An MCP server that lets Claude interact with Anki flashcard software through the AnkiConnect add-on. Claude can list and create decks, add, edit, search, and delete notes, manage tags and note types, and trigger AnkiWeb sync. Useful for generating and maintaining spaced-repetition flashcards from your own material.

Automate creation of flashcard decks from technical documentation automatically
Generate spaced-repetition review schedules for team knowledge assessments
Query existing Anki cards to track engineering concepts learned across projects
