Prerequisiti

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

FRONT_API_TOKEN

Step 1 — Ottieni le credenziali

frontapp.com/reference).

Setup:

  1. Sign in to Front → Settings (top-right) → Developers → API Tokens → Create API Token.
  2. Pick scope: private (full-access to all inboxes/conversations) or scoped to a specific inbox/role.
  3. Copy the token. Set FRONT_API_TOKEN.

Authentication: Authorization: Bearer ${FRONT_API_TOKEN}.

Front's tile model:

  • Conversation = a thread between your team and one or more contacts. Has status (open/archived/spam/deleted), assignee, inbox, tags.
  • Message = each inbound/outbound email, SMS, chat, etc. within a conversation.
  • Contact = an external entity (a customer).

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 — Front 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.
