Install & connect

Connecting takes about a minute: add the server URL to your client, then sign in with your Liminal account in the browser. No keys to copy, nothing to configure.

Server URL

https://api.liminal.cash/mcp

Add the server

Pick your client:

Claude Code

Run:

claude mcp add --transport http liminal https://api.liminal.cash/mcp

Then start the sign-in flow:

/mcp

Claude opens your browser to connect. When you’re done, check it:

claude mcp list

You should see liminal marked Connected.

Claude Desktop

1. Open Settings → Connectors.
2. Click Add custom connector.
3. Set the URL to https://api.liminal.cash/mcp. Leave headers empty.
4. Save — Claude opens your browser to sign in.

Cursor

Add Liminal to ~/.cursor/mcp.json:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "liminal": {
      "url": "https://api.liminal.cash/mcp"
    }
  }
}

Reopen Cursor’s MCP settings and sign in when prompted.

VS Code

Add Liminal to .vscode/mcp.json:

{
  "servers": {
    "liminal": {
      "type": "http",
      "url": "https://api.liminal.cash/mcp"
    }
  }
}

Opgepast

Keep "type": "http". A url entry with no type is treated as a local (stdio) server and silently ignored — the most common reason a remote server “doesn’t show up”.

Any client

For a client without native remote-server support, use the mcp-remote bridge:

npx mcp-remote https://api.liminal.cash/mcp

Sign in

The first time you connect, your client opens a browser window:

1. Sign in with your Liminal email — one click if you’re already signed in on that browser.
2. Choose what to allow: reading your account, using Nim’s memory, and/or taking actions (payments, trades, savings).
3. That’s it — you’re connected. Your client remembers the connection.

Connect read-only

If you only want your assistant to look, not touch, grant just read access at the sign-in screen and leave actions unchecked. Your assistant can answer questions about your money but can’t draft any payments or trades. You can reconnect later and allow more.

Disconnect

You’re always in control:

• Revoke access any time from the Liminal app — it stops working on the next request.
• Or remove the server from your client (e.g. claude mcp remove liminal).

Next

• Permissions & approvals — what each permission covers and how money moves only with your approval.
• What you can do — everything you can ask for.
