How do I use Anima MCP Server?

1. Click on "Install Server". 2. Wait a few minutes for the server to deploy. Once ready, it will show a "Started" state. 3. In the chat, type @ followed by the MCP server name and your instructions, e.g., "@Anima MCP Server Send an email to contact@example.com about the project update." That's it! The server will respond to your query, and you can continue using it as needed. Here is a step-by-step guide with screenshots.

@anima-labs/mcp

MCP (Model Context Protocol) server for Anima -- 58 tools across 10 categories for AI agent communication, identity, and security.

Hosted vs local (which one do I want?)

Anima runs a hosted MCP gateway at https://mcp.useanima.sh/mcp -- nothing to install, always current, and it carries the fullest tool surface (it adds inbox management and other tools beyond this package's 54). If your client speaks remote MCP (Cursor, VS Code, Claude Code --transport http), point it there with Authorization: Bearer ak_... and you're done. See the MCP docs.

This npm package is the stdio bridge for clients without remote-MCP support and for pinned/air-gapped configs. Same platform, same auth, smaller tool set.

anima setup-mcp install --all            # hosted gateway (default)
anima setup-mcp install --all --mode stdio  # this package

Related MCP server: OMICall MCP Server

Installation

npm install @anima-labs/mcp
# or
bun add @anima-labs/mcp

Quick Start

# stdio mode (default -- for Claude Desktop, Cursor, Windsurf, etc.)
npx @anima-labs/mcp

# HTTP mode (for web integrations)
npx @anima-labs/mcp --http --port=8014

# Selective tool loading (only register specific groups)
npx @anima-labs/mcp --tools=email,vault,phone

Environment Variables

Variable	Required	Description
`ANIMA_API_URL`	No	API server URL (default: `https://api.useanima.sh`)
`ANIMA_API_KEY`	Yes	Agent API key (`ak_` prefix)
`ANIMA_MASTER_KEY`	No	Master key (`mk_` prefix) for admin tools

Selective Tool Loading

Use the --tools flag to load only the tool groups you need. This reduces the tool count exposed to the LLM, which can improve tool selection accuracy and reduce token usage.

npx @anima-labs/mcp --tools=email,vault,phone

Available tool groups:

Group	Description
`workspace`	Account overview and usage rollups
`agent`	Agent CRUD and address/identity management
`email`	Email send/receive, threads, drafts, attachments
`domain`	Custom sending domains: DNS, verification, zone files
`phone`	Phone number provisioning and release
`phone_call`	Outbound calls, transcripts, recordings, voices
`sms`	SMS/MMS send and conversation history
`provisioning`	Ask your human owner for a vault or phone number
`vault`	Credential vault management and TOTP
`webhook`	Webhook subscription management and testing

If --tools is not provided, all groups are registered (current default behavior).

HTTP Mode

Run the MCP server over HTTP instead of stdio for web integrations:

npx @anima-labs/mcp --http --port=8014

The server listens at http://localhost:8014/mcp and expects a Bearer <api-key> authorization header on each request.

Provisioning (4 tools)

An agent cannot provision its own vault or phone number -- vault_provision and phone_number_provision are master-key-only, and an MCP session is authenticated as the agent. These tools file the ask instead; the owner decides in the Anima console.

Approve and decline are deliberately NOT exposed as tools. An MCP tool is something the model can decide to call, and a prompt-injected agent able to approve its own request could grant itself a billable phone number -- exactly the escalation the flow exists to prevent.

Tool	Description
`provisioning_request_create`	Ask your owner to provision a vault or phone number
`provisioning_request_list`	List requests you have filed and their status
`provisioning_request_status`	Check one request; a decline carries the owner's reason

Webhook (5 tools)

`webhook_set`	Create or update a webhook subscription
`webhook_get`	Get a webhook subscription by ID
`webhook_list`	List webhook subscriptions with cursor pagination
`webhook_delete`	Delete a webhook subscription by ID
`webhook_test`	Send a test event to verify endpoint reachability and signature verification

Contributing: the contract gates

Every tool here is a thin client over the Anima REST API, which makes two lies easy to ship and nearly impossible to notice — both return a green 200:

a tool calling a route the API doesn't have, and
a tool advertising a parameter its route ignores (the API validates with Zod, which strips unknown input, so the server answers as if nothing was wrong and the model believes its filter was applied).

Two CI gates in src/__tests__/integration/contract-parity.test.ts make both impossible. They check src/tool-routes.ts — where each tool declares the routes it calls and any param it handles client-side — against src/__tests__/fixtures/contract-routes.json, a snapshot of the real @anima/contracts route surface.

Adding or changing a tool means updating its entry in src/tool-routes.ts. If a gate fails, fix the tool: editing the declaration to match a lie, or parking a param in clientParams, re-opens the exact hole the gates close.

Refreshing the snapshot (needs a checkout of the anima monorepo — it is private, so CI cannot do this for you):

bun run contracts:refresh -- --anima ../anima   # rewrite the snapshot
bun run contracts:check   -- --anima ../anima   # diff only; non-zero on drift
