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:
WORKABLE_SUBDOMAIN, WORKABLE_ACCESS_TOKEN
Step 1 — Get credentials
This connector wraps the Workable Hiring API (per-subdomain — yoursub.workable.com/spi/v3).
Setup:
- Log into your Workable account → top-right avatar → Integrations → Workable API → Generate access token.
- Note your subdomain (the part before
.workable.com). - Set
WORKABLE_SUBDOMAINandWORKABLE_ACCESS_TOKEN.
Authentication: Authorization: Bearer ${WORKABLE_ACCESS_TOKEN}.
Per-tenant baseUrl: https://${WORKABLE_SUBDOMAIN}.workable.com/spi/v3. Substituted at import time.
Job 'shortcode': Workable identifies jobs by short hash strings (AC123ABCDE) in URLs/API. Use workable_list_jobs to discover.
…(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 Claude
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.
Recommended path — works on claude.ai web without editing any config file.
- In Claude, open Customize → Connectors.
- Click +, then Add custom connector.
- Enter a name, e.g.
Workable, and the remote MCP server URLhttps://cloud.anythingmcp.com/mcp/YOUR_SERVER_ID, then click Add. - Click Connect and sign in to AnythingMCP (OAuth) to allow access.
