Install
Add this to your client's MCP configuration (Claude Desktop: claude_desktop_config.json; Cursor: .cursor/mcp.json; VS Code and others use the same "mcpServers" shape).

flashdeck
flashdeck lets an agent study and manage Anki flashcards through a local Anki instance running AnkiConnect. It covers the review loop (due cards, presenting a card, rating it), decks, notes, tags, note types, and collection statistics — a labelled core subset of 20 tools from the 53 documented in the original Anki MCP spec.
Anki must be running with the AnkiConnect add-on installed. By
default flashdeck talks to http://127.0.0.1:8765; set
ANKICONNECT_URL to point elsewhere.
Install
npx @reneturcios/flashdeck check
Or run the container image:
docker run -i ghcr.io/cloudcorprecords/flashdeck
The container defaults to the MCP server. Pass CLI arguments to use it as a CLI instead. Note the container still needs network access to the host's AnkiConnect endpoint.
CLI
flashdeck check # probe AnkiConnect (deck list on success)
flashdeck decks # list decks
flashdeck due [deck] # due cards, optionally for one deck
flashdeck stats [deck] # deck stats, or collection stats with no deck
flashdeck tags # all tags
flashdeck models # all note types
flashdeck sync # sync with AnkiWeb
flashdeck --version
Most commands accept --json. Exit codes: 0 success, 1 error
(the message names the AnkiConnect or validation problem), 2
usage error.
MCP server
npx -y @reneturcios/flashdeck mcp
MCP client configuration:
{
"mcpServers": {
"flashdeck": {
"command": "npx",
"args": ["-y", "@reneturcios/flashdeck", "mcp"]
}
}
}

addNotes | deck_name, model_name, notes | Batch-create up to 100 notes. |
findNotes | query | Search notes with Anki query syntax. |
notesInfo | notes | Details for notes. |

Deck statistics are computed locally from per-state card searches; no statistics endpoint is assumed. When Anki is not running, tools return an error naming the failed AnkiConnect request rather than an empty result.
Development
npm install
npm run build # tsc -> dist/
npm test # node test runner over test/*.test.ts, fake fetch only, no live Anki
npm run dev # run the CLI from source via tsx
