by CamdenClark

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.
