myanimelist-mcp-server

An MCP (Model Context Protocol) server for the MyAnimeList API v2, designed to be deployed on Cloudflare Workers.

It exposes the MyAnimeList public API as a set of MCP tools that any MCP-compatible client (Claude Desktop, Cursor, Windsurf, etc.) can call.

Authentication

No env vars or secrets needed. Pass your MAL Client ID as a Bearer token:

Authorization: Bearer <your_mal_client_id>

Register your application at https://myanimelist.net/apiconfig to obtain a Client ID.

No secrets to set — the Client ID is provided per-request by the MCP client.

Connecting an MCP client

Point your MCP client at the /mcp route using the Streamable HTTP transport, with your MAL Client ID as the Bearer token:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "myanimelist": {
      "url": "https://myanimelist-mcp-server.<your-subdomain>.workers.dev/mcp",
      "headers": {
        "Authorization": "Bearer <your_mal_client_id>"
      }
    }
  }
}
