What a connected app can do
A connected app acts on the account you signed in with.
Scraping tools follow the same credit rules as their
matching API endpoints and spend the balance of the account you signed in with.
Checking your balance with
billing_get_info does not consume credits.
Stay connected
You sign in once per client. The client renews its access in the background, so you are not asked to sign in again during normal use. If a client reports that its access is no longer valid, reconnect it and approve access again.Disconnect an app
Remove or disconnect Bridgly in the app’s own connector settings. In Claude Code, runclaude mcp remove bridgly.
