Manage Pinterest (boards, pins, search, ads, audiences) from any AI agent via Business API. 9 tools, OAuth2 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:

PINTEREST_CLIENT_ID, PINTEREST_CLIENT_SECRET, PINTEREST_REFRESH_TOKEN

Step 1 — Get credentials

This connector wraps the Pinterest Business API v5 (api.pinterest.com/v5).

Setup — OAuth2:

  1. Register at https://developers.pinterest.comCreate app.
  2. Configure redirect URI, run the OAuth flow at https://www.pinterest.com/oauth/?response_type=code&client_id=...&redirect_uri=...&scope=boards:read,boards:write,pins:read,pins:write,user_accounts:read.
  3. Exchange the code at https://api.pinterest.com/v5/oauth/token.
  4. Set PINTEREST_CLIENT_ID, PINTEREST_CLIENT_SECRET, PINTEREST_REFRESH_TOKEN.

Authentication: OAuth2 with refresh — engine handles. Sends Authorization: Bearer ACCESS_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 Cursor

Cursor reads MCP servers from ~/.cursor/mcp.json. Add this entry:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "anythingmcp": {
      "url": "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 Cursor.
  3. Open Cursor → Settings → MCP to verify Pinterest is listed and "Connected".
  4. Start chatting — all Pinterest tools are now invokable.
