# Connect Cursor to PineBill

> Install PineBill in Cursor with one click to track time and bill clients without leaving your editor.

Cursor is an AI code editor. PineBill's MCP server lets Cursor work with your PineBill invoices, estimates, customers, products, expenses, projects, tasks, timers, calendar and reports.

Server URL: https://www.pinebill.app/api/mcp (remote MCP over Streamable HTTP, OAuth 2.1 sign-in, no API key).

## Setup

1. Click Add to Cursor, or add the config below to ~/.cursor/mcp.json.
2. Cursor shows Needs login next to PineBill. Click it and sign in.
3. Choose your access and click Allow access.

~/.cursor/mcp.json:

```
{
  "mcpServers": {
    "pinebill": {
      "url": "https://www.pinebill.app/api/mcp"
    }
  }
}
```

## Try asking

- “Start the timer on the API integration task.”
- “Stop my timer and tell me how long I've spent on it this week.”
- “Invoice Acme for this week's tracked hours.”

## Access and cost

- You choose view only or view and edit on the PineBill consent screen when you sign in.
- Cursor acts as you: your PineBill role and plan limits still apply, and Guests are always view only.
- Disconnect Cursor at any time in Settings → Connect MCPs; it loses access on its next request.
- Working through MCP doesn't use PineBill AI credits.
