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:

SURVEYMONKEY_ACCESS_TOKEN

Step 1 — Get credentials

surveymonkey.com/v3).

Setup:

  1. Register at https://developer.surveymonkey.comAdd new app → Private app.
  2. Pick scopes: Surveys (Read), Responses (Read), Collectors (Read+Write), Contacts (Read+Write), Webhooks (Read+Write).
  3. Run the OAuth2 flow to obtain an access token. Set SURVEYMONKEY_ACCESS_TOKEN.
  4. SurveyMonkey tokens are LONG-LIVED — but can be revoked by user via app dashboard.

Authentication: Authorization: Bearer ${SURVEYMONKEY_ACCESS_TOKEN}.

Survey vs Collector vs Response:

  • Survey: the question design.
  • Collector: a distribution channel (weblink/email/popup/embed) attached to a survey.
  • Response: a submission to a collector.

…(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 Gemini

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",
      "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 gemini.
  3. Run /mcp inside the Gemini CLI — SurveyMonkey should be listed as available.
  4. Vertex AI Studio: pass https://cloud.anythingmcp.com/mcp to the tools array of your request with the same Bearer header.
