Connect Destatis GENESIS to Gemini
Destatis (Statistisches Bundesamt) provides official German federal statistics via the GENESIS API. With AnythingMCP, you can connect Destatis data to Gemini and explore statistical tables using natural language.
What You Can Do
- "What is Germany's current population by Bundesland?"
- "Search for tables about consumer price index"
- "Show me the latest foreign trade statistics"
- "Get metadata for table 12411-0001"
Setup
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
- Open
http://localhost:3000/connectors/storeand import the Destatis GENESIS Statistics adapter - Enter your Destatis GENESIS username and password (register at genesis.destatis.de)
- Assign the connector to an MCP server
Connect 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 showsYOUR_SERVER_ID.
Gemini CLI reads MCP servers from ~/.gemini/settings.json (on Windows %USERPROFILE%\.gemini\settings.json). Add:
{
"mcpServers": {
"anythingmcp": {
"httpUrl": "https://cloud.anythingmcp.com/mcp/YOUR_SERVER_ID",
"headers": { "X-API-Key": "YOUR_MCP_API_KEY" }
}
}
}
- Create an MCP API key in AnythingMCP under MCP Servers → your server → API keys, and paste it in place of
YOUR_MCP_API_KEY. - Save the file and restart
gemini. - Run
/mcpinside Gemini CLI (orgemini mcp listin your shell) —anythingmcpshould show as connected. - Start prompting — Gemini CLI can now call the
Destatis GENESIStools.
Self-hosting with the quickstart above? Use your server's local endpoint http://localhost:4000/mcp/<server-id> as the URL.

FAQ
Where does Gemini CLI look for MCP servers? In ~/.gemini/settings.json for your user, or in .gemini/settings.json inside a project. gemini mcp list shows each server and whether it connects.
