Markdown twin of that page. Append `.md` to any Orla page URL to get one.

VS Code takes MCP servers in .vscode/mcp.json under a servers key, or from the command line. A remote one names its type.

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

#### A servers entry that names its type

The same object works in the workspace file, in your user configuration or on the command line.

- Per workspace: .vscode/mcp.json, committed with the project, so everyone who opens it is offered the same server and signs in as themselves.
- Or for you: Command palette, MCP: Open User Configuration.
- Or from a shell: code --add-mcp with the same object on one line.
- Sign in: Orla's consent page opens in the browser on the first call.

```
{
  "servers": {
    "orla": {
      "type": "http",
      "url": "https://app.orla.finance/api/mcp/personal"
    }
  }
}
```

The key is "servers", not "mcpServers". For a local bridge, drop the type and give "command": "npx", "args": ["-y", "orla-cli", "mcp"].

#### Ask in the chat panel, next to the diff

- What does this repository's hosting cost a month?
- Which subscriptions renewed this week?
- What does the VAT report say for this quarter?
- Book the domain renewal to Software.

#### 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.
