Nimble + Gemini

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:

NIMBLE_CLIENT_ID, NIMBLE_CLIENT_SECRET, NIMBLE_REFRESH_TOKEN

Step 1 — Get credentials

This connector wraps the Nimble REST API v1 (app.nimble.com/api/v1).

Setup — OAuth2 refresh flow:

  1. Sign in to https://app.nimble.comSettings → Integrations → API → Create OAuth app.
  2. Note the client_id, client_secret, and complete the OAuth dance at https://app.nimble.com/oauth/authorize?response_type=code&client_id=...&redirect_uri=...&scope=... to get an authorization code.
  3. Exchange for tokens: POST https://app.nimble.com/oauth/token?grant_type=authorization_code&code=...&client_id=...&client_secret=...&redirect_uri=....
  4. Save the refresh_token. Set NIMBLE_CLIENT_ID, NIMBLE_CLIENT_SECRET, NIMBLE_REFRESH_TOKEN.

…(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 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" }
    }
  }
}
  1. Get your MCP API key from AnythingMCP → Profile → MCP API Keys → New Key.
  2. Save the file and restart gemini.
  3. Run /mcp inside the Gemini CLI — Nimble should be listed as available.
  4. Vertex AI Studio: pass https://cloud.anythingmcp.com/mcp to the tools array of your request with the same Bearer header.
