Anki MCP Server

A Model Context Protocol (MCP) server that enables LLMs to interact with Anki flashcard software through the AnkiConnect API.

Features

  • Create new decks in Anki
  • Add notes to existing decks
  • List available decks and note models
  • Search for notes using Anki's search syntax
  • Get detailed information about note models and their fields
  • Bulk add multiple notes at once

Prerequisites

  • Node.js (v14 or later)
  • Anki with the AnkiConnect add-on installed
  • A Model Context Protocol compatible client (such as Claude with Anthropic MCP support)

Installation

  1. Make sure you have Anki installed with the AnkiConnect add-on
    • Install AnkiConnect by going to Tools > Add-ons > Get Add-ons and entering code: 2055492159
  2. Clone this repository:
    git clone https://github.com/yourusername/anki-mcp-server.git cd anki-mcp-server
  3. Install dependencies:
    npm install
  4. Build the project:
    npm run build

Usage

  1. Make sure Anki is running on your computer with AnkiConnect enabled
  2. Start the MCP server:
    npm start
  3. Connect your MCP client (e.g., Claude) to this server

Available Tools

The server provides the following tools to MCP clients:

  • listDecks: Get a list of all decks in Anki
  • listModels: Get a list of all note models/types in Anki
  • createDeck: Create a new deck in Anki
  • getModel: Get details about a specific note model/type
  • addNote: Add a single note to a deck
  • addNotes: Add multiple notes at once
  • searchNotes: Search for notes using Anki's search syntax

Examples

Create a New Deck

{ "name": "createDeck", "arguments": { "name": "My New Deck" } }

Add a Note

{ "name": "addNote", "arguments": { "deckName": "My New Deck", "modelName": "Basic", "fields": { "Front": "What is the capital of France?", "Back": "Paris" }, "tags": ["geography", "europe"] } }

Search Notes

{ "name": "searchNotes", "arguments": { "query": "deck:\"My New Deck\" tag:geography" } }

Configuration

The server configuration is in the config object in src/index.ts. You can modify:

  • ankiConnectUrl: URL for the AnkiConnect API (default: http://localhost:8765)
  • apiVersion: API version for AnkiConnect (default: 6)
  • defaultDeckName: Default deck to use if none specified (default: Default)

Troubleshooting

  1. Cannot connect to Anki
    • Make sure Anki is running
    • Check that AnkiConnect add-on is installed and working
    • Verify that the AnkiConnect URL is correct (default: http://localhost:8765)
  2. Permission issues with AnkiConnect
    • AnkiConnect may prompt for permission when the server tries to add cards. Look for a popup in Anki.
