🏭 Origin story. AnythingMCP started inside a German industrial group that needed AI agents to talk to 15+ legacy systems (ERP, CRM, custom SOAP, on-prem Postgres). Writing one MCP server per system would have taken weeks each; we extracted the common gateway after the third rewrite and have been running it in production for ~6 months. We open-sourced it because the catalog grows faster as a community than as a single vendor. Built by a small team using AI coding assistants — see AUTHORS.md.

What is AnythingMCP?

AnythingMCP is a self-hosted, source-available MCP server and API gateway that turns your existing APIs into Model Context Protocol tools. Connect any API — REST, SOAP, GraphQL, databases, or other MCP servers — and expose them to Claude, ChatGPT, Gemini, Copilot, Cursor, and any other MCP-compatible client.

No SDK. No code changes. Point, configure, connect.

Built-in adapters ship with the catalog so you get an instant MCP server for popular SaaS and public APIs — DHL, DPD, GLS, Shipcloud, Sendcloud, Deutsche Bahn, DATEV, Weclapp, Xentral, Shopware 6, Personio, Handelsregister, VIES VAT, OpenPLZ, HERE Geocoding, Oxomi and more (full list below).

Get started in 60 seconds

Requires Docker 24+, bash, openssl. On macOS, start Docker Desktop first.

git clone https://github.com/HelpCode-ai/anythingmcp.git
cd anythingmcp && ./setup.sh
# When setup finishes, open http://localhost:3000 and register
# the first user — they automatically become the admin.

⚠️ Register immediately after setup. The first account to register becomes Admin. If your instance is reachable from the internet during setup, configure firewall rules or bind the UI to 127.0.0.1 until you've created the admin account.

Or one-click deploy

Use cases

• Talk to your ERP from Claude Desktop — connect SAP, Oracle, Weclapp, Xentral, DATEV or any REST/SOAP ERP and query it conversationally
• Track parcels with AI — built-in MCP servers for DHL, DPD, GLS, Shipcloud and Sendcloud
• Automate B2B compliance — pre-flight every invoice with VIES VAT validation and Handelsregister lookups
• Let AI agents query your production database safely — read-only database connectors with audit logging
• Bridge legacy SOAP services to modern AI workflows — automatic WSDL parsing, no code changes
• Aggregate multiple MCP servers behind one gateway — MCP-to-MCP bridge for unified tool access
• Import your Postman collection and get MCP tools instantly — zero-config API onboarding

Why AnythingMCP

How it compares

Key features

• 5 connector types — REST, SOAP, GraphQL, Database (PostgreSQL, MySQL, MariaDB, MSSQL, Oracle, MongoDB, SQLite), MCP-to-MCP bridge
• 6 import formats — OpenAPI/Swagger, Postman, cURL, WSDL, GraphQL introspection, custom JSON
• 36+ pre-built adapters — logistics, ERP, HR, public data, payments, e-commerce, messaging — see catalog
• Dynamic MCP server — tools registered at runtime, no restart
• Visual tool editor — map parameters to path, query, body, headers visually
• Database auto-tools — schema introspection + dynamic query execution out of the box
• Environment variables — per-connector {{VAR}} interpolation, hidden from AI
• Full auth — OAuth2 (PKCE + Client Credentials), Bearer, API Key, Basic, Query, WS-Security, Certificates
• Audit logging — every tool call logged with input, output, duration, status
• Roles & access control — tool-level whitelisting per custom role
• Per-user MCP API keys — individual keys with usage tracking
• Docker ready — docker compose up and you're running

Pre-configured MCP connectors

AnythingMCP ships with 37+ ready-to-use adapters — DACH-rooted but reaching the UK, India, Brasil, Nigeria, Japan and the global gaming web3 space. Provide your API credentials at import time and the tools become available immediately. Each adapter has its own setup guide on anythingmcp.com (English, German, Italian).

📍 Catalog heads-up. The starting set leans DACH (Germany / Austria / Switzerland) because that's where this was built in production first, with first-wave international coverage now landing across 🇬🇧 UK, 🇮🇳 India, 🇧🇷 Brasil, 🇳🇬 Nigeria and 🇯🇵 Japan. US/APAC SaaS adapters are very welcome as community PRs — there's a good-first-issue walking you through adding one in ~30 minutes (single JSON file).

🎮 Gaming & Web3 — featured

Sorare is also the reference implementation of AnythingMCP's new LOGIN_TOKEN AuthType — a declarative spec for any API that requires a custom bcrypt-style sign-in handshake before issuing a long-lived bearer. Reuse the pattern for any other crypto / fintech / gaming API with non-OAuth auth: see docs/connectors/login-token-auth.md.

📦 Logistics & shipping

💼 ERP, accounting & invoicing

Want to add your own? Drop a JSON adapter in packages/backend/src/adapters/ (organised by region — e.g. de/), register it in catalog.ts, and it becomes available to every user. The catalog.spec.ts parametrised test validates every adapter at build time. See the existing adapters and the Tool Definition Format for the expected schema.

Quick Start

git clone https://github.com/HelpCode-ai/anythingmcp.git
cd anythingmcp
./setup.sh        # interactive setup — generates .env, starts Docker

The setup script configures everything interactively: deployment mode, domain/SSL, auth, email, Redis. All secrets are auto-generated. First user to register becomes Admin.

What setup.sh handles

• Domain & HTTPS — for production domains, enables Caddy reverse proxy with automatic Let's Encrypt SSL
• Secrets — generates JWT, encryption keys, and database passwords
• MCP authentication mode — OAuth 2.0, API Key, or both
• Optional — SMTP and Redis configuration

Prefer manual setup? Copy .env.example to .env, edit the values, and run docker compose up -d. See the Deployment Guide.

Next — create a connector, import your API spec, and connect your AI client. See Connector guides below.

Connect your AI client

Architecture

How it works

1. Create a connector — point to your API (REST base URL, WSDL endpoint, GraphQL URL, DB connection string) or pick a pre-built adapter from the catalog
2. Import or define tools — auto-import from OpenAPI / Postman / WSDL / GraphQL or define manually (pre-built adapters skip this step)
3. Connect AI clients — point your MCP client to http://your-server:4000/mcp
4. AI calls tools — AnythingMCP translates MCP tool calls into actual API requests and returns results
