Code against ClearBank in Cursor

The agent can call `clearbank_create_faster_payment` to test your payment logic in real-time. It injects the actual API response into your editor, letting you see exactly how the integration behaves. Stop relying on static mocks. Use `clearbank_get_transactions` to feed real ledger data into your development environment while you write your functions.

Manage ClearBank ledgers via Cursor

Use `clearbank_get_accounts` to map out your infrastructure within your project files. The agent reads the output and helps you structure your code to handle multiple virtual accounts. Need to verify a balance before a commit? Call `clearbank_get_account_balances` directly from the chat. It gives you the live context you need to write accurate financial code.

Automate ClearBank safety in Cursor

Add logic to your codebase that triggers `clearbank_suspend_account` when specific thresholds are breached. The agent writes the implementation for you, calling the tool to verify the lock. Create new accounts on the fly with `clearbank_create_account` during your build process. It keeps your development cycle moving without manual ledger provisioning.

Setup guide

Set up ClearBank MCP in Cursor

Prerequisites

Cursor installed (macOS, Windows, or Linux)
Active Vinkius subscription with a valid endpoint token

1

Open MCP Settings

Go to Cursor Settings → MCP or open the Command Palette (Cmd+Shift+P / Ctrl+Shift+P) and search for "MCP: Add Server".
2

Add the ClearBank MCP

Cursor will create or open .cursor/mcp.json in your project root. Paste the JSON snippet on the right. Replace [YOUR_TOKEN_HERE] with your endpoint token from cloud.vinkius.com.
3

Enable Agent mode

Open Composer (Cmd+I / Ctrl+I) and switch to Agent mode using the dropdown at the top. MCP tools are only available in Agent mode.
4

Verify the connection

Ask Cursor something like "List my recent ClearBank transactions." If the MCP tools are loaded correctly, Cursor will call the ClearBank tools automatically. You can also check Settings → MCP for a green status indicator.

.cursor/mcp.json

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "clearbank-mcp": {
      "url": "https://edge.vinkius.com/[YOUR_TOKEN_HERE]/mcp"

Common questions about ClearBank MCP in Cursor

Create an mcp.json file in your project root. Add the server configuration to the mcpServers list, and then enable Agent mode in your editor.

You can. The agent allows you to trigger payment tools directly, so you can debug your code against live transaction results.

It does. Once the server is defined in your config, the Agent can invoke tools automatically to fetch ledger data or initiate transfers based on your code.

Your keys are handled via a secure endpoint token. The editor acts as a thin client, meaning your raw banking credentials never sit in your local source code.

The agent only sees the ledger balances and payment status logs you request. This sensitive financial information is restricted to the active chat context only.
