How to Use the Increase MCP in Cursor

Q: How do I add the Increase MCP server to my Cursor setup?

You add the configuration details to your project-level .cursor/mcp.json file. The editor automatically spins up the connection, giving the agent instant access to the banking tools.

Q: How does Cursor display my Increase ledger balances?

The agent uses increasegetbalance to fetch the real-time numbers and prints them directly in your chat or terminal window. You can ask the agent to format these balances as JSON or Markdown tables.

Q: Can I write code to automate card creation?

The increasecreatecard tool allows the agent to generate new card objects while you write your provisioning microservice. You get the exact response structure to paste directly into your code.

Write banking code in Cursor using live ledger balances and real-time transaction data.

Perplexity

Generate real bank details in your editor

The `increase_create_routing_number` tool provisions official ABA routing and account numbers directly inside your Cursor workspace. Your agent calls this tool to generate real banking credentials for your database migrations or test scripts. Instead of coding with dummy strings, your development environment receives actual active numbers. This ensures your ledger routing logic works perfectly before you commit the code.

Audit outbound transfers during development

The `increase_list_transfers` tool pulls your outgoing payment history straight into your active coding session. Your agent reads this output to verify that your transaction reconciliation scripts parse the data fields correctly. You can pair this with `increase_list_transactions` to compare pending transfers against booked ledger entries. Writing financial reconciliation software becomes much faster when your editor has live access to the ledger.

Test wire workflows with Cursor and this MCP Server

You can mock inbound cash flows using the `increase_simulate_inbound_wire` tool inside your Cursor agent chat. This MCP tool lets you test how your application reacts to sudden incoming funds without risking real capital. The tool instantly triggers a simulated wire in your sandbox environment. Your agent can then immediately run validation code to ensure your webhooks process the incoming transfer.
