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:

HELPSCOUT_ACCESS_TOKEN

步骤 1 — 获取凭证

helpscout.com/mailbox-api).

Setup:

  1. Sign in to Help Scout → Manage → Apps → My Apps → Create My App.
  2. Pick app type:
    • Personal Access Token (single-user): get a token from your profile → API Keys → Personal Access Token. Token expires after 2 days — refresh needed.
    • OAuth2 App (multi-user / longer-lived): standard OAuth2 client-credentials or auth-code flow.
  3. Set HELPSCOUT_ACCESS_TOKEN to the access token.

Authentication: Authorization: Bearer ${HELPSCOUT_ACCESS_TOKEN}. Tokens expire — your orchestrator handles refresh.

…(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" }
    }
  }
}
  1. 从 AnythingMCP 获取你的 MCP API key
  2. 保存文件并重启 gemini
  3. 在 Gemini CLI 中运行 /mcpHelp Scout 应显示为可用。
  4. Vertex AI Studio: 将 https://cloud.anythingmcp.com/mcp 传入请求的 tools 数组,使用相同的 Bearer 头。
