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.
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
.apkgretrieval - Media path sandbox prevents out-of-scope file access and orphaned assets
