Deel + Cursor

Manage Deel (global EOR / contractor platform: people, contracts, invoices, payments, organizations) from any AI agent. 10 tools, Bearer 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:

DEEL_API_TOKEN

Step 1 — Get credentials

This connector wraps the Deel API v2 (api.letsdeel.com/rest/v2).

Setup:

  1. Log into https://app.deel.com → top-right avatar → Developer Center → Create API token.
  2. Pick scopes (read/write people, contracts, invoices, etc.).
  3. Set DEEL_API_TOKEN.

Authentication: Authorization: Bearer ${DEEL_API_TOKEN}.

Entity model: Person (worker) → Contract (engagement: EOR, contractor, direct employee) → Invoice (per pay period) → Payment (the disbursement). Each has its own endpoint.

Pagination: limit (max 250) + offset (0-based). Response has total count.

Rate limits: 100 req/min per token. 429 with Retry-After.

…(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 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. Get your MCP API key from AnythingMCP → MCP Servers → your server → API keys.
  2. Save the file and restart Cursor.
  3. Open Cursor → Settings → MCP to verify Deel is listed and "Connected".
  4. Start chatting — all Deel tools are now invokable.
