MCP.Pizza Chef: CamdenClark

The anki-mcp-server is a TypeScript-based Model Context Protocol server that integrates with Anki through the AnkiConnect plugin. It exposes Anki decks and note models as structured resources with unique URIs, enabling LLMs to access and manipulate flashcard data programmatically. The server provides tools to list decks and models, retrieve model details, and create single or bulk notes with specified fields and tags. This integration facilitates advanced AI-driven workflows for managing Anki flashcards, demonstrating core MCP concepts such as resource representation and tool invocation within the Anki ecosystem.

anki-mcp MCP Server

A server to integrate with Anki via the AnkiConnect plugin

This is a TypeScript-based MCP server that integrates with Anki via the AnkiConnect plugin. It demonstrates core MCP concepts by providing:

  • Resources representing Anki decks and note models with URIs
  • Tools for creating and managing Anki notes
  • Integration with AnkiConnect API

Features

Resources

  • List and access Anki decks via anki://decks/{id} URIs
  • List and access note models via anki://models/{id} URIs
  • JSON representation of Anki objects

Tools

  • listDecks - Get names of all decks
  • listModels - Get names of all note models
  • getModel - Get details of a specific note model
  • addNote - Create a single note
    • Specify deck name, model name, fields and tags
  • addNotes - Create multiple notes in bulk
    • Create many notes with specified parameters

Development

Install dependencies:

npm install

Build the server:

npm run build

For development with auto-rebuild:

npm run watch

Installation

To use with Claude Desktop, add the server config:

On MacOS: ~/Library/Application Support/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json On Windows: %APPDATA%/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "anki-mcp": {
      "command": "node",
      "args": ["d:\\anki-mcp-server\\build\\index.js"]
    }
  }
}

Debugging

Since MCP servers communicate over stdio, debugging can be challenging. We recommend using the MCP Inspector, which is available as a package script:

npm run inspector

The Inspector will provide a URL to access debugging tools in your browser.
