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

## 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/claudedesktopconfig.json
On Windows: %APPDATA%/Claude/claudedesktopconfig.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, which is available as a package script:
bash
npm run inspector
The Inspector will provide a URL to access debugging tools in your browser.
