UK Companies House + Gemini
Search and inspect the official UK companies register: company profiles, directors and secretaries, filing history. Free public API with a 600 requests / 5 minutes rate limit. The UK equivalent of the German Handelsregister.
Requisitos previos
Las instrucciones de configuración completas están incluidas en el conector (visibles en el store al seleccionarlo). Las variables de entorno requeridas:
COMPANIES_HOUSE_API_KEY
Paso 1 — Obtener credenciales
Getting an API key: register a free account at https://developer.company-information.service.gov.uk → 'Manage applications' → 'Create an application' (pick Live or Test) → 'Create new key' → REST. Copy the generated key into COMPANIES_HOUSE_API_KEY.
Authentication quirk: Companies House uses HTTP Basic Auth where the API key is the username and the password is empty (the canonical curl shape is -u API_KEY:). This adapter mirrors that — leave the password configuration empty.
Company numbers: always 8 characters, zero-padded (e.g. 00006400 not 6400). The search endpoint returns matches with the canonical number you can feed into the other tools.
…(continued in the in-app connector instructions)
Paso 2 — Instalar el adapter
git clone https://github.com/HelpCode-ai/anythingmcp.git
cd anythingmcp && docker compose up -d
Paso 3 — Añadir el conector en Gemini
Gemini CLI lee servidores MCP desde ~/.gemini/settings.json (o %APPDATA%\gemini\settings.json en Windows). Añade:
{
"mcpServers": {
"anythingmcp": {
"httpUrl": "https://cloud.anythingmcp.com/mcp",
"headers": { "Authorization": "Bearer YOUR_MCP_API_KEY" }
}
}
}
