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:

HEIGHT_API_KEY

Step 1 — Get credentials

app/api/docs).

Setup:

  1. Sign in to Height → top-right avatar → Settings → API & webhooks → Generate API key.
  2. Set HEIGHT_API_KEY.

Authentication: Authorization: api-key ${HEIGHT_API_KEY} (literal api-key prefix, NOT Bearer).

Tasks are the primary object. Each task has status, name, description, assignees, dueDate, listIds[], fields (custom), parentTaskId (for subtasks).

Lists: how tasks are organized (similar to ClickUp lists or Linear projects). A task can belong to multiple lists.

Custom fields: defined at the workspace level. Reference via fields object {fieldId: value}.

Pagination: cursor-based via ?cursor=....

…(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 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" }
    }
  }
}
  1. Get your MCP API key from AnythingMCP → Profile → MCP API Keys → New Key.
  2. Save the file and restart Cursor.
  3. Open Cursor → Settings → MCP to verify Height is listed and "Connected".
  4. Start chatting — all Height tools are now invokable.
