Frequently asked questions
Can I view balances and recent transactions?
Yes. You can query balances for all accounts and list recent incoming/outgoing transactions.
How does Mercury authentication work?
Mercury uses a Bearer token (API Token) against api.mercury.com/api/v1. Tokens must be generated with read-only scopes.
Can I initiate money transfers via the API?
The standard API token allows read-only access to balances and transactions for security reasons.
How do I add an MCP server to Claude Code?
Run claude mcp add --transport http "" in your terminal. Claude Code registers the server and discovers all tools immediately.
Can Claude Code run MCP tools in headless mode?
Yes. Claude Code supports non-interactive execution, making it ideal for scripts, cron jobs, and CI/CD pipelines that need MCP tool access.
