Prerequisiti

Le istruzioni di setup complete sono incluse nel connettore stesso (visibili nello store quando lo selezioni). Le variabili d'ambiente richieste sono:

BAMBOOHR_SUBDOMAIN, BAMBOOHR_API_KEY

Step 1 — Ottieni le credenziali

This connector wraps the BambooHR REST API v1 (per-subdomain — api.bamboohr.com/api/gateway.php/<subdomain>/v1).

Setup:

  1. Sign in to your BambooHR portal → top-right avatar → API Keys → Add a new key.
  2. Note your subdomain (the part before .bamboohr.com) and copy the key.
  3. Set BAMBOOHR_SUBDOMAIN and BAMBOOHR_API_KEY.

Authentication: HTTP Basic — API key as username, literal x as password.

Path subdomain: BambooHR's API embeds the subdomain in the URL path. The adapter substitutes via runtime envVar.

…(continued in the in-app connector instructions)

Step 2 — Installa l'adapter

git clone https://github.com/HelpCode-ai/anythingmcp.git
cd anythingmcp && docker compose up -d

Step 3 — Aggiungi il connettore in Gemini

Gemini CLI legge i server MCP da ~/.gemini/settings.json (o %APPDATA%\gemini\settings.json su Windows). Aggiungi:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "anythingmcp": {
      "httpUrl": "https://cloud.anythingmcp.com/mcp",
      "headers": { "Authorization": "Bearer YOUR_MCP_API_KEY" }
    }
  }
}
  1. Ottieni la tua MCP API key da AnythingMCP → Profilo → MCP API Keys → Nuova Key.
  2. Salva il file e riavvia gemini.
  3. Esegui /mcp nella Gemini CLI — BambooHR dovrebbe essere elencato come disponibile.
  4. Vertex AI Studio: passa https://cloud.anythingmcp.com/mcp nell'array tools della richiesta con lo stesso header Bearer.
