Zabbix + Gemini

Zabbix monitoring: hosts, host groups, items, triggers, active problems, events and the latest measured values. JSON-RPC API over a single endpoint, bearer API token.

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:

ZABBIX_URL, ZABBIX_API_TOKEN

Step 1 — Get credentials

Getting a token (requires Zabbix 6.4 or newer)

Sign in to the Zabbix frontend as a Super admin and open Users → API tokens.
Create a token for a user with read permission on the host groups the agent should see, and copy the value — Zabbix shows it once.
Set ZABBIX_URL to your frontend root (no trailing slash, no /api_jsonrpc.php) and ZABBIX_API_TOKEN to the token. The adapter sends it as Authorization: Bearer …, which Zabbix accepts from 6.4 on. Zabbix 5.4–6.2 only take the token in the JSON-RPC auth field, which this adapter does not use, so every call there fails with "Not authorised".

…(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 shows YOUR_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 /mcp inside the Gemini CLI — Zabbix should be listed as available.
Vertex AI Studio: pass https://cloud.anythingmcp.com/mcp/YOUR_SERVER_ID to the tools array of your request with the same X-API-Key header.

Tool	What it does
`zabbix_get_api_version`	Read the Zabbix API version

`zabbix_list_host_groups`	List host groups with their id, name and the number of hosts in each
`zabbix_list_problems`	List the problems that are active right now, with their severity, host, name and the time they started
`zabbix_list_events`	List events from the history — including problems that have since resolved, which problem
`zabbix_list_triggers`	List triggers with their expression, severity, current value and the host they belong to — the rules that turn measurements into problems
`zabbix_list_items`	List monitored items with their key, name, type, value type and units — what Zabbix actually measures on a host
`zabbix_get_latest_values`	Read the most recent value of specific items — the current disk usage, load average or temperature, rather than the alert about it
`zabbix_get_history`	Read historical values of one item over a time range — the series behind a graph
`zabbix_list_maintenance_windows`	List configured maintenance windows with their hosts, groups and periods — the explanation for why an alert did not fire

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.
