ELO Digital Office + Cursor
ELO ECM: search the archive, read Sord metadata and keywording, walk the folder tree and list document versions. ELO IX REST interface, ticket-based session auth against your own ELO server.
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:
ELO_URL, ELO_USERNAME, ELO_PASSWORD
Step 1 — Get credentials
Setup
- Confirm the ELO Indexserver (IX) publishes its REST interface — typically
https://<server>/ix-<repo>/rest. The repository name is part of the path, so an installation with several archives needs one connector each. - Create an ELO user for the integration with read rights on the archive areas the agent should see. ELO enforces ACLs per Sord, so a restricted user sees a smaller archive rather than an error.
- Set
ELO_URLto the IX REST root (no trailing slash), plusELO_USERNAMEandELO_PASSWORD.
…(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
Cursor reads MCP servers from ~/.cursor/mcp.json. Add this entry:
{
"mcpServers": {
"anythingmcp": {
"url": "https://cloud.anythingmcp.com/mcp",
"headers": { "Authorization": "Bearer YOUR_MCP_API_KEY" }
}
}
}
- Get your MCP API key from AnythingMCP → Profile → MCP API Keys → New Key.
- Save the file and restart Cursor.
- Open Cursor → Settings → MCP to verify
ELO Digital Officeis listed and "Connected". - Start chatting — all
ELO Digital Officetools are now invokable.
