What is AnythingMCP?

AnythingMCP is a self-hosted, open-source MCP gateway and MCP server that turns REST, SOAP/WSDL, GraphQL, SQL/NoSQL databases, and other MCP servers into AI tools for Claude, ChatGPT, Gemini, Copilot, and Cursor. It ships with 175+ ready-to-use adapters and requires no code or SDK changes — import a spec or point it at a database to create custom connectors.

How to use AnythingMCP?

Requires Docker 24+, bash, and openssl. Clone the repository and run ./setup.sh to start the interactive setup. When finished, open http://localhost:3000 and register the first user (that user becomes the admin). Alternatively, deploy via one-click buttons for Railway, DigitalOcean, or the AnythingMCP Cloud service. For manual setup, copy .env.example to .env and run docker compose up -d.

FAQ from AnythingMCP

What transport/authentication methods does AnythingMCP support?

It supports OAuth2 (PKCE + Client Credentials), Bearer, API Key, Basic, WS‑Security, client certificates, LOGIN_TOKEN, and OAuth 1.0a handshakes — with AES‑256‑GCM encryption at rest for all credentials.

What runtime dependencies does AnythingMCP require?

You need Docker 24+, bash, and openssl. On macOS, Docker Desktop must be started first. The setup script handles deployment mode, domain, HTTPS (via Let's Encrypt and Caddy), secrets, MCP auth mode, and optional SMTP/Redis.

Where are my API credentials stored?

Credentials stay on your own infrastructure. AnythingMCP runs on your Docker host or cloud VM and encrypts all credentials with AES‑256‑GCM at rest. No credentials are sent to a SaaS gateway.

Does AnythingMCP support multiple AI clients simultaneously?

Yes. The same connector works in Claude, ChatGPT, Gemini, Copilot, and Cursor at the same time — build once, connect everywhere.

Are there pre-built connectors for common services?

Yes. AnythingMCP ships with over 175 pre-built adapters for logistics (DHL, Deutsche Bahn), ERP (weclapp, Xentral), e‑commerce (Etsy, Shopware), HR (Personio), government data (VIES VAT), banking (N26), and many more — installable in one click.
