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
- Sign in to Lexware Office (lexoffice) with an account on a paid plan — the API is not available on the free tier.
- Open Einstellungen → Erweiterungen → Öffentliche API and create a new access token. The token is shown once; store it immediately.
- Set
LEXWARE_API_KEYto 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
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",
"headers": { "Authorization": "Bearer YOUR_MCP_API_KEY" }
}
}
}
- Get your MCP API key from AnythingMCP → Profile → MCP API Keys → New Key.
- Save the file and restart
gemini. - Run
/mcpinside the Gemini CLI —Lexware Officeshould be listed as available. - Vertex AI Studio: pass
https://cloud.anythingmcp.com/mcpto thetoolsarray of your request with the same Bearer header.
