Use Clearday from Claude, Cursor or VS Code.

Connect the assistant you already use to your Clearday account. It reads your money through Clearday, and any change it suggests waits for your approval. It cannot move money.

app.clearday.money/api/mcp

The one address every app asks for.

Set up

Three apps, checked to work.

Clearday works with Claude, Cursor and VS Code. These steps follow each app’s own documentation.

Claude (claude.ai and Claude Desktop)

In Claude, open Customize, then Connectors.
Click “+ Add”, then “Add custom connector”.
Name it Clearday, paste the address, and click Continue.
Review the authentication settings, click Continue, then click Add.
Sign in to Clearday when asked, and choose what Claude may do.
In a chat, use the “+” button, then Connectors, to turn Clearday on.

On Team and Enterprise plans, an owner adds the connector in Organization settings, Connectors; members then connect it from Customize, Connectors.

Claude’s Free plan allows one custom connector.

Claude Code

Add Clearday with the first command below.
Run the second command and follow the steps in your browser: sign in to Clearday and choose what Claude Code may do.
Check the connection with /mcp inside Claude Code, or claude mcp list.

Terminal

claude mcp add --transport http --scope user clearday https://app.clearday.money/api/mcp
claude mcp login clearday

Cursor

Add Clearday to ~/.cursor/mcp.json to use it in every project, or to .cursor/mcp.json in one project.
When Cursor asks you to sign in, sign in to Clearday and choose what Cursor may do.
Clearday appears on Cursor’s Customize page, where its toggle turns it on or off.

~/.cursor/mcp.json

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "clearday": {
      "url": "https://app.clearday.money/api/mcp"
    }
  }
}

Cursor asks for your approval before it uses a tool, unless you change that setting.

From the app’s documentation: cursor.com

VS Code

Run “MCP: Add Server” from the Command Palette, or add Clearday to .vscode/mcp.json as below.
When VS Code asks whether to trust the server, confirm.
A browser window opens the first time it connects: sign in to Clearday and choose what VS Code may do.
Run “MCP: List Servers”, select Clearday and choose Start.
In the Chat view, “Configure Tools” lists Clearday’s tools; the agent uses them when a question needs them.

.vscode/mcp.json

{
  "servers": {
    "clearday": {
      "type": "http",
      "url": "https://app.clearday.money/api/mcp"
    }
  }
}

Sign-in

Every app sends you to Clearday to sign in. The app gets a key to your account, never your password. You pick one of three levels, and the app never gets more than it asked for:

Read only: See your accounts, transactions, bills, goals and plans.
Read and suggest changes: Also suggest changes. Nothing changes until you approve it in Clearday.
Read, suggest and approve: Also approve or undo its own low-risk suggestions without asking you. Bigger changes still wait for you in Clearday. Offered only if you signed in within the last 10 minutes.

A sign-in lasts 180 days. Connected apps work while your plan or free trial is active.

Access

What a connected app can see and do.

Read: Accounts and balances, transactions, what’s clear to spend today, upcoming bills and recurring charges, the cash flow forecast, debts and payoff scenarios, goals, rules, settings and the financial health report.
Suggest: Recategorize transactions, add notes and tags, create category rules and merchant names, update manual accounts and balances, add or change bills and goals, set planned debt payments and the daily allowance. Each suggestion waits for you in Clearday, expires after 24 hours, and an approved change can be undone for 7 days.
Approve: Only with the third level: approve or undo its own low-risk suggestions. Larger changes, such as recategorizing more than 25 transactions, and suggestions from other apps still wait for you.
Never: Move money. No connected app can move money, at any level.
Limits: Each app can make 120 requests a minute and 5,000 a day, and 60 changes an hour, with up to 50 suggestions waiting at once.

Connected apps get your real names and figures, and Clearday AI’s figure checks do not apply to what they say.

How connected apps work

Disconnect

Disconnect an app any time.

In Clearday, open Settings, then Connected apps, and choose Disconnect next to the app. It loses access on its next request. To use it again, connect it again and sign in.
