# anki-mcp MCP Server
A server to integrate with Anki via the AnkiConnect plugin
This is a TypeScript-based MCP server that integrates with Anki via the AnkiConnect plugin. It demonstrates core MCP concepts by providing:
- Resources representing Anki decks and note models with URIs
- Tools for creating and managing Anki notes
- Integration with AnkiConnect API
## Features
### Resources
- List and access Anki decks via `anki://decks/{id}` URIs
- List and access note models via `anki://models/{id}` URIs
- JSON representation of Anki objects
### Tools
- `listDecks` - Get names of all decks
- `listModels` - Get names of all note models
- `getModel` - Get details of a specific note model
- `addNote` - Create a single note
- Specify deck name, model name, fields and tags
- `addNotes` - Create multiple notes in bulk
- Create many notes with specified parameters
## Development
Install dependencies:
```bash
npm install
```
Build the server:
```bash
npm run build
```
For development with auto-rebuild:
```bash
npm run watch
```
## Installation
To use with Claude Desktop, add the server config:
On MacOS: `~/Library/Application Support/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json`
On Windows: `%APPDATA%/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json`
```json
{
"mcpServers": {
"anki-mcp": {
"command": "node",
"args": ["d:\\anki-mcp-server\\build\\index.js"]
}
}
}
```
### Debugging
Since MCP servers communicate over stdio, debugging can be challenging. We recommend using the [MCP Inspector](https://github.com/modelcontextprotocol/inspector), which is available as a package script:
```bash
npm run inspector
```
The Inspector will provide a URL to access debugging tools in your browser.
