## Install

**Verdict: install** — No blocking findings and no open coverage gaps — safe to install as configured.
**Config** (claude-code):
```json
"{\n  \"mcpServers\": {\n    \"freshbooks\": {\n      \"command\": \"npx\",\n      \"args\": [\n        \"-y\",\n        \"@chrischall/freshbooks-mcp\"\n      ],\n      \"env\": {\n        \"FRESHBOOKS_CLIENT_SECRET\": \"<YOUR_FRESHBOOKS_CLIENT_SECRET>\",\n        \"FRESHBOOKS_REFRESH_TOKEN\": \"<YOUR_FRESHBOOKS_REFRESH_TOKEN>\"\n      }\n    }\n  }\n}"
```
**Credentials it will ask for** (names only — Forge never holds a value):
- `FRESHBOOKS_CLIENT_SECRET` — Freshbooks Client Secret (required)
- `FRESHBOOKS_REFRESH_TOKEN` — Freshbooks Refresh Token (optional)
Placeholders only. Forge never holds, brokers, or transmits a credential value — replace each <YOUR_NAME> in your own config file. Do not send a value back to Forge; no Forge endpoint accepts one.
- This entry needs 2 credentials (1 required). The generated config carries placeholders, so it will fail in the editor rather than at runtime if they are left unset.

## Blast radius

Moderate blast radius — holds an oauth grant; runs on your machine.
- Floor 30, ceiling 30 (tier: moderate)
- This is impact, not likelihood. A high radius is not a defect: a filesystem server is supposed to write files. It is never part of the trust score.
