Prerequisiti

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

FRESHBOOKS_CLIENT_ID, FRESHBOOKS_CLIENT_SECRET, FRESHBOOKS_REFRESH_TOKEN, FRESHBOOKS_ACCOUNT_ID

Step 1 — Ottieni le credenziali

This connector wraps the FreshBooks New API (api.freshbooks.com/accounting).

Setup — OAuth2 refresh flow:

  1. Go to https://my.freshbooks.com/#/developerCreate an App. Set redirect URI to your callback.
  2. Run the auth flow: https://my.freshbooks.com/oauth/authorize?response_type=code&client_id=...&redirect_uri=...&scope=user:profile:read user:clients:read user:invoices:read user:invoices:write user:expenses:read user:time_entries:read user:payments:read user:payments:write.
  3. Exchange the code at https://api.freshbooks.com/auth/oauth/token for access + refresh tokens.

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 Cursor

Cursor legge i server MCP da ~/.cursor/mcp.json. Aggiungi questa voce:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "anythingmcp": {
      "url": "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 Cursor.
  3. Apri Cursor → Impostazioni → MCP per verificare che FreshBooks sia presente e "Connected".
  4. Inizia a chattare — tutti gli strumenti di FreshBooks sono ora invocabili.
