DocuWare + Gemini

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:

DOCUWARE_URL, DOCUWARE_USERNAME, DOCUWARE_PASSWORD, DOCUWARE_TOKEN_URL

Step 1 — Get credentials

Getting access

Create a DocuWare user for the integration with read rights on the file cabinets the agent should see. DocuWare enforces cabinet and field-level rights, so a restricted user sees fewer documents rather than an error.
Set DOCUWARE_URL to your platform root — for DocuWare Cloud that is https://<tenant>.docuware.cloud/DocuWare/Platform; on premises it is https://<server>/DocuWare/Platform. No trailing slash.
Set DOCUWARE_USERNAME and DOCUWARE_PASSWORD.

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" }
    }
  }
}

Get your MCP API key from AnythingMCP → MCP Servers → your server → API keys.
Save the file and restart gemini.
Run /mcp inside the Gemini CLI — DocuWare should be listed as available.
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.
