FRONT_API_TOKEN

Paso 1 — Obtener credenciales

frontapp.com/reference).

Setup:

  1. Sign in to Front → Settings (top-right) → Developers → API Tokens → Create API Token.
  2. Pick scope: private (full-access to all inboxes/conversations) or scoped to a specific inbox/role.
  3. Copy the token. Set FRONT_API_TOKEN.

Authentication: Authorization: Bearer ${FRONT_API_TOKEN}.

Front's tile model:

  • Conversation = a thread between your team and one or more contacts. Has status (open/archived/spam/deleted), assignee, inbox, tags.
  • Message = each inbound/outbound email, SMS, chat, etc. within a conversation.
  • Contact = an external entity (a customer).

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" }
    }
  }
}
  1. Obtén tu MCP API key desde AnythingMCP → Perfil → MCP API Keys → Nueva Key.
  2. Guarda el archivo y reinicia gemini.
  3. Ejecuta /mcp en la Gemini CLI — Front debería aparecer como disponible.
  4. Vertex AI Studio: pasa https://cloud.anythingmcp.com/mcp al array tools de tu petición con el mismo header Bearer.
