Znuny + Cursor
Znuny (the maintained OTRS fork, and the same API as OTOBO): search and read tickets with their articles, open tickets and add articles, over the GenericInterface REST web service on your own instance.
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:
ZNUNY_URL, ZNUNY_WEBSERVICE, ZNUNY_USERNAME, ZNUNY_PASSWORD
Step 1 — Get credentials
A Znuny web service has to be created before any of this works. Znuny does not expose a REST API by default; you build one in the admin UI.
- Go to Admin → Web Services → Add web service and import Znuny's bundled
GenericTicketConnectorREST.yml(it ships inscripts/examples/webservices/). That file defines exactly the four operations this adapter calls, and the routes below are its routes:GET /Ticketis TicketSearch,POST /Ticketis TicketCreate,GET /Ticket/:TicketIDis TicketGet andPATCH /Ticket/:TicketIDis TicketUpdate. If you wrote your own web service with different routes, change them here to match. - …
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 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" }
}
}
}
- Get your MCP API key from AnythingMCP → Profile → MCP API Keys → New Key.
- Save the file and restart Cursor.
- Open Cursor → Settings → MCP to verify
Znunyis listed and "Connected". - Start chatting — all
