How does Cursor authenticate with Redbark?

Cursor authorises with OAuth 2.1 in the browser — you approve read-only access once, and there is no API key to paste.

What can the AI actually see?

Read-only access to your connected accounts, balances and transactions (and, on the Professional plan, brokerage holdings and trades). It can never move money or change your accounts.

Does Redbark store the data Cursor reads?

No. Each request is proxied live from your bank through the Redbark MCP server. Redbark stores consent records, encrypted tokens and minimal account metadata — never transaction amounts, descriptions or balances.

Which Redbark plan do I need for MCP access?

MCP access requires a Developer or Professional plan. Brokerage tools (holdings and trades) additionally require the Professional plan.

Global or per-project config?

Either. Use ~/.cursor/mcp.json to make Redbark available everywhere, or .cursor/mcp.json inside a project to scope it to that workspace.

Do I paste an API key into mcp.json?

No. The config only contains the server URL. Cursor handles the OAuth 2.1 sign-in for you, so no secret ever lives in the file.

Your bank data, in Cursor

Cursor reads the Redbark MCP server from your mcp.json and authorises with OAuth 2.1 in the browser. Its agent can then read your accounts, balances and transactions live as MCP tools while you build.

Get started

Connect Cursor in four steps

Connect your bank to Redbark

Sign up for Redbark and link your Australian bank accounts through CDR Open Banking. You consent at your bank — Redbark never sees your login.

Edit your MCP config

Add the Redbark server to ~/.cursor/mcp.json (global) or .cursor/mcp.json in your project, as shown below.

Authorise in Cursor

Open Settings → MCP. Cursor shows the redbark server — click it to sign in with OAuth 2.1 and approve read-only access.

Ask away

Ask Cursor’s agent about your balances or recent transactions. It reads live, read-only data on each request.
