Quickstart

Welcome to the Ascend GTM Ops platform docs. This page is the five-minute entry point for any agent (human or AI) opening the repo for the first time.

What this repo is

The Ascend GTM Ops platform delivers GTM automation for Ascend and its agency-managed tenants. Runtime is 100% on the Cloudflare edge — Workers + KV + D1 + Vectorize + R2 + AI Gateway.

Canonical stack reference: docs/CURRENT-STACK.md. If anything in this site conflicts with that file, that file wins.

The three MCP surfaces

SurfaceUse forAuth
Composio (pr_8AjnN9gdcrYt Ascend / pr_ZMOhNqFRKhVj Kahuna)OAuth SaaS — HubSpot, Salesforce, Google, Slack, Gong, Apollo, SEMrush, Gamma, QuickBooks, Vercel, etc.x-consumer-api-key
Pipedream ConnectSaaS gap-fill where Composio doesn’t cover (currently Google Tag Manager). Per ADR-061.Workspace OAuth Bearer minted per call
ascend-side-channelStateless LLM + AWS — llm_invoke, claude, web_fetch, perplexity_search, aws_bedrock_invoke, aws_ses_send, aws_textract.Authorization: Bearer $ASCEND_GATEWAY_TOKEN

V5 (ascend-gateway-v5) is retired as of 2026-05-20 per ADR-065. Do not call its endpoints.

Pick the right MCP

Look up the toolkit in the toolkit registry. The vendor column tells you which MCP server to call:

  • COMPOSIOmcp__composio-{tenant}__*
  • PIPEDREAMmcp__pipedream-{toolkit}-{tenant}__*
  • (V5_CALL_API entries are historical — the Worker is retired.)

If the toolkit isn’t listed, treat it as a gap and file under ADR-058 Path 2 (defaults to Pipedream Connect per ADR-061).

The five carry-forward invariants

Post-V5, the canonical invariants collapse to:

  1. Composio owns OAuth end-to-end for every SaaS toolkit it covers. Pipedream Connect is the sanctioned gap-fill.
  2. Fail-fast, no retries in the request path. 30s AbortController timeout on every outbound fetch.
  3. OAuth 2.1 + Streamable HTTP on every MCP surface (spec 2025-11-25). No SSE.
  4. Every LLM call routes through AI Gateway (ascend-prod). Background/cron defaults to DeepSeek.
  5. Sources of truth: KV (config), D1 (audit), Vectorize (facts-embedded), R2 (backups), GitHub (code), Composio (OAuth), Mem0 (memory). No others without an ADR.

Editing docs

Read the doc-platform skill at .claude/skills/doc-platform/SKILL.md before adding or changing any doc. It covers frontmatter schema (check #26), last_verified refresh (check #27), AGENTS.md regeneration (check #28), and semantic-drift CI (check #31).
