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:
FOLK_API_TOKEN
Step 1 — Get credentials
folk.app).
Setup:
- Sign in to https://app.folk.app → bottom-left avatar → API & Integrations → API → Generate API token.
- Set
FOLK_API_TOKEN. - Note your workspace's groups — Folk's groups are loose collections (use them like tags).
Authentication: Authorization: Bearer ${FOLK_API_TOKEN}.
People / Companies / Deals: standard CRM objects, plus the relationship-graph idea — every person is linked to one or more companies, plus a free-form network of contacts.
Groups: flexible — Folk's primary segmentation. Add a person to multiple groups; each group has its own custom fields visible only when the person is in that group.

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
