Anki MCP Server

Overview

Anki MCP Server is a Model Context Protocol (MCP) server: MCP server for Anki flashcards: adaptive review, notes, media, and deck management via AnkiConnect. As an MCP server it plugs straight into AI assistants, exposing its functionality as tools the model can invoke on your behalf.

It runs locally: the npm package @ankimcp/anki-mcp-server speaks MCP over stdio on your machine. No credentials are required — it works out of the box. The current release is v0.24.2, published under the MIT license, with source at ankimcp/anki-mcp-server on GitHub, where it has earned 459 stars.

You'll find Anki MCP Server in the AI & Agents category here on mcp.site; it connects to Claude Desktop, Claude Code, Cursor, VS Code, Windsurf, Zed, and any other MCP client — see the install snippets below.
