Cursor

The books that pay for the code, beside it

What a project costs you and the repository it runs in are usually open at once. Cursor reads the ledger the way it reads the project.

Server URL: https://app.orla.finance/api/mcp/personal

Setup

An entry in mcp.json, for you or for one repository

Cursor keeps its servers under mcpServers, and a remote one needs nothing but its url.

The steps

Where it lives: mcp.json, either your own for every project or the repository's for this one, with the URL https://app.orla.finance/api/mcp/personal.
Approve the spaces: On Orla's consent page, when the first question is asked.
Only stdio servers?: Run ours through the CLI instead: npx orla-cli login on the machine, and the entry becomes a command.

mcp.json

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "orla": {
      "url": "https://app.orla.finance/api/mcp/personal"
    }
  }
}

For a local bridge instead, give "command": "npx", "args": ["-y", "orla-cli", "mcp"].

What to ask

Every figure comes from your own books, and is recomputed each time you ask.

Consent page, in Claude

You tick which spaces the client may reach, and one row in the app revokes it later. Card numbers and IBANs stay masked unless you switch that on.

The boundary

An agent that pays is a different connection, with its own wallet and its own limits.

What it cannot do: Pay anyone. The payment tools are not in the list it is given, and are refused by name if asked.
What it costs: Nothing, and it takes none of the agent seats in your plan. Reading is unmetered; what it records comes out of your plan's monthly allowance of agent writes, and the free plan has a small one.

Other clients

Claude →: A custom connector in Settings, nothing to install.
Claude Code →: One command in the terminal, then /mcp to sign in.
VS Code →: One entry under servers, or one code --add-mcp line.
Zed →: One entry under context_servers in settings.json.
Windsurf →: One entry with serverUrl in the Codeium config.
Terminal →: The CLI itself, and a stdio bridge for clients without HTTP.
Any agent →: A skill file the agent reads itself: one install, every client.
