README

ani-mcp

A smart MCP server for AniList that understands your anime and manga taste - not just raw API calls.

What makes this different

Most AniList integrations mirror the API 1:1. ani-mcp adds an intelligence layer on top:

  • Taste profiling - builds a model of your preferences from your completed list
  • Personalized picks - "what should I watch next?" based on your taste and mood
  • Compatibility - compare taste between two users
  • Year in review - your watching/reading stats wrapped up

Plus the essentials: search, details, trending, seasonal browsing, list management, and community recommendations.

Install

Add to your MCP client config (e.g. mcp.json, claude_desktop_config.json, Cursor settings, etc.):

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "anilist": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": ["-y", "ani-mcp"],
      "env": {
        "ANILIST_USERNAME": "your_username"
      }
    }
  }
}

Works with any MCP-compatible client.
