Flutterwave + Gemini
Manage Flutterwave (Africa payments: payments, customers, subscriptions, transfers, refunds, payouts) from any AI agent. 10 tools, Bearer secret.
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:
FLUTTERWAVE_SECRET_KEY
Step 1 — Get credentials
This connector wraps the Flutterwave API v3 (api.flutterwave.com/v3).
Setup:
- Sign in at https://app.flutterwave.com → Settings → API.
- Note your Secret Key (
FLWSECK_TEST-...for test,FLWSECK-...for live) AND public key (used client-side). - Set
FLUTTERWAVE_SECRET_KEY.
Authentication: Authorization: Bearer ${FLUTTERWAVE_SECRET_KEY}.
Test vs Live: secret key prefix determines mode. Test transactions never touch real cards.
Amounts: Flutterwave uses major-unit decimal floats (₦1.50 = 1.50), unlike Paystack — pay attention.
…(continued in the in-app connector instructions)
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" }
}
}
}
- Get your MCP API key from AnythingMCP → Profile → MCP API Keys → New Key.
- Save the file and restart
gemini. - Run
/mcpinside the Gemini CLI —Flutterwaveshould be listed as available. - Vertex AI Studio: pass
https://cloud.anythingmcp.com/mcpto thetoolsarray of your request with the same Bearer header.
