ActiveCampaign + Gemini
Drive ActiveCampaign (marketing automation + CRM) from any AI agent: contacts, lists, tags, deals, pipelines, campaigns, automations. 16 tools. Custom Api-Token header auth, per-account API URL.
Prerequisites
See the full setup instructions baked into the connector (visible in the in-app store when you select the connector). The required environment variables for this connector are:
ACTIVECAMPAIGN_API_URL, ACTIVECAMPAIGN_API_KEY
Step 1 — Get credentials
Setup:
- Sign in to ActiveCampaign → Settings → Developer. Two values:
- URL (your account's API URL):
https://{ACCOUNT}.api-us1.com(or .api-eu1.com, etc.) - Key: a long alphanumeric API key.
- URL (your account's API URL):
- Set
ACTIVECAMPAIGN_API_URL= the full URL from step 1 (no trailing slash, no/api/3). - Set
ACTIVECAMPAIGN_API_KEY= the key.
Authentication: custom header Api-Token: ${ACTIVECAMPAIGN_API_KEY}.
Account-scoped base URL: every account has its own subdomain. The adapter substitutes {{ACTIVECAMPAIGN_API_URL}}/api/3 as the base. If you use OAuth2 instead of the API key, the URL is the same.
…(continued in the in-app connector instructions)
Step 2 — Install the adapter
git clone https://github.com/HelpCode-ai/anythingmcp.git
cd anythingmcp && docker compose up -d
Step 3 — Add the connector in Gemini
Gemini CLI reads MCP servers from ~/.gemini/settings.json (or %APPDATA%\gemini\settings.json on Windows). Add:
{
"mcpServers": {
"anythingmcp": {
"httpUrl": "https://cloud.anythingmcp.com/mcp",
"headers": { "Authorization": "Bearer YOUR_MCP_API_KEY" }
}
}
}
- Get your MCP API key from AnythingMCP → Profile → MCP API Keys → New Key.
- Save the file and restart
gemini. - Run
/mcpinside the Gemini CLI —ActiveCampaignshould be listed as available. - Vertex AI Studio: pass
https://cloud.anythingmcp.com/mcpto thetoolsarray of your request with the same Bearer header.
