Authentication Flow

The first time you use any Zerodha functionality, Claude will:

1. Start a local server on port 5000
2. Open a browser window for Zerodha login
3. After successful login, store the access token for future sessions

Your session will remain active until the token expires (typically 24 hours). When the token expires, Claude will automatically initiate the login flow again.
