@deck_mcp.tool( name="deckNamesAndIds", description="Gets the complete list of deck names and their respective IDs. Returns a dictionary mapping deck names to their IDs.", ) async def list_deck_names_and_ids_tool() -> Dict[str, int]: return await anki_call("deckNamesAndIds") - src/anki_mcp/__init__.py:23-23 (registration)Registers the deck_mcp tools with the 'deck' prefix, making 'deckNamesAndIds' available as 'deck_deckNamesAndIds'.
await anki_mcp.import_server("deck", deck_mcp) - src/anki_mcp/common.py:8-23 (helper)Utility function used by the handler to make asynchronous HTTP requests to the AnkiConnect server.
