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

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 Personio HR als "Connected" gelistet ist.
  4. Chatten — alle Personio HR-Tools sind aufrufbar.
