Slab + Gemini
Read and organize Slab (team wiki) from any AI agent via its GraphQL API: search posts, read a post, list topics and their posts, create a post. 6 tools, API token (Business and Enterprise plans).
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:
SLAB_API_TOKEN
Step 1 — Get credentials
Schema reference: https://studio.apollographql.com/public/Slab/variant/current/schema/reference
Setup:
- Slab's API is available on the Business and Enterprise plans only.
- In Slab open Team Settings → Developer and copy the API token.
- Set
SLAB_API_TOKEN.
Authentication: Authorization: Bearer ${SLAB_API_TOKEN}.
What the token can see: the API acts as the Slab Bot user. A post or topic Slab Bot has no access to is missing from every result — if something you expect is not there, give Slab Bot access to it in Slab.
…(continued in the in-app connector instructions)
Step 2 — Install the adapter
curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/HelpCode-ai/anythingmcp/main/docker-compose.quickstart.yml -o docker-compose.yml
printf 'JWT_SECRET=%s\nENCRYPTION_KEY=%s\n' "$(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 showsYOUR_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" }
}
}
}
- Get your MCP API key from AnythingMCP → MCP Servers → your server → API keys.
- Save the file and restart
gemini. - Run
/mcpinside the Gemini CLI —Slabshould be listed as available. - Vertex AI Studio: pass
https://cloud.anythingmcp.com/mcp/YOUR_SERVER_IDto thetoolsarray of your request with the sameX-API-Keyheader.

FAQ
Does Gemini 1.5 Pro or 2.x support MCP? Yes — Gemini CLI ≥ 0.4 and Vertex AI tools API both accept MCP httpUrl connectors with custom headers.
