Requisitos previos

Las instrucciones de configuración completas están incluidas en el conector (visibles en el store al seleccionarlo). Las variables de entorno requeridas:

INSTANTLY_API_KEY

Paso 1 — Obtener credenciales

instantly.ai).

Setup:

  1. Sign in to https://app.instantly.ai → bottom-left avatar → Settings → Integrations → API → Generate New API Key.
  2. Set INSTANTLY_API_KEY.

Authentication: Authorization: Bearer ${INSTANTLY_API_KEY}.

Lead state: leads have status (Active, Paused, Completed, Unsubscribed, Bounced, Skipped, Replied). Adding a lead with skip_if_in_workspace=true deduplicates.

Campaigns: sequence of email steps. Adding a lead to a campaign enrolls it in the sequence.

Accounts (sending mailboxes): each campaign sends from one or more connected mailboxes — managed in UI.

Pagination: ?starting_after=lead_id cursor.

…(continued in the in-app connector instructions)

Paso 2 — Instalar el adapter

git clone https://github.com/HelpCode-ai/anythingmcp.git

    "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 — Instantly 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.
