# The books that pay for the code, beside it

URL: https://www.orla.finance/en/mcp-cursor
Markdown twin of that page. Append `.md` to any Orla page URL to get one.

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

#### 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.

- 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.

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

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

#### What the project costs, asked beside the code

- What have I paid this vendor since January?
- What did this project cost in subscriptions last month?
- Who owes us money, and how old is it?
- Can I afford the annual plan? Draft nothing.

#### It reads and records. It does not pay

- 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.
