COPPER_API_KEY, COPPER_USER_EMAIL, COPPER_APP_NAME
Step 1 — Get credentials
copper.com).
Setup:
- Sign in to Copper → top-right avatar → Settings → Integrations → API Keys → Generate API Key.
- Copy: the key + the email of the user it belongs to.
- Set:
COPPER_API_KEY= generated keyCOPPER_USER_EMAIL= the email of the API key ownerCOPPER_APP_NAME= a label for your integration (e.g.anythingmcp)
Authentication: three custom headers — X-PW-AccessToken: ${COPPER_API_KEY}, X-PW-Application: developer_api, X-PW-UserEmail: ${COPPER_USER_EMAIL}. Quirky but it's Copper's convention.

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 Claude
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.
Recommended path — works on claude.ai web without editing any config file.
- In Claude, open Customize → Connectors.
