### Description (declared)

# Anki Addons MCP

An [MCP](https://modelcontextprotocol.io) server that gives LLM clients read-only access to the
[Anki Addons dataset](https://huggingface.co/datasets/Ya-Alex/anki-addons): every addon in the AnkiWeb
catalog, enriched with GitHub, Anki Forum and AI-summary and AI-tag data, published as monthly snapshots.

It answers questions such as "which addon does X?", "will it work on Anki 25.02?", "is it maintained?",
and "what changed since last month?".

## Use it locally (STDIO)

Requires [uv](https://docs.astral.sh/uv/). `uvx` runs the [PyPI package](https://pypi.org/project/anki-addons-mcp/)
in an isolated, cached environment; to run a working copy instead, see
[Run from sources](https://github.com/Aleks-Ya/anki-addons-mcp/blob/main/README-DEV.md#run-from-sources).

Register the server in Claude Code:

```bash
claude mcp add anki-addons -- uvx anki-addons-mcp
```

Other MCP clients use the same command (`uvx anki-addons-mcp`) in their server configuration, e.g.:

```json
{
  "mcpServers": {
    "anki-addons": { "command": "uvx", "args": ["anki-addons-mcp"] }
  }
}
```

The first start downloads the latest snapshot (~15 MB) into the HuggingFace cache. Older snapshots are
downloaded on demand by history tools, so the first history question can take a minute.

## Use it remotely (Streamable HTTP)

Connect to the hosted instance on the [HuggingFace Space](https://huggingface.co/spaces/Ya-Alex/anki-addons-mcp)
by URL:

```bash
claude mcp add --transport http anki-addons https://ya-alex-anki-addons-mcp.hf.space/mcp
```

The Space sleeps after inactivity, so the first request can take a while. To ex…
