# One file that teaches the agent the door, and where it ends.

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

Clients differ; the agent behind them does not. The skill names the commands, the JSON envelope, the exit codes and the one rule that paying waits for a person. An agent reads it once instead of guessing.

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

#### Setup

- Install the skill: npx skills add cheetah-trade/orla-cli puts it where your agent looks. Claude Code takes it as a plugin, with four bookkeeping skills beside it and the personal MCP connection they run on.
- Or just read it: orla.finance/skill.md is the same file the package ships, served from the published version.
- Then sign in once: The first orla command opens the browser on Orla's consent page. The skill tells the agent to stop and wait for you there.

```
# the skills CLI, into any agent it knows

# Claude Code: the skill and the MCP server as one plugin

The skill covers both doors: what a personal connection reads and records, and what an agent with a key of its own may do inside its ceilings. It says in plain words that only an executed payment with a reference means the money left.

#### What to ask

- Record yesterday's 40 EUR taxi to Transport, and tell me the id.
- Which of my spaces does this connection reach?
- Export August as CSV for the accountant.

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

- What it reads: Everything you can read in the spaces you ticked, and nothing outside them.
- What it writes: Transactions, categories, payees and notes, written straight away.
- 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.
