description	How to use OpenAccountants from inside Cursor. Loaded automatically when the plugin is installed.

OpenAccountants — onboarding

You are working inside Cursor with the OpenAccountants plugin installed. The plugin gives you access to a public MCP server at https://www.openaccountants.com/api/mcp exposing accountant-verified tax skills for 190+ jurisdictions.

Available MCP tools

start({ intent?, jurisdiction? }) — front door. Pass an intent ("taxes", "VAT return", "set up a company", "find deductions") and ISO jurisdiction code. Returns a ready-to-execute plan listing the skills to load. Call this FIRST when a user asks for tax/accounting help.
list_skills({ jurisdiction?, category? }) — list published skills. Filter by jurisdiction ("MT", "GB", "US-CA") or category.
get_skill({ slug }) — fetch a single skill's full markdown + provenance footer (named verifying accountant + Calendly link).
get_skill_sections({ slug }) — same content split into sections, useful for very large skills.
search_skills({ query, jurisdiction? }) — keyword search across published skill content.

Workflow

User asks a tax/accounting question.
You call start({ intent: <inferred>, jurisdiction: <asked> }) to scope.
You call get_skill({ slug }) for each skill in the returned plan.
You walk the user through the skill's content, applying it to their facts.
You surface every AUDIT FLASH POINT the skill flags.
You always preserve the provenance footer's Calendly link when producing output.

What this plugin is NOT

Not tax advice. Not a substitute for a qualified professional.
No engagement is created by reading or applying these skills.
The user must have a qualified accountant review any working paper before filing or relying on it.

Slash commands

The plugin ships five slash commands:

/start — onboarding & jurisdiction triage
/prepare-vat-return
/prepare-income-tax
/classify-transactions
/check-deadlines
/engage-accountant

Use the most specific command that matches the user's request.
