FAQ from Anki MCP Server

What are the prerequisites?

Anki installed and running, AnkiConnect add-on installed in Anki, and Node.js with npm.

How do I configure the connection to Anki?

Set the ANKI_CONNECT_URL environment variable to your Anki Connect API URL (default: http://localhost:8765). If connecting to localhost doesn't work, use your computer's local IP address (e.g., http://192.168.x.x:8765).

What tools are available?

get_leech_cards retrieves cards tagged as leeches, with optional detailed and count parameters. tag_reviewed_cards adds a date-stamped review tag to specified card IDs, with optional custom_tag_prefix.

Is there a testing mode?

Yes, set ANKI_MOCK_MODE=true to simulate Anki operations without affecting actual data. Use npm run start:test or the .env.test file.

What if I get a connection error?

Make sure Anki is running and AnkiConnect is installed. If using localhost fails, find your local IP address and update ANKI_CONNECT_URL accordingly. Ensure AnkiConnect allows connections from your IP address.
