Allows importing and exporting Anki .apkg decks into Flash, preserving cloze deletions, hints, images, audio, LaTeX, typed answers, and nested decks so flashcards can be moved between Anki and Flash.
This server has a remotely hosted endpoint. Open its connector listing for connection details, authentication requirements, and setup instructions:
A self-hosted spaced-repetition server. Connect ChatGPT, Claude or any MCP
client: it writes cards into your decks and quizzes you, and Flash schedules
every review with FSRS.
One Rust binary, one data folder. Imports and exports Anki .apkg decks.
docker run -d --name flash -p 127.0.0.1:8437:8437 -v flash-data:/data ghcr.io/flash-cards/flash
docker logs flash | grep enrollOpen the enroll link at http://localhost:8437 and you are the admin; invite
everyone else from Settings. To serve it beyond your machine, put a TLS
reverse proxy in front and set FLASH_BASE_URL to its address
(docker-compose.yml is the hardened setup). Your data
is the flash-data volume: back it up, and upgrade by pulling a newer image
and recreating the container. Locked out?
docker exec flash flash-server reset-link you@example.com prints a link to
choose a new password (with compose: docker compose exec flash ...).
Installed with docker compose (as up to 0.3.0)? Your data is in that
folder's volume (docker volume ls, e.g. flash_flash-data), not in
flash-data. Upgrade from the same folder, backing up first, since
upgrades only go forward:
docker compose stop flash
docker run --rm -v flash_flash-data:/data -v "$PWD":/backup debian:bookworm-slim \
tar czf /backup/flash-data.tgz -C /data .
docker compose pull && docker compose up -dRelated MCP server: TalkToAnki
Add https://<your host>/mcp as a custom connector in ChatGPT, Claude, Grok,
Le Chat or Gemini (OAuth, no keys to copy). In a terminal:
claude mcp add --transport http flash https://<your host>/mcp. Then say
"quiz me on my deck".
The hosted version adds card generation from your files and grading of spoken answers.
AGPL-3.0-only, with embedded assets in THIRD_PARTY.md. Contributions are accepted under the CLA.
