Mousetail's goal is to be the simplest and most reliable way of connecting Anki to an LLM. It does not require any addons, just have anki installed and an LLM you'd like to connect to your decks. Exposed over MCP by the mousetail mcp server, that capability becomes something an assistant can invoke while it works, not something you go and do afterwards.
Everything the assistant can do here goes through one of these:
Minimal — supports core anki operations: create, read, update and deleteStable — works directly with anki's stable pylib api, no addons or depsSimple — no configuration required, automatically discovers your Anki collectionsmacOS — ** KeychainWindows — ** Credential ManagerLinux — ** Secret Service (GNOME Keyring, KWallet, etc.)save_sync_credentials — Save username/password securelyload_sync_credentials — Load saved credentialsdelete_sync_credentials — Remove saved credentialsSelf — hosted servers** - Provide custom endpoint URL (e.g., https://sync.example.com)Collection — only sync** - Set sync_media: false to skip mediaConflicts — ** If conflicts occur, try syncing from Anki desktop first to resolve themBeing a remote server, there is no local install. You register the endpoint with your client, authorise it once, and the tools appear.
You will need one environment variable: PYTHONUNBUFFERED. Keep credentials in your client's env block or a secrets manager rather than in a file you might commit.
Plenty of AI and media services servers cover similar ground. The differences that matter in practice are scope of access and how much setup stands between you and a working tool call. Mousetail's toolset — Minimal, Stable, Simple and 11 more — is a fair guide to whether it matches your workflow. It is maintained by listfold; worth a glance at recent repository activity before you build anything load-bearing on it.
SyncDev reviews every entry in this directory against the project's own documentation before publishing, and revisits them as servers change.
| Tool | What it does |
|---|---|
| Minimal | supports core anki operations: create, read, update and delete |
| Stable | works directly with anki's stable pylib api, no addons or deps |
| Simple | no configuration required, automatically discovers your Anki collections |
| macOS | ** Keychain |
| Windows | ** Credential Manager |
| Linux | ** Secret Service (GNOME Keyring, KWallet, etc.) |
| save_sync_credentials | Save username/password securely |
| load_sync_credentials | Load saved credentials |
| delete_sync_credentials | Remove saved credentials |
| Self | hosted servers** - Provide custom endpoint URL (e.g., https://sync.example.com) |
| Collection | only sync** - Set sync_media: false to skip media |
| Conflicts | ** If conflicts occur, try syncing from Anki desktop first to resolve them |
| Security | ** Credentials are never stored in plain text - they're kept in your system's secure credential storage |

Build a programmable telecommunications stack for connecting telephony services with the Internet via a cloud-based utility.
Search built for AI, not humans — semantic web search that returns model-ready content, plus code context.
Answers, not links — delegate questions to Perplexity's search-grounded models and get cited responses back.
Give your assistant a voice — text-to-speech, voice cloning and audio tools from the ElevenLabs API.
Give your assistant a real code sandbox — isolated cloud VMs for actually running the code it writes.
The ML hub in your context window — search models, datasets, papers and run Spaces from the official server.
