Overview

MCP is an open protocol that standardizes how apps and services can securely communicate context to large language models, or LLMs. MCP provides a standardized way to connect AI models to different data sources and tools.

Think of it this way: MCP enables Orum to give you a simple way to use conversational interactions between our APIs and the AI tools you’re already using.

Steps

1

Generate API Credentials

Before any interaction with the API or Claude configuration, you’ll need to generate credentials:

  1. Log in to Orum Monitor (sandbox)
  2. Go to Developer Tools → API Authentication
  3. Click Generate New Credentials
  4. Save the client_id and client_secret. The secret is only shown once.

These credentials will be used by Claude to authenticate all API requests.

2

Configure Claude Desktop

  1. Ensure Claude Desktop is installed

  2. Create or update your .claude/config.json file with the following:

    
{
  "mcpServers": {
    "orum-openapi-mcp-server": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": [
        "-y",
        "@orum-io/openapi-mcp-server"
      ],
      "env": {
        "OAUTH_CLIENT_ID_OAUTH2": "<client_id>",
        "OAUTH_CLIENT_SECRET_OAUTH2": "<client_secret>"
      }
    }
  }
}

    Replace <client_id> and <client_secret> with the values from Step 1.

Claude will automatically use these credentials to authenticate with Orum’s API. It performs the OAuth flow under the hood, requests a token using the client_id and client_secret, and uses the returned token in all subsequent API requests. No manual token handling is needed.

3

Start Prompting

You can ask Claude to do a variety of tasks. Here are some ideas to get you started:

  • Create a person
  • Asociate a bank account with person
  • Schedule a recurring transfer
  • Create webhooks
  • Analyize transfer activity for reporting (e.g., Over the past 60 days, what is the total value of RTP debits from our balance?)
