<h2>Connect and use</h2>

<p><a href="https://www.tooluse.net/tools/integrations/freelancer">Connect and use</a></p>
<p>Open the integration&#39;s connection form to check the available credential source. The source has not been resolved for this documentation export. The instructions below apply when using your own provider account.</p>
<h2>Get your provider credentials</h2>
<p>Follow these steps for Freelancer, then enter the issued values in the connection form below.</p>
<ol>
<li>Sign in to your own Freelancer production account and open Developer settings at <a href="https://accounts.freelancer.com/settings/develop">https://accounts.freelancer.com/settings/develop</a>. Generate a Personal Access Token for your own account; an OAuth application is not required for this route. Freelancer allows one active token per environment and personal tokens expire after 30 days, so renew it here when necessary. In Tooluse.net, open My tools &gt; Freelancer &gt; Use my provider credentials, paste the production token into Freelancer personal access token, select the read commands and save. Sandbox tokens are not supported. This connection reads your profile and one page of active project summaries; it does not bid or request access to other users through managed OAuth.</li>
</ol>
<p><a href="https://accounts.freelancer.com/settings/develop">Official credential setup</a></p>
<h2>Where to enter credentials</h2>
<p>In the integration page, sign in, choose your workspace and open Connect. If a <strong>Credentials</strong> choice is shown, select <strong>Use my credentials</strong>. Fill the following connection fields and save. Provider credentials belong in this form, never in an MCP configuration or tool input.</p>

</div><p>Open API keys and create a Tooluse.net key for the enabled commands.</p>
<p>Set TOOLUSE_API_KEY in your client and use the shared MCP configuration.</p>
<p><a href="https://help.tooluse.net/clients">Configure Claude Code, Codex or Cursor once</a></p>

<h2>Permissions and results</h2>

<p>If you have more than one workspace, check the selected workspace in the connection or API-key dialog before saving. Roles, enabled commands, expiry and revocation use Tooluse.net&#39;s existing permissions. Disabling a connection or revoking a key immediately prevents new calls.</p>

<p>Send one Claude tool_use block per request. Keep the same Idempotency-Key when retrying the same request; use a new key for a new call. The response includes the shared Tooluse.net receipt and Claude tool_result. Check both HTTP status and the returned tool result before treating a call as successful.</p>

<p>Your connection&#39;s daily allowance and key permissions also apply. Adding a connection does not make a provider request.</p>

<p>Calls return the shared execution receipt and a Claude tool_result. Provider output varies by operation; consult the provider documentation for its response fields. Unconfirmed calls should be checked before retrying.</p>

<h2>Call from your client</h2>

<p>Use the shared MCP configuration. Refresh your client&#39;s tool list after saving the connection or changing key permissions, then call the returned tool name with the example input below.</p>

<p><a href="https://help.tooluse.net/clients">Configure Claude Code, Codex or Cursor once</a></p>

<h2>Discover your enabled tools</h2>

<p>List permitted tools in Claude format. Read every page using page and size (maximum 100) until all results have been received. Use the returned name, not a catalog capability identifier, in the tool_use block.</p>

<pre><code class="language-bash">curl 'https://api.tooluse.net/v1/tools' \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer $TOOLUSE_API_KEY"
</code></pre>

<p>Find this command in the tool list permitted by your key. Replace svc_FROM_YOUR_TOOL_LIST with its returned name. Use a new Idempotency-Key for each new call and retain it when retrying that same call.</p>

<h2>HTTP call</h2>

<pre><code class="language-bash">curl 'https://api.tooluse.net/v1/tool-calls' \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer $TOOLUSE_API_KEY" \
  -H 'Content-Type: application/json' \
  -H 'Idempotency-Key: replace-with-a-new-call-id' \
  --data '{
  "type": "tool_use",
  "id": "toolu_example",
  "name": "svc_FROM_YOUR_TOOL_LIST",
  "input": {}
}'
</code></pre>

<p>Send one Claude tool_use block per request. Keep the same Idempotency-Key when retrying the same request; use a new key for a new call. The response includes the shared Tooluse.net receipt and Claude tool_result. Check both HTTP status and the returned tool result before treating a call as successful.</p>

Refresh your client&#39;s tool list, use the returned tool name, and check the execution result and usage. Provider charges and permissions still apply. Never test a write against production data without reviewing it.</p>
