How to Connect Chargebee to Gemini — via MCP

💡 No install? Use cloud.anythingmcp.com directly. Sign in, click Connectors → Chargebee, paste your credentials, mint an MCP API key — done. No Docker, no git clone, no local server.

Chargebee + Gemini

Drive Chargebee (subscription billing) from any AI agent: customers, subscriptions, invoices, plans, addons, coupons. 14 tools, Basic-auth, per-site base URL.

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:

CHARGEBEE_SITE, CHARGEBEE_API_KEY

Step 1 — Get credentials

Setup:

1. Sign in to Chargebee → Settings → API Keys → + Create a Key.
2. Pick a Full-Access key for write operations OR a Restricted Key for read-only.
3. Note your site subdomain (e.g. acme-test if your URL is acme-test.chargebee.com).
4. Set:
   • CHARGEBEE_SITE = the subdomain (without .chargebee.com)
   • CHARGEBEE_API_KEY = the full API key (live_... or test_...)

Authentication: HTTP Basic with username=API_KEY, password=empty.

Site-templated URL: https://{{CHARGEBEE_SITE}}.chargebee.com/api/v2. Test vs Live sites are different subdomains (e.g. acme-test vs acme) and have different API keys.

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 shows YOUR_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" }
    }
  }
}

1. Get your MCP API key from AnythingMCP → MCP Servers → your server → API keys.
2. Save the file and restart gemini.
3. Run /mcp inside the Gemini CLI — Chargebee should be listed as available.
4. Vertex AI Studio: pass https://cloud.anythingmcp.com/mcp/YOUR_SERVER_ID to the tools array of your request with the same X-API-Key header.

FAQ

Does Gemini 1.5 Pro or 2.x support MCP? Yes — Gemini CLI ≥ 0.4 and Vertex AI tools API both accept MCP httpUrl connectors with custom headers.
