概览

What is Anki MCP Server?

A Model Context Protocol (MCP) server that enables LLMs to interact with Anki flashcard software through the AnkiConnect add-on. It bridges AI agents and Anki for creating, searching, updating, and deleting flashcards and decks.

How to use Anki MCP Server?

Install Anki and the AnkiConnect add-on, then configure your MCP client (Claude Desktop, Cline, etc.) to launch the server via npx --yes anki-mcp-server. Optionally specify a custom AnkiConnect port with --port. For Claude Desktop, you can also install a packaged .mcpb extension. Claude Code users can add the Anki skill with npx skills add nailuoGG/anki-mcp-server@anki.

Key features of Anki MCP Server

16 tools for Anki operations (deck, note, tag, sync management)
Readable resources exposing decks, tags, and note type schemas
Supports AnkiConnect at default or custom ports
Legacy unprefixed tool names remain for backward compatibility
Automated CI/CD publishing to NPM and MCP Registry
Packaged as a Desktop Extension (.mcpb) for one-click Claude Desktop install

Use cases of Anki MCP Server

Create new Anki decks and add basic or cloze deletion cards
Search, update, and delete existing notes programmatically
Batch create multiple notes in one request
Add or remove tags from notes for organization
Trigger AnkiWeb sync from an LLM agent

FAQ from Anki MCP Server

What prerequisites does Anki MCP Server require?

Anki must be installed with the AnkiConnect add-on, and Node.js 20.11 or newer is required.

Does Anki MCP Server support authentication or alternative transports?

No authentication is mentioned. It communicates with AnkiConnect over HTTP (stdio is used for MCP transport). No other transports are described.

Where does my card data live?

All data resides in your local Anki collection. The server does not store or transmit data externally, except when you trigger AnkiWeb sync.

What is the limitation of the sync tool?

The sync tool is fire-and-forget; a success response means Anki accepted the request, not that AnkiWeb received the data. A blocking dialog in Anki can keep the sync queued silently.

Can I use the .mcpb packaged version as the MCP server?

No—do not use the .mcpb packaged version as the MCP server because it outputs Electron metadata to stdout, which breaks the MCP stdio protocol. Use npx -y anki-mcp-server instead.
