AnythingMCP — Claude Code MCP server: install
AnythingMCP turns REST, SOAP, GraphQL, OData and SQL systems into MCP tools. Use it when an AI client needs access to existing APIs without a custom MCP server.
claude mcp add --transport http anythingmcp https://cloud.anythingmcp.com/mcpWhat AnythingMCP does
AnythingMCP is a self-hosted MCP gateway with ready connectors for SAP, Etsy, weclapp and Amazon Seller. You can also connect an OpenAPI spec, WSDL service, GraphQL endpoint, Postman collection or database. Each source operation becomes an MCP tool, while the visual editor lets you rename tools, describe them, remove fields and assign role-based access.
The Docker setup creates a directory, downloads docker-compose.yml, writes JWT_SECRET and ENCRYPTION_KEY, then starts the containers. The web interface is available at http://localhost:3000; the MCP endpoint is http://localhost:4000/mcp. Docker 24+ and openssl are required, so the server will not start without them. The image targets amd64 and runs on Apple Silicon through emulation.
The hosted endpoint is https://cloud.anythingmcp.com/mcp. Add it to Claude Code, Codex, Cursor, GitHub Copilot or Gemini CLI using the client-specific setup. Keep the generated .env: its encryption key is needed to decrypt stored connector credentials.
What it helps with
- connect a REST API to an MCP client
- turn SOAP operations into callable tools
- import GraphQL queries and mutations
- expose database actions through role-based access
- remove fields before data leaves the network
Example prompts for the agent
- Connect our OpenAPI specification to AnythingMCP and list the available operations.
- Use the SAP connector to find an order and return its current status.
- Create an MCP tool from this GraphQL endpoint with read operations only.
