AnkiConnect MCP Server

MCPOpen Source35.3

by samefarrar • Scheduling & Calendar

Connects Claude conversations to Anki via AnkiConnect so agents can query due cards and submit review results.

Example Use Cases

1
Report how many Anki cards are due today (optionally filtered by deck) to decide whether to run a review session.
2
Fetch a set of due cards (questions and answers in XML) to present flashcards or generate study prompts.
3
Submit review outcomes (wrong/hard/good/easy) back to Anki to update scheduling and spaced-repetition state.

Description

This MCP server bridges Claude (via MCP) and Anki using the AnkiConnect plugin, exposing tools to count due cards, fetch due cards (as XML), and submit review ratings. It requires Anki running with the AnkiConnect add-on and a small Claude desktop MCP configuration to register the server. The integration makes it easy to ask a conversational agent to go through today's flashcards or create and submit reviews programmatically. Debugging instructions and a workflow for using the MCP Inspector are included to help development and troubleshooting.
