How to Connect Destatis GENESIS Statistics to Gemini — via MCP

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

Destatis GENESIS Statistics + Gemini

Access official German federal statistics from Destatis (Statistisches Bundesamt) via the GENESIS API. Population, economy, trade, labor market, prices, and more.

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:

DESTATIS_USERNAME, DESTATIS_PASSWORD

Step 1 — Get credentials

Step 2 — Install the adapter

git clone https://github.com/HelpCode-ai/anythingmcp.git
cd anythingmcp && docker compose up -d

Step 3 — Add the connector in Gemini

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",
      "headers": { "Authorization": "Bearer YOUR_MCP_API_KEY" }
    }
  }
}

1. Get your MCP API key from AnythingMCP → Profile → MCP API Keys → New Key.
2. Save the file and restart gemini.
3. Run /mcp inside the Gemini CLI — Destatis GENESIS Statistics should be listed as available.
4. Vertex AI Studio: pass https://cloud.anythingmcp.com/mcp to the tools array of your request with the same Bearer header.
