Anki MCP Server

The Anki MCP Server lets your AI operate your Anki directly — create cards, manage decks, add media, and run adaptive review — all via AnkiConnect.

For example, "turn this note into 10 flashcards and put them in my 'English' deck" — the AI uses this server to create the cards in bulk.
