Lexware Office + Gemini

Lexware Office (formerly lexoffice) — Germany's most-used SMB bookkeeping app. Read and create contacts, invoices, quotations, credit notes, vouchers and articles, and pull the voucher list that drives the Buchhaltung. Public REST API v1, bearer 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:

LEXWARE_API_KEY

Step 1 — Get credentials

Getting a token

  1. Sign in to Lexware Office (lexoffice) with an account on a paid plan — the API is not available on the free tier.
  2. Open Einstellungen → Erweiterungen → Öffentliche API and create a new access token. The token is shown once; store it immediately.
  3. Set LEXWARE_API_KEY to that value. It is a personal token scoped to the one company (Mandant) it was created in; a tax adviser handling several clients needs one connector per client.

…(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 — Lexware Office 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.
