What your AI gets

A gateway forwards calls. A company brain also knows where your documents are, how your systems connect and what your company has already decided. AnythingMCP gives every AI client both, through one MCP endpoint:

	What it does	Edition
Every system, one endpoint	696 catalog connectors, or your own REST/OpenAPI, SOAP, GraphQL, OData, SQL, IMAP/SMTP or MCP source. Tools register at runtime. Connectors	All
File Search	Indexes SFTP, FTP/FTPS, WebDAV (Nextcloud, NAS), S3 or a network share: every PDF page, Excel rows with their column names, Word, PowerPoint, Outlook mails with attachments. The AI answers with file, page and date. File Search	Cloud; self-hosted Enterprise
File Share	Temporary download links for files from your folders, or for files the AI writes (a CSV export, a report), internal or public, with expiry and revoke. File Share	Cloud; self-hosted Enterprise
Company memory	Facts and preferences saved from one AI client and found again in any other: said once in Claude, used by Copilot. Personal and company scopes, with folders and role limits. Memory	Enterprise
AI skills	The procedures your agents follow, written by hand or learned from real requests and fixed errors, approved by an admin. AI skills	All
Knowledge graph	How your systems connect, so the agent links a customer in one system to their orders in another without being told. Knowledge Graph	All
Code Mode	One short program that calls several tools in an isolated sandbox with no secrets and no network, so a five-step lookup becomes one call. Code Mode	All; write access Enterprise
Governance	Roles and per-tool permissions, response mapping that drops fields before they reach the model, an audit log of every call. SSO and SCIM from your directory. Security	All; SSO/SCIM Enterprise

The self-hosted Community edition is free under AGPL-3.0 for any use, including commercial use, for up to 3 active users, with unlimited connectors and MCP servers. More users, single sign-on, SCIM, File Search beyond the 30-day trial and support come with Enterprise, on request: contact us. Administrators can try single sign-on and SCIM for 30 days under Settings → License. Existing Starter and Team licence keys keep working.

Run it yourself

Requires Docker 24+ and openssl; on macOS, start Docker Desktop first. No clone needed:

mkdir anythingmcp && cd anythingmcp
curl -fsSLo docker-compose.yml \
  https://raw.githubusercontent.com/HelpCode-ai/anythingmcp/main/docker-compose.quickstart.yml
printf 'JWT_SECRET=%s\nENCRYPTION_KEY=%s\n' "$(openssl rand -hex 32)" "$(openssl rand -hex 32)" > .env
docker compose up -d

Open http://localhost:3000 and register: the first account becomes admin. Your MCP endpoint is http://localhost:4000/mcp, the API docs are at http://localhost:4000/api/docs.

Keep the generated .env. ENCRYPTION_KEY decrypts the credentials you store. Lose it and every connector has to be re-credentialed.

On amd64 the image pulls in about 30 s and the API is healthy 24 s later. The image is amd64 only for now; the compose file pins the platform, so it also runs on Apple Silicon under emulation.

The quickstart binds to 127.0.0.1 on purpose, because nothing in front of it terminates TLS. For an instance other people or a cloud AI client can reach, clone the repo and run ./setup.sh: it asks for a domain, gets certificates through Caddy, generates the secrets and sets the MCP auth mode. See the Deployment Guide.

AnythingMCP Cloud is the same AGPL code, operated by us in Frankfurt, Germany, with a 7-day free trial. Start there to try it on your own APIs, and move it in-house when you want the credentials to stop travelling; the connectors are the same either way. DPA/AVV on request via info@helpcode.ai. SSO and SCIM are self-hosted only, with an Enterprise licence.

How it works

1. Add a connector. Install an adapter from the catalog (a ready JSON definition for SAP, Odoo, DHL and the rest), or point AnythingMCP at your own OpenAPI spec, WSDL, GraphQL endpoint, Postman collection or database. Once configured in your workspace it is a connector, and each of its operations is an MCP tool.
2. Decide what the model sees. Rename and describe the tools in the visual editor, drop the fields that must not leave your network, and choose which roles may call which tools.
3. Hand one URL to your AI client. An MCP server is the endpoint you add to Claude, ChatGPT, Copilot, Gemini or Cursor. It exposes the connectors you assign to it, and nothing else.

