Tally + Gemini

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:

TALLY_API_KEY

Step 1 — Get credentials

tally.so).

Setup:

  1. Sign in to https://tally.so → top-right avatar → Settings → API → Create API key.
  2. Copy the key (starts with tly-). Set TALLY_API_KEY.

Authentication: Authorization: Bearer ${TALLY_API_KEY}.

Forms and responses: each form has an alphanumeric ID (e.g. wbN0Wd). Responses to a form are returned as an array of {questionId, answer, type} per submission.

Pagination: cursor-based with ?page=N&limit=M for submissions. Default 50 per page, max 100.

Webhooks out of scope (configure in Tally UI to point at your hosted endpoint).

…(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 — Tally 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.
