AFAS Profit + ChatGPT

AFAS Profit — Dutch ERP and HR: read any published GetConnector, list what is available, and inspect a connector's metadata. Token auth with AFAS's base64-wrapped XML token.

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:

AFAS_ENVIRONMENT, AFAS_TOKEN

Step 1 — Get credentials

AFAS exposes nothing until somebody publishes a GetConnector. That is the whole model, and it is why this adapter takes the connector name as a parameter rather than hard-coding entity paths.

  1. In AFAS open Algemeen → Beheer → App connector and create an app connector for the integration.
  2. Add the GetConnectors the agent should reach. The typed tools use the standard Profit_Debtor, Profit_Debtor_Invoices (outstanding debtor items) and Profit_Employees; anything else, including your own custom GetConnectors, goes through afas_profit_get_data. A GetConnector that has not been added to the app connector does not exist as far as the API is concerned.

…(continued in the in-app connector instructions)

Step 2 — Install the adapter

curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/HelpCode-ai/anythingmcp/main/docker-compose.quickstart.yml -o docker-compose.yml
printf 'JWT_SECRET=%s\nENCRYPTION_KEY=%s\n' "$(openssl rand -hex 32)" "$(openssl rand -hex 32)" > .env
docker compose up -d

Step 3 — Add the connector in ChatGPT

Your server URL: in AnythingMCP, open MCP Servers → the server this connector is on, and copy its URL (https://cloud.anythingmcp.com/mcp/…). Use it wherever this guide shows YOUR_SERVER_ID.

ChatGPT adds MCP servers as plugins on its Plugins page, on the web and on paid plans. Developer mode is no longer needed. In a Business workspace only admins and owners can add one; in Enterprise and Edu an admin can grant the Create plugins with MCPs permission.

  1. Go to chatgpt.com/plugins, click Add, then Add custom MCP server.
  2. Enter a name, e.g. Name: AFAS Profit.
  3. Under Connection, enter the Server URL https://cloud.anythingmcp.com/mcp/YOUR_SERVER_ID and keep Authentication on OAuth.
  4. Select I understand and want to continue, then Create as a plugin. When ChatGPT asks, sign in to AnythingMCP and allow access.
  5. Install the new plugin from your personal plugins, then type @ in a chat and pick it.

Does the free ChatGPT plan work with custom MCP servers? OpenAI documents custom MCP servers for paid plans only; the Free plan is not on its list.
