bexio + Gemini
bexio — the Swiss SMB business suite used by 100,000+ companies: contacts, invoices, quotes, orders, articles, projects and timesheets. REST API, bearer token, amounts in CHF.
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:
BEXIO_API_TOKEN
Step 1 — Get credentials
Getting a token
- Sign in at https://developer.bexio.com/pat with the bexio user the agent should act as, and create a Personal Access Token (PAT). (bexio replaced the old in-app "API tokens" with PATs in October 2024.)
- Copy it into
BEXIO_API_TOKEN. - A PAT expires 60 days after creation. When calls start failing with 401, create a new PAT and paste it into the connector. Deleting a PAT on developer.bexio.com revokes it (bexio says this can take up to an hour).
- For a multi-tenant integration bexio also offers OAuth 2.0 with per-scope consent; this adapter uses the PAT, which is what a single company needs.
…(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 Gemini
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 showsYOUR_SERVER_ID.
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/YOUR_SERVER_ID",
"headers": { "X-API-Key": "YOUR_MCP_API_KEY" }
}
}
}
- Get your MCP API key from AnythingMCP → MCP Servers → your server → API keys.
- Save the file and restart
gemini. - Run
/mcpinside the Gemini CLI —bexioshould be listed as available. - Vertex AI Studio: pass
https://cloud.anythingmcp.com/mcp/YOUR_SERVER_IDto thetoolsarray of your request with the sameX-API-Keyheader.
