and the person comes back unavailable; say that it identifies the account, and do not present it as a problem.
Reading as — the account from account when present, otherwise the matching entry in accounts. actingAsAccountId is always null here, because who_am_i takes no accountId; ignore it.
Accounts reachable — the entries in accounts, by name, noting any that sit under a parent account. Mention that a tool can be pointed at one of them with its accountId if the user needs a different one. An empty accounts list is legitimate, not a fault.

Then say what the connection is for in one line: these tools read the contractors this account pays, what it owes them, and their onboarding paperwork, and they can create contractor records and draft payments after showing a preview. Paying, approving and anything requiring an extra identity challenge stay in the Wingspan app.

If it fails

Follow the troubleshooting-connection skill. In short: an authentication failure means re-authorizing through /mcp; no Wingspan tools at all means the server is not connected, and that skill says how to tell the two apart.

Using Wingspan Tools

wingspanHQ

The shared rules every Wingspan tool call follows: ids, paging, previewing a write, and what the tools cannot do. Load this before any Wingspan tool call, and whenever someone asks about the people they pay through Wingspan, what they owe, onboarding paperwork, invites, invoices or payments — for example "who do we pay", "what do we owe this month", "is this contractor ready to be paid", "add these contractors", "log a payment", "why has this not been paid".

Troubleshooting Connection

wingspanHQ

Diagnose Wingspan connection and permission problems. Use when a Wingspan tool returns an authentication or permission error, when the tools report nothing at all, when an answer looks like it came from the wrong company or the wrong account, or when someone asks "am I connected to Wingspan", "is my login still valid", "why can't Claude see my contractors", "why is this empty", "these are not my contractors".

Outstanding

wingspanHQ

List the contractors who have one named onboarding requirement outstanding, such as a W-9, a certificate of insurance or a background check. Run it with the requirement's name. It reports who has not finished the requirement; it does not confirm whose payments are blocked by it.

Onboarding Contractors

wingspanHQ

Add contractors to Wingspan, assign them to an existing engagement and send their invites. Use for "add these contractors", "onboard these people", "invite [name] to Wingspan", "create contractor records", "set up these five contractors", "invite this roster", "add them to the [engagement] engagement". Writes to the company's Wingspan account, so it always previews first.

Finding Contractors

wingspanHQ

Find, filter and inspect the contractors a company pays through Wingspan, including who still has onboarding paperwork outstanding. Use for "who do we pay", "list our contractors", "find [name]", "who has not signed up yet", "who is missing their W-9", "who is blocked by the certificate of insurance", "can we pay [name]", "what is [name]'s status", "who is on this engagement".

Creating Draft Payables

wingspanHQ

Create draft payables — new payment obligations to contractors — in Wingspan. Nothing is paid. Use for "log a payment", "pay [name] $500 for [work]", "record these payments", "add these payments to the [engagement] engagement", "create payables", "log 12 hours at $85 for [name]", "bill this month's work". Writes to the company's Wingspan account, so it always previews first.
