- Tools for creating and managing Anki notes
- Integration with AnkiConnect API
Features
Resources

On Windows: %APPDATA%/Claude/claude_desktop_config.jsonDebugging
Since MCP servers communicate over stdio, debugging can be challenging. We recommend using the MCP Inspector, which is available as a package script:
The Inspector will provide a URL to access debugging tools in your browser.
