Prerequisites

  1. Anki installed on your system
  2. AnkiConnect add-on installed in Anki

Configuration

Usage with Claude Desktop

Add the server to your claude_desktop_config.json:

{ "mcpServers": { "anki": { "command": "npx", "args": ["--yes","anki-mcp-server"] } } }

Configuration for Cline

Add the server to your Cline MCP settings file inside VSCode's settings cline_mcp_settings.json

{ "mcpServers": { "anki": { "command": "npx", "args": ["--yes","anki-mcp-server"] } } }

Development

Setup

  1. Install dependencies:
npm install
  1. Build the server:
npm run build
  1. For development with auto-rebuild:
npm run watch

Testing

Run the test suite:

npm test

This executes tests for:

  • Server initialization
  • AnkiConnect communication
  • Note operations (create/read/update/delete)
  • Deck management
  • Error handling

Debugging

Since MCP servers communicate over stdio, we recommend using the MCP Inspector:

npm run inspector

This provides a browser-based interface for:

  • Monitoring MCP messages
  • Testing tool invocations
  • Viewing server logs
  • Debugging communication issues

Example Usage

  1. Create a new deck:
Create a new Anki deck called "Programming"
  1. Add a basic card:
Create an Anki card in the "Programming" deck with: Front: What is a closure in JavaScript? Back: A closure is the combination of a function and the lexical environment within which that function was declared.
  1. Add a cloze deletion card:
Create a cloze card in the "Programming" deck with: Text: In JavaScript, {{c1::const}} declares a block-scoped variable that cannot be {{c2::reassigned}}.
