Voraussetzungen

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

FRESHBOOKS_CLIENT_ID, FRESHBOOKS_CLIENT_SECRET, FRESHBOOKS_REFRESH_TOKEN, FRESHBOOKS_ACCOUNT_ID

Schritt 1 — Zugangsdaten holen

This connector wraps the FreshBooks New API (api.freshbooks.com/accounting).

Setup — OAuth2 refresh flow:

  1. Go to https://my.freshbooks.com/#/developerCreate an App. Set redirect URI to your callback.
  2. Run the auth flow: https://my.freshbooks.com/oauth/authorize?response_type=code&client_id=...&redirect_uri=...&scope=user:profile:read user:clients:read user:invoices:read user:invoices:write user:expenses:read user:time_entries:read user:payments:read user:payments:write.
  3. Exchange the code at https://api.freshbooks.com/auth/oauth/token for access + refresh tokens.

Schritt 2 — Adapter installieren

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

Schritt 3 — Connector in Cursor hinzufügen

Cursor liest MCP-Server aus ~/.cursor/mcp.json. Füge diesen Eintrag hinzu:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "anythingmcp": {
      "url": "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 Cursor neu starten.
  3. Cursor → Einstellungen → MCP öffnen und prüfen, ob FreshBooks als "Connected" gelistet ist.
  4. Chatten — alle FreshBooks-Tools sind aufrufbar.
