Description

Self-hosted MCP middleware that converts any existing API (REST, SOAP, GraphQL, databases) into MCP servers with a visual editor. Supports OpenAPI/Swagger import, Postman collections, WSDL parsing, and database schema introspection. Includes built-in authentication (OAuth2, API keys), audit logging, and role-based access control.

Validate Claims

1. Clone the repo and run ./setup.sh (Docker required) — takes about 2-3 minutes
2. Open http://localhost:3000, register an admin account
3. Create a REST connector pointing to any public API (e.g., JSONPlaceholder) and import its OpenAPI spec
4. Add AnythingMCP to Claude Code:

   claude mcp add anythingmcp --transport http --url http://localhost:4000/mcp

5. Run claude mcp list to verify the tools are available, then call one of the imported tools

Specific Task(s)

1. Deploy AnythingMCP locally with Docker:

   git clone https://github.com/HelpCode-ai/anythingmcp.git && cd anythingmcp && ./setup.sh

2. Create a REST connector in the UI (http://localhost:3000) and import an OpenAPI spec (e.g., the Petstore API)
3. Register the MCP server in Claude Code:

   claude mcp add anythingmcp --transport http --url http://localhost:4000/mcp

4. Verify with claude mcp list and use the imported tools to query the API

Specific Prompt(s)

After deploying AnythingMCP and adding it via claude mcp add, start a Claude Code session and say: "Use the AnythingMCP tools to list all available pets from the Petstore API" or "Query the connected API to get all users"

Additional Comments

AnythingMCP was built from real-world needs at a German industrial group connecting 15+ legacy systems (ERP, CRM, IoT) to AI agents. It supports 5 connector types (REST, SOAP, GraphQL, Database, MCP-to-MCP Bridge), 6 import formats, and works with Claude Desktop, Claude Code, ChatGPT, Gemini, GitHub Copilot, and Cursor. One-click deploy available on Railway.
