Voraussetzungen

Die vollständige Setup-Anleitung ist in den Connector eingebaut (im Store sichtbar, wenn du den Connector auswählst). Benötigte Umgebungsvariablen für diesen Connector:

BAMBOOHR_SUBDOMAIN, BAMBOOHR_API_KEY

Schritt 1 — Zugangsdaten holen

This connector wraps the BambooHR REST API v1 (per-subdomain — api.bamboohr.com/api/gateway.php/<subdomain>/v1).

Setup:

  1. Sign in to your BambooHR portal → top-right avatar → API Keys → Add a new key.
  2. Note your subdomain (the part before .bamboohr.com) and copy the key.
  3. Set BAMBOOHR_SUBDOMAIN and BAMBOOHR_API_KEY.

Authentication: HTTP Basic — API key as username, literal x as password.

Path subdomain: BambooHR's API embeds the subdomain in the URL path. The adapter substitutes via runtime envVar.

…(continued in the in-app connector instructions)

Schritt 2 — Adapter installieren

git clone https://github.com/HelpCode-ai/anythingmcp.git
cd anythingmcp && docker compose up -d

Schritt 3 — Connector in Gemini hinzufügen

Gemini CLI liest MCP-Server aus ~/.gemini/settings.json (oder %APPDATA%\gemini\settings.json unter Windows). Hinzufügen:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "anythingmcp": {
      "httpUrl": "https://cloud.anythingmcp.com/mcp",
      "headers": { "Authorization": "Bearer YOUR_MCP_API_KEY" }
    }
  }
}
  1. Hole deinen MCP API Key aus AnythingMCP → Profil → MCP API Keys → Neuer Key.
  2. Speichern und gemini neu starten.
  3. /mcp in Gemini CLI ausführen — BambooHR sollte als verfügbar gelistet sein.
  4. Vertex AI Studio: https://cloud.anythingmcp.com/mcp im tools-Array der Anfrage mit demselben Bearer-Header übergeben.
