anki-mcp

Enables safe, review-first Anki authoring with tools to inspect structure, create note types, add notes, preview renderings, and manage cards via AnkiConnect.

Caution. Specific findings reduced this grade. They are listed on the page. Grades reflect the full trust pyramid: code, verification depth, and reputation. New projects cap at C until adoption is earned.

These names and descriptions are the publisher's own, read from the source code. We print them as written. Our assessment is the findings above, not this list.

get_runtime_status

Report whether AnkiConnect is reachable and whether preview can use the optional extension path.

list_decks

List available Anki decks using official hierarchical deck names.

list_note_types

Return available Anki note types with field and template summaries.

get_note_type_schema

Inspect fields, templates, CSS, and field bindings for one note type.

search_notes

Search existing notes by Anki query, note type, deck, or tag filters.

get_notes

Read concrete note fields and metadata by note ID.

ensure_deck

Create a deck if missing. Safe and idempotent.

upsert_note_type

Dry-run by default. Create or update a note type with additive-safe constraints.

add_note

Create a review-pending note directly from deck, note type, fields, and tags.

add_notes_batch

Create multiple review-pending notes with stable per-item outcomes.

update_note

Update note fields or tags with optimistic mod-timestamp conflict detection.

delete_note

Delete a note directly by note ID. Idempotent when already missing.

delete_notes_batch

Delete multiple notes with stable per-item outcomes.

open_note_preview

Open the existing note in Anki Browser preview for human review.

set_note_cards_suspended

Suspend or unsuspend all cards generated from one note.

import_media_asset

Import a local audio or image file into Anki media and return an Anki-ready field value.

All four hints declared on every tool

16/16 tools missing one or more hints — get_runtime_status (missing: destructiveHint, idempotentHint, openWorldHint); list_decks (missing: destructiveHint, idempotentHint, openWorldHint); list_note_types (missing: destructiveHint, idempotentHint, openWorldHint), +13 more. OpenAI's directory rejects tools where any of the four hints are missing or non-boolean.

For every tool, set all four hints (readOnlyHint, destructiveHint, idempotentHint, openWorldHint) to explicit true/false values that match the handler’s actual behaviour.

Tool inputs are validated

Only 0/16 tool handlers declare input schemas (0%)

Declare an inputSchema with zod/joi/yup on every tool definition.

Shell command execution

1 child_process call — runs shell commands

Prefer library functions over shell-outs. If you must shell out, ensure all inputs are properly escaped.

No arbitrary install scripts

Has postinstall/preinstall script — runs arbitrary code on npm install

Remove postinstall/preinstall hooks unless they’re essential.

Production dependencies are patched

0 critical, 3 high severity in production deps — @modelcontextprotocol/sdk@1.18.1 (high), @modelcontextprotocol/sdk@1.18.1 (high)

Run npm audit fix, or upgrade the affected packages to a non-vulnerable version.

Dev dependencies

1 critical/high in dev-only deps (does not ship to users)

Upgrade dev dependencies when convenient.

// full audit trail
The findings above are the summary. The full trail, every check we ran, each deduction, the network hosts observed and the dependency advisories, goes to verified publishers, along with an alert whenever a new one lands. Verified publishers can also review each finding and dispute it in one click. Publisher corrections have sharpened several of our checks this month, because the maintainer knows the codebase better than any scanner.
// improvement guidance — verified publishers only
We have 6 concrete improvements we can share with the publisher of this MCP. Each comes with specific guidance to raise the trust score.
