One question in Claude, answered from Etsy, SAP and a logistics API.

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 [email protected]. SSO and SCIM are self-hosted only, with an Enterprise licence.
How it works
- 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.
- 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.
- 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:
