UK Companies House + Gemini
Search and inspect the official UK companies register: company profiles, directors and secretaries, filing history. Free public API with a 600 requests / 5 minutes rate limit. The UK equivalent of the German Handelsregister.
前提条件
完整的设置说明已内置在连接器中 (在 store 中选择连接器时可见)。所需环境变量:
COMPANIES_HOUSE_API_KEY
步骤 1 — 获取凭证
Getting an API key: register a free account at https://developer.company-information.service.gov.uk → 'Manage applications' → 'Create an application' (pick Live or Test) → 'Create new key' → REST. Copy the generated key into COMPANIES_HOUSE_API_KEY.
Authentication quirk: Companies House uses HTTP Basic Auth where the API key is the username and the password is empty (the canonical curl shape is -u API_KEY:). This adapter mirrors that — leave the password configuration empty.
Company numbers: always 8 characters, zero-padded (e.g. 00006400 not 6400). The search endpoint returns matches with the canonical number you can feed into the other tools.
…(continued in the in-app connector instructions)
步骤 2 — 安装 adapter
git clone https://github.com/HelpCode-ai/anythingmcp.git
cd anythingmcp && docker compose up -d
步骤 3 — 在 Gemini 中添加连接器
Gemini CLI 从 ~/.gemini/settings.json (Windows: %APPDATA%\gemini\settings.json) 读取 MCP 服务器。添加:
{
"mcpServers": {
"anythingmcp": {
"httpUrl": "https://cloud.anythingmcp.com/mcp",
"headers": { "Authorization": "Bearer YOUR_MCP_API_KEY" }
}
}
}
- 从 AnythingMCP 获取你的 MCP API key。
- 保存文件并重启
gemini。 - 在 Gemini CLI 中运行
/mcp—UK Companies House应显示为可用。 - Vertex AI Studio: 将
https://cloud.anythingmcp.com/mcp传入请求的tools数组,使用相同的 Bearer 头。
