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:

MESSAGEBIRD_ACCESS_KEY

步骤 1 — 获取凭证

messagebird.com).

Note: MessageBird rebranded to Bird in 2023 (bird.com). The API endpoints at rest.messagebird.com remain functional for existing customers as of 2025; new accounts may have different endpoint paths. Verify with your account dashboard.

Setup:

  1. Sign in to https://dashboard.messagebird.comDevelopers → API access → Live or Test → copy AccessKey.
  2. Set MESSAGEBIRD_ACCESS_KEY.

Authentication: header Authorization: AccessKey ${MESSAGEBIRD_ACCESS_KEY} (literal 'AccessKey' prefix).

Recipients format: international phone numbers WITHOUT the + sign. e.g. 31612345678 for the Netherlands.

…(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 /mcpMessageBird (Bird) 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。
