How to Connect Base (Baselinker) to Cursor via MCP

💡 No install? Use cloud.anythingmcp.com directly. Sign in, click Connectors → Base (Baselinker), paste your credentials, mint an MCP API key and you're done. No Docker, no git clone, no local server.

Base (Baselinker) + Cursor

Let your AI work in Base (Baselinker): find orders across shops and marketplaces, check statuses and shipments, move orders between statuses, and look up products, prices and stock per warehouse. One account, with its API 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:

BASELINKER_TOKEN

Step 1 — Get credentials

1. In Base (formerly Baselinker) open Account & other → My account → API.
2. Generate a token, or copy the existing one, and paste it into BASELINKER_TOKEN. Generating a new token invalidates the old one, so anything still using the old token stops working.
3. If the AI should see what changed in your orders with baselinker_get_journal_list, enable the order journal in the same API settings. Without it the journal stays empty.
4. Install the connector and run baselinker_get_order_status_list. It checks the token and lists your account's order statuses.

One token, the whole account: the token sees everything in the account: orders from every source (your own shop, connected shops and marketplaces such as Allegro, Amazon or eBay), every product catalog and every warehouse.

What it reads: orders with buyer, delivery and payment data, status and products; the shipments of an order with tracking number and tracking status; order events of the last 3 days; products with SKU, EAN, prices per price group and stock per warehouse; warehouses and couriers.

Confirm first: the only change the AI can make out of the box is moving an order to another status with baselinker_set_order_status. A status change can start automatic actions set up in your account (customer emails, invoices, marketplace updates), so the AI shows you the order and the target status and waits for your yes. For a read-only setup, switch this tool off.

Switched off at install: baselinker_add_order creates orders, baselinker_update_inventory_products_stock overwrites stock with absolute quantities that your connected shops and marketplaces pick up, and baselinker_create_package books a shipment with a courier, which orders a real label the courier may charge for. Turn them on only if the AI should do these things; it then confirms each one with you.

Limits: Base allows 100 requests per minute per account, and going over blocks the API for the account for a while. The AI therefore filters by status, source or date rather than paging through everything; one call returns at most 100 orders.

Common errors: ERROR_BAD_TOKEN: the token is wrong or was regenerated. ERROR_USER_ACCOUNT_BLOCKED: the account or its API access is blocked, often after exceeding the request limit, so wait before retrying. ERROR_UNKNOWN_METHOD, ERROR_PARSE_JSON_PARAMETERS or a message naming a field: the input was wrong. A stock update can partly succeed and reports problems per product as warnings.

The connector does not cover invoices and receipts, returns, CRM clients, creating or editing products, price updates, documents, purchase orders or downloading labels.

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 Cursor

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.

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

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "anythingmcp": {
      "url": "https://cloud.anythingmcp.com/mcp/YOUR_SERVER_ID",
      "headers": { "X-API-Key": "YOUR_MCP_API_KEY" }
    }
  }
}

1. Create an MCP API key in AnythingMCP under MCP Servers → your server → API keys, and paste it in place of YOUR_MCP_API_KEY.
2. Save the file and restart Cursor.
3. Open Cursor → Settings → MCP and check that anythingmcp is listed and connected.
4. Start chatting: the agent can now call the Base (Baselinker) tools.
