Pennylane + Claude

Pennylane — French accounting and finance for SMBs and their accountants: customer and supplier invoices, customers, suppliers, products, ledger entries and bank transactions. REST API v2, 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:

PENNYLANE_API_TOKEN

Step 1 — Get credentials

Getting a token

  1. Sign in to Pennylane and open Paramètres → Intégrations → API (Settings → Integrations → API).
  2. Create a personal access token and put it in PENNYLANE_API_TOKEN. The token is scoped to one company (entreprise); an accountant handling several clients needs one connector per client.

This adapter targets API v2 at https://app.pennylane.com/api/external/v2. Pennylane's v1 is still served but is being wound down, and its pagination and field names differ — if you find a v1 example online, it will not work here.

…(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 Claude

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.

Recommended path — works on claude.ai web without editing any config file.

  1. In Claude, open Customize → Connectors.
  2. Click +, then Add custom connector.
  3. Enter a name, e.g. Pennylane, and the remote MCP server URL https://cloud.anythingmcp.com/mcp/YOUR_SERVER_ID, then click Add.
  4. Click Connect and sign in to AnythingMCP (OAuth) to allow access.
