How do I get my BILL Developer Key?

Log in to your BILL account as an administrator at **app.bill.com**. Navigate to **Settings → Sync & Integrations → Manage Developer Keys**. Click **Generate developer key**, accept the Terms of Service, and click **Generate key**. You will also find your **Organization ID** (starts with '008') on this same page. Copy both values and paste them into the configuration below.

Can my AI agent approve invoices and trigger payment runs?

Yes. Your AI agent can list pending invoices, review line-item details, and update approval statuses — all through natural conversation. It follows the same approval workflow rules configured in your BILL account, so no invoice gets paid without proper authorization. Payment operations respect your existing role-based permissions.

How do I quickly check which invoices are overdue during a financial review?

Just ask your AI agent 'Show me all overdue invoices.' It pulls your invoice list filtered by past-due status, showing vendor name, amount, due date, and days overdue — giving you actionable data in seconds without generating reports or exporting spreadsheets.

Can multiple team members use this with different permission levels?

Yes. BILL supports up to four developer keys per account. Each key inherits the permissions of the user who generated it. Finance managers can have full read-write access while auditors operate in read-only mode — ideal for growing companies, accounting firms, and multi-entity organizations.

Bill.com + Cursor FAQ

Common questions about integrating Bill.com MCP Server with Cursor.

What is Agent mode and why does it matter for MCP?

Agent mode is Cursor's autonomous execution mode where the AI can perform multi-step tasks: reading files, editing code, running terminal commands, and calling MCP tools. Without Agent mode, Cursor operates in a simpler ask-and-answer mode that doesn't support tool calling. Always ensure you're in Agent mode when working with MCP servers.

Where does Cursor store MCP configuration?

Cursor looks for MCP server configurations in a mcp.json file. You can configure servers at the project level (.cursor/mcp.json in your project root) or globally (~/.cursor/mcp.json). Project-level configs take precedence.

Can Cursor use MCP tools in inline edits?

No. MCP tools are only available in Agent mode through the chat panel. Inline completions and Tab suggestions do not trigger MCP tool calls. This is by design. tool calls require user visibility and approval.

How do I verify MCP tools are loaded?

Open Settings → Features → MCP and look for your server name. A green indicator means the server is connected. You can also check Agent mode's available tools by clicking the tools dropdown in the chat panel.
