Voraussetzungen

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

PERSONIO_TOKEN

Schritt 1 — Zugangsdaten holen

Authentication model — IMPORTANT: Personio's /auth endpoint is not a standard OAuth2 flow. You POST {client_id, client_secret} once and get back a short-lived bearer token, which is then passed as Authorization: Bearer <token> on every request. Each successful API response ALSO returns a new token in its Authorization response header that must be used for the next call — effectively a token-rotation scheme. This adapter uses a single long-lived bearer token supplied by you (PERSONIO_TOKEN).

…(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
