Claude Code

One command, and the terminal can read your books.

Claude Code speaks remote MCP directly. Nothing to install and no key to paste: the browser opens on Orla's consent page.

Works on the free plan. A personal connection takes none of the agent seats.

Connecting Claude Code

One. Add the serverFrom any project, or with --scope user to have it everywhereone command

Two. AuthenticateRun /mcp inside Claude Code and pick Orla; the browser does the restonce

Three. Ask it something“What did I spend on hosting last quarter?” against real rowsimmediately

What you approve on Orla's pageWhich spaces this client reaches, and nothing else to fill in

The configuration

# the remote server, no package to install claude mcp add --transport http orla \ https://app.orla.finance/api/mcp # then, inside Claude Code /mcp

If the menus have moved, Claude Code's MCP documentation is the version that is current for the client itself.

The boundary

It reads and records. It does not pay.

An agent that pays is a different connection.

What it readsEverything you can read in the spaces you ticked, and nothing outside themyour rows

What it writesTransactions, categories, payees and notes, straight away rather than into a queueyour books

What it cannot doPay anyone. The payment tools are not in the list it is given, and are refused by namenever

What it costsNothing, and it takes none of the connected agent seats in your planfree plan too

How it endsAgents, then revoke. Every client connected this way stops at onceone click

Other clients

A second client joins the same connection, not another one.

A custom connector in Settings, nothing to install.

One entry in mcp.json, globally or in the repository.

One entry under servers, or one code --add-mcp line.

One entry under context_servers in settings.json.

One entry with serverUrl in the Codeium config.

The CLI itself, and a stdio bridge for clients without HTTP.

Start

The client is open source and reads what it is given: github.com/cheetah-trade/orla-cli.
