* Split the Cursor plugin into plugins/cursor-link with MCP-first skills
Cursor reaches Link through the hosted MCP server at
api.cursor.com/rest-mcp/stripe-link/mcp, but the plugin's skills were the
CLI-oriented ones shared with Claude and Codex via a symlink to the repo
root. They told Cursor users to npm install @stripe/link-cli and to register
a second, local stdio MCP server, which conflicts with the hosted one.
Give Cursor its own self-contained plugin directory with no shared files, and
write its skills against the tools the hosted server actually exposes:
get_userinfo, list_spend_requests, get_spend_request, list_payment_methods,
list_shipping_addresses, sign_web_bot_auth, and report_agent_observation.
That server exposes no spend-request writes, so the purchase skill covers
finding and spending against a request the user already approved and stops
when none exists. Transactions, balances, and sources are not reachable yet,
so no financial-insights skill ships here; plugins/link still covers that for
CLI-based clients.
With a real .mcp.json in the new directory there is no longer a symlinked
.mcp.json to dodge, so the .link-cursor-mcp.json override is gone.

* Route spend approvals through request_virtual_card
The skills described approval as something the agent could not do, which is
true of the Link MCP server but not of Cursor, where request_virtual_card
raises an approval card for exactly this. Rewrite the purchase flow around
that tool: its argument contract (cents including tax and shipping, a 7-word
title, a 100 to 140 character context, line items summing exactly to the
total), the turn ending on the call, the already-pending and denied outcomes,
and the 5/15/30/60 second poll of get_spend_request before retrieving the
card.
