BuchhaltungsButler + Cursor
BuchhaltungsButler — German automated bookkeeping: postings, receipts, bank transactions, customers and suppliers. Every endpoint is a POST; auth is HTTP Basic (API client id and secret) plus an api_key field in the request body.
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:
BUCHHALTUNGSBUTLER_CLIENT_ID, BUCHHALTUNGSBUTLER_CLIENT_SECRET, BUCHHALTUNGSBUTLER_API_KEY
Step 1 — Get credentials
Getting credentials: BuchhaltungsButler needs three values, not one.
- In the web app open Einstellungen → API and create an API client. You receive an API client id and an API client secret: these are the HTTP Basic username and password.
- On the same page copy the API key for the client (Mandant) you want to reach. This is a separate value that travels in the body of every request.
- Set
BUCHHALTUNGSBUTLER_CLIENT_ID,BUCHHALTUNGSBUTLER_CLIENT_SECRETandBUCHHALTUNGSBUTLER_API_KEY.
…(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 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 showsYOUR_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" }
}
}
}
- Get your MCP API key from AnythingMCP → MCP Servers → your server → API keys.
- Save the file and restart Cursor.
- Open Cursor → Settings → MCP to verify
