Pinterest + Gemini

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

Step 1 — Get credentials

This connector wraps the Pinterest API v5 (api.pinterest.com/v5). You authorize it once, in AnythingMCP; access tokens are then renewed automatically.

Setup:

  1. Create an app at https://developers.pinterest.com/apps/.
  2. Under the app's Redirect URIs, add https://cloud.anythingmcp.com/api/mcp-oauth/callback on AnythingMCP Cloud, or <your AnythingMCP server URL>/api/mcp-oauth/callback when you host AnythingMCP yourself. Pinterest requires an exact match.
  3. Enter the app's App ID as PINTEREST_CLIENT_ID and its App secret key as PINTEREST_CLIENT_SECRET, leave PINTEREST_REFRESH_TOKEN empty, and install.

…(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 — Pinterest 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.
