### Description (declared)

# MCP-Kanka

MCP (Model Context Protocol) server for Kanka API integration. This server provides AI assistants with tools to interact with Kanka campaigns, enabling CRUD operations on various entity types like characters, locations, organizations, and more.

This package is designed specifically to serve the needs of [Teghrim](https://github.com/ervwalter/teghrim) but may be useful to others working with Kanka and MCP.

## Features

- **Entity Management**: Create, read, update, and delete Kanka entities
- **Search & Filter**: Search entities by name with partial matching, filter by type/tags/date
- **Batch Operations**: Process multiple entities in a single request
- **Posts Management**: Create, update, and delete posts (notes) on entities
- **Markdown Support**: Automatic conversion between Markdown and HTML with entity mention preservation
- **Type Safety**: Full type hints and validation
- **Client-side Filtering**: Enhanced filtering beyond API limitations
- **Sync Support**: Efficient synchronization with timestamp tracking and Kanka's native lastSync feature
- **Timestamp Tracking**: All entities include created_at and updated_at timestamps
