Voraussetzungen

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

HARVEST_ACCESS_TOKEN, HARVEST_ACCOUNT_ID

Schritt 1 — Zugangsdaten holen

This connector wraps the Harvest API v2 (api.harvestapp.com/v2).

Setup:

  1. Log into https://id.getharvest.com → bottom-left avatar → Developers → Create new personal access token.
  2. Copy the token and the Account ID shown on the same page (a 7-digit number like 1234567).
  3. Set both: HARVEST_ACCESS_TOKEN and HARVEST_ACCOUNT_ID.

Authentication: every request requires BOTH:

  • Authorization: Bearer ${HARVEST_ACCESS_TOKEN}
  • Harvest-Account-Id: ${HARVEST_ACCOUNT_ID}
  • A User-Agent header (Harvest API requires it — the adapter sets AnythingMCP (support@anythingmcp.com)).

…(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 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 Harvest als "Connected" gelistet ist.
  4. Chatten — alle Harvest-Tools sind aufrufbar.
