Exact Online + Gemini
Exact Online — the Dutch accounting and ERP standard: accounts, sales and purchase invoices, items, stock, GL accounts and outstanding receivables. OData REST API, OAuth 2.0, scoped to one administration.
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:
EXACT_CLIENT_ID, EXACT_CLIENT_SECRET, EXACT_REFRESH_TOKEN, EXACT_BASE_HOST, EXACT_DIVISION
Step 1 — Get credentials
Getting a token
- Register an app in the Exact Online App Centre for your country (
apps.exactonline.com). You receive a client id and client secret. - Run the authorization-code flow once against your country's host. Keep the refresh token — Exact's access tokens last ten minutes, so the refresh token is the only value worth storing.
- Set
EXACT_CLIENT_ID,EXACT_CLIENT_SECRET,EXACT_REFRESH_TOKEN,EXACT_BASE_HOSTandEXACT_DIVISION.
…(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 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 (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
/mcpinside the Gemini CLI —Exact Onlineshould be listed as available. - Vertex AI Studio: pass
https://cloud.anythingmcp.com/mcp/YOUR_SERVER_IDto thetoolsarray of your request with the sameX-API-Keyheader.
