Anki MCP server for flashcard management
Stefanwille MCP server exists for a simple reason — assistants are far more useful when they can act on Stefanwille directly instead of describing what you should do. Anki MCP server for flashcard management.
Edit your Claude Desktop config (claude_desktop_config.json), and add:
Once Stefanwille is connected, these are the calls the assistant has available:
get_decks — Get all deck names from Ankicreate_deck — Create a new deckdelete_deck — Delete a deck and all its cards (including sub-decks)list_cards — List cards in a deck with front/back contentcreate_cards — Create one or more basic cards in a deckupdate_card — Update an existing card's contentrename_deck — Rename a deckPrerequisites — The Prerequisites tool exposed by this serverThe server ships on npm as pnpm, so your MCP client can launch it on demand — there is no separate build step. Add the server block to your client's configuration, restart it, and the tools register themselves.
http://127.0.0.1:8765 (default)This sits in the developer tooling group, where several servers overlap in what they claim to do but differ sharply once you actually set them up. Stefanwille's toolset — get_decks, create_deck, delete_deck and 5 more — is a fair guide to whether it matches your workflow. It is maintained by GitHub Actions; worth a glance at recent repository activity before you build anything load-bearing on it.
