genanki-mcp

Automated Anki deck generation service built with genanki and the Model Context Protocol (MCP).
Focuses on dependable deck creation, strict media sandboxing, and keeping the workflow lean—nothing more.

中文文档

Highlights

  • Streamable MCP HTTP tool that plugs into any MCP-compliant client
  • Agents can craft rich CSS templates and embed media assets safely
  • Temporary download links (default expiry 600 seconds) for .apkg retrieval
  • Media path sandbox prevents out-of-scope file access and orphaned assets
