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:

ADYEN_API_KEY, ADYEN_MERCHANT_ACCOUNT

Step 1 — Get credentials

adyen.com).

Setup:

  1. Sign in to https://ca-test.adyen.com (test) or https://ca-live.adyen.com (live) → Developers → API credentials → New credential → API user.
  2. Generate the API key. Note your merchant account name (visible in top dropdown, e.g. AcmeCo).
  3. Set:
    • ADYEN_API_KEY = the API key
    • ADYEN_MERCHANT_ACCOUNT = the merchant account name
    • ADYEN_ENV = test or live
    • For LIVE only: also set ADYEN_LIVE_URL_PREFIX = the URL prefix Adyen issued you (something like abc123def-AcmeCo). Find in CA → Developers → API URLs.

Authentication: header X-API-Key: ${ADYEN_API_KEY}.

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 Cursor

Cursor reads MCP servers from ~/.cursor/mcp.json. Add this entry:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "anythingmcp": {
      "url": "https://cloud.anythingmcp.com/mcp",
      "headers": { "Authorization": "Bearer YOUR_MCP_API_KEY" }
    }
  }
}
  1. Get your MCP API key from AnythingMCP → Profile → MCP API Keys → New Key.
  2. Save the file and restart Cursor.
  3. Open Cursor → Settings → MCP to verify Adyen is listed and "Connected".
  4. Start chatting — all Adyen tools are now invokable.