Connect any API, SOAP service or database

Most companies have no MCP servers yet. They have a REST API, an ERP, a SOAP service from 2009 and a database. Each of them becomes a set of MCP tools:

Source	What you get	Docs
OpenAPI / Swagger (REST)	Import a spec by URL or paste it; every operation becomes a tool with parameters, auth and endpoint mapping filled in	REST · guide · demo: openapi-to-mcp
Postman collection, cURL	Folders, auth, body modes and {{variables}} carry over; every request becomes a tool	Postman import
SOAP / WSDL	Each operation becomes a tool; envelopes, parameter order and WCF services are handled for you	SOAP · guide · demo: soap-to-mcp
GraphQL	Introspection turns queries and mutations into tools, or you define the operations yourself	GraphQL · guide
OData (SAP Gateway included)	Reads each service's $metadata, so the model sees entity sets, keys and SAP's business labels; V2 and V4	OData · guide
SQL and MongoDB	PostgreSQL, MySQL, MariaDB, SQL Server, Oracle, SAP HANA, SQLite and MongoDB: schema, example and query tools, read-only by default	Database · SAP HANA · guide · demo: sql-to-mcp
Email (IMAP/SMTP)	Any mailbox (IONOS, Strato, GMX, T-Online, Gmail with an app password, your own mail server): list folders, search, read with attachments, flag, move, save drafts and send	Email
Another MCP server	Discover its tools and serve them next to your own, behind the same auth and audit	MCP bridge

Tools register at runtime, without a restart. Per-connector {{VAR}} values are interpolated on the server and never shown to the AI.

An adapter is a single JSON file. That is why the catalog is this size, and why adding one is a reasonable first contribution. Missing yours? Request it (we prioritise by 👍) or build it. Your ERP isn't listed, or it's a custom build? Connect its REST API, its SOAP services or its SQL database directly, read-only.

Security and governance

Everything runs on your infrastructure, so you decide what leaves it. OAuth2, roles, per-tool permissions, response mapping and the audit log are in every edition; SSO and SCIM need an Enterprise licence (a 30-day trial is built in).

• Response mapping. Each tool declares exactly which fields reach the model: drop a customer's IBAN or an employee's salary, or name the fields to keep. The editor shows the before/after on a real response; a shipped adapter goes from 12,172 B to 1,072 B (−91%), so you also stop paying for those fields in the context window. A broken mapping returns the raw response by default; set "fallbackToRaw": false on tools whose fields must never travel, and the call fails instead.
• Read-only where it matters. Every tool carries MCP annotations (readOnlyHint, destructiveHint), derived from the operation and overridable per tool. Role-based tool whitelisting lets you publish an MCP server that can only read, which is how most people should start with an ERP. Database query tools run a single SELECT and block writes and stacked statements.
• Every auth scheme you will meet. OAuth2 (PKCE and Client Credentials), Bearer, API key, Basic, HMAC request signing, LOGIN_TOKEN and OAuth 1.0a. Credentials are encrypted at rest with AES-256-GCM.
• Audit log. Every tool call is recorded with input, output, duration and status in your own database, including the full upstream response the model never saw.
• SSO and SCIM (Enterprise). Entra ID, Google, Okta, Auth0 or any OIDC provider. Roles sync from your directory groups on every sign-in; disable someone in the directory and their workspace access and MCP API keys go with it.

{
  "transform": {
    "mode": "select",
    "fallbackToRaw": false,
    "exclude": ["customer.iban", "customer.taxId"],
    "select": { "order": "$.id", "total": "$.amounts.gross", "status": "$.state" }
  }
}

Use it from Claude, ChatGPT, Copilot and Gemini

The same MCP server works in every client that speaks MCP, so you build a connector once:

• Claude. Add the server URL as a custom connector under Customize → Connectors; it then works in Claude.ai, Claude Desktop and Claude Code. OAuth 2.0 is supported out of the box. On AnythingMCP Cloud you can also add it in one click from the Claude Directory. Claude setup
• ChatGPT. On AnythingMCP Cloud, the AnythingMCP plugin in the ChatGPT Plugin Directory answers questions from your company databases, read-only. For every connector, add the server under Plugins in ChatGPT (Add → Add custom MCP server), or use it as the tool layer of an Apps SDK app. ChatGPT setup
• Meta Muse. In Muse, open Settings → Connectors → Add custom connector, paste the server URL and sign in to AnythingMCP. Muse setup
• Copilot, Gemini, Cursor and other MCP clients: client setup guides.
