Voraussetzungen

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

NUTSHELL_USERNAME, NUTSHELL_API_KEY

Schritt 1 — Zugangsdaten holen

This connector wraps the Nutshell REST API v1 (app.nutshell.com/api/v1).

Setup:

  1. Log into https://app.nutshell.com → top-right avatar → Setup → API → New API key.
  2. Note the Username (your Nutshell email) and the generated API key.
  3. Set NUTSHELL_USERNAME (email) and NUTSHELL_API_KEY.

Authentication: HTTP Basic — username = your account email, password = the API key. Nutshell ALSO supports a legacy JSON-RPC API but the REST endpoints exposed here are easier to consume.

Entity types: Lead (the main pipeline opportunity), Contact (person), Account (company), Activity (call/meeting log), Task (todo). Each has its own endpoint root.

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