How to Connect SAP Business One to Gemini — via MCP

💡 No install? Use cloud.anythingmcp.com directly. Sign in, click Connectors → SAP Business One, paste your credentials, mint an MCP API key — done. No Docker, no git clone, no local server.

SAP Business One + Gemini

Drive SAP Business One ERP (popular Mittelstand SMB target in DACH) from any AI agent: business partners, items, sales orders, A/R invoices, quotations, deliveries. Service Layer OData v4. Session-cookie auth via /Login.

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:

SAP_B1_HOST, SAP_B1_PORT, SAP_B1_COMPANY_DB, SAP_B1_USERNAME, SAP_B1_PASSWORD

Step 1 — Get credentials

Setup:

1. Identify your Service Layer host (typically the same machine that runs HANA + SAP B1). Default HTTPS port is 50000.
2. Create or pick a B1 user that has API access for the company database you want to expose.
3. Find the CompanyDB name in Choose Company dialog of the B1 client (looks like SBODEMOGB).
4. Set the five env vars below. The adapter logs in once per session (~25 min TTL) and re-uses the B1SESSION cookie.

OData: this adapter targets the v2 / OData v4 Service Layer endpoint at /b1s/v2/. Older /b1s/v1/ (OData v3) deployments are not covered — upgrade to FP 2405+ first.

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 — SAP Business One 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.
