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:

WRIKE_ACCESS_TOKEN

Step 1 — Get credentials

This connector wraps the Wrike API v4 (per-host).

Setup:

  1. Log into your Wrike account → top-right profile → Apps & Integrations → API → Create new application.
  2. Generate a permanent access token. Note your host — most accounts are www.wrike.com, but EU accounts use app-eu.wrike.com. Change baseUrl accordingly.
  3. Set WRIKE_ACCESS_TOKEN.

Authentication: Authorization: Bearer ${WRIKE_ACCESS_TOKEN}.

Entity model: Account → Folder/Project → Task → Subtask. A folder can contain folders + tasks. Projects are folders with project: true metadata.

…(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 Cursor

Cursor reads MCP servers from ~/.cursor/mcp.json. Add this entry:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "anythingmcp": {
      "url": "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 Cursor.
  3. Open Cursor → Settings → MCP to verify Wrike is listed and "Connected".
  4. Start chatting — all Wrike tools are now invokable.
