Kenjo HR + Cursor
Read Kenjo HR data: employees with names, job titles and reporting lines, companies, offices, departments and teams, time-off requests and types, attendance entries and recruiting positions. Read-only, through the Kenjo API v1.
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:
KENJO_API_KEY
Step 1 — Get credentials
- API access is off by default: ask Kenjo support to have Customer Success enable it for your account.
- An admin opens Settings → Integrations → API and clicks Generate new API key. Copy the key at once, as Kenjo shows it only once (up to 5 keys per organisation).
- Employee data is always included; switch on attendance, time off and recruiting for the key if you want those tools. Put the key in
KENJO_API_KEY. - Start with
kenjo_list_employeesto find a person's_id, thenkenjo_get_employee. Turn ids into names withkenjo_list_companies,kenjo_list_offices,kenjo_list_departmentsandkenjo_list_teams.
The connector exchanges the key for a bearer token at POST /auth/login and renews it by itself; editing, regenerating or deleting the key in Kenjo invalidates its tokens. It calls the production API api.kenjo.io, so a sandbox key does not work. Nothing is written to Kenjo, and the financial section (bank and tax ids) is removed from employee records. Time-off requests take a range of at most 92 days, attendances at most 31; a 403 on those tools means the collection is not enabled for the key.
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 Cursor
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.
Cursor reads MCP servers from ~/.cursor/mcp.json. Add this entry:
{
"mcpServers": {
"anythingmcp": {
"url": "https://cloud.anythingmcp.com/mcp/YOUR_SERVER_ID",
"headers": { "X-API-Key": "YOUR_MCP_API_KEY" }
}
}
}
- Create an MCP API key in AnythingMCP under MCP Servers → your server → API keys, and paste it in place of
YOUR_MCP_API_KEY. - Save the file and restart Cursor.
- Open Cursor → Settings → MCP and check that
anythingmcpis listed and connected. - Start chatting — the agent can now call the
Kenjo HRtools.
