What it does
2anki runs a hosted MCP server at `https://2anki.net/mcp`: an assistant builds Anki decks on your account and returns a download link to the ready `.apkg` file. Sign-in uses OAuth 2.1, 2anki opens a sign-in and consent screen on first connect, and the connection then persists. Six tools: `convert_to_deck` turns text, Markdown, CSV, TSV or a URL into a deck, `create_deck` builds a deck from structured cards with subdecks, `photo_to_deck` makes cards from a photo of notes, a textbook page or a slide, `get_deck_preview` shows cards before download, `list_my_decks` lists account decks and `deck_capabilities` shows available note types and card options.
Who it is for. Students, teachers and anyone studying with flashcards who wants Anki decks from notes and articles inside Claude or ChatGPT.
Good fit when
- Lecture notes in Markdown become a deck without typing cards by hand.
- A photo of a textbook page goes to `photo_to_deck` and comes back as cards.
- An article from a link is split into questions and answers and previewed before download.
- A large deck is built from structured cards with subdecks by topic.
Not a fit when
- Work with Anki installed on the computer is needed: the server builds files in a 2anki account.
- There is no 2anki account: the connector is available to any signed-in account, but sign-in is mandatory.
- The material must not go to a third-party cloud: text and photos go to the 2anki server.
Example request
Make an Anki deck from these biology notes, show a preview of the first cards and give me the file link.MCP

Limitations
Conversions through MCP count against the same plan limits as the web app: free accounts have a monthly card limit and a photo quota, paid plans have no monthly card limit and photos draw on AI credits. Size is capped: 5 MB of text per request, 500 cards per deck and 10 MB per photo. Access uses OAuth 2.1 and is revoked by removing the connector in the assistant settings. The link in the response leads to a ready `.apkg` that you import into Anki by hand.
How to disable. Remove the 2anki connector in the assistant settings: OAuth access is revoked. Decks already created stay in the 2anki account.
