GLPI + Gemini

GLPI open-source ITSM and asset management: tickets, computers, monitors, software, users and entities, plus GLPI's search engine. REST API on your own instance, session-token auth with an App-Token.

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:

GLPI_URL, GLPI_APP_TOKEN, GLPI_USER_TOKEN

Step 1 — Get credentials

GLPI needs two tokens, and both are easy to confuse.

  1. App-Token — identifies the application. In GLPI go to Setup → General → API, enable 'Enable Rest API' and 'Enable login with external token', add an API client, and copy its application token. Put it in GLPI_APP_TOKEN.
  2. User-Token — identifies the person. Open the GLPI user the agent should act as, go to the API tab of their profile, and regenerate the remote access key (personal API token). Put it in GLPI_USER_TOKEN.
  3. Set GLPI_URL to the instance root (no trailing slash); the adapter appends /apirest.php.

…(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 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" }
    }
  }
}
  1. Get your MCP API key from AnythingMCP → MCP Servers → your server → API keys.
  2. Save the file and restart gemini.
  3. Run /mcp inside the Gemini CLI — GLPI should be listed as available.
  4. 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.

FAQ

Does Gemini 1.5 Pro or 2.x support MCP? Yes — Gemini CLI ≥ 0.4 and Vertex AI tools API both accept MCP httpUrl connectors with custom headers.
