Today is the operative word: we check Ani MCP every 15 minutes and re-read its code on every release. Watch it and you find out the day that stops being true.

This server runs on your own machine — install it with the package manager and the client starts it for you. Package name taken from the official registry entry.

Claude Code Claude Desktop Codex Cursor VS Code

run in your terminal

claude mcp add ani-mcp -- npx -y ani-mcp

~/Library/Application Support/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "ani-mcp": {
      "args": [
        "-y",
        "ani-mcp"
      ],
      "command": "npx"
    }
  }
}

[mcp_servers.ani-mcp]
command = "npx"
args = ["-y", "ani-mcp"]

.cursor/mcp.json

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "ani-mcp": {
      "args": [
        "-y",
        "ani-mcp"
      ],

  "mcpServers": {

        "-y",
        "ani-mcp"
      ],
      "command": "npx"
    }
  }
}

This one needs environment variables set before it will start: ANILIST_USERNAME (Default AniList username for list and stats tools), ANILIST_TOKEN (AniList OAuth token for authenticated queries). The author declared them in the registry entry; get the values from the project itself.

Ani MCP — questions

Answers built from our own checks of this server.

Why is there no uptime for Ani MCP?

Ani MCP runs on your own machine over stdio — there is no network address to reach, so uptime cannot be measured for it by anyone. What can be measured is adoption: the npm package ani-mcp was installed 100 times last week.

How do I connect Ani MCP?

Copy the ready config from this page — we generate it for Claude Code, Claude Desktop, Codex, Cursor and VS Code, each with the file path that client actually reads. It runs locally, so the command pulls ani-mcp straight from npm; nothing to host, nothing to sign up for.

How many people use Ani MCP?

The npm package ani-mcp was installed 100 times in the last week. Week over week that is -18%. We show installs rather than GitHub stars on purpose: a star is a bookmark, an install is someone actually running it.

Is Ani MCP open source?

Yes — it is published under the MIT licence, written in TypeScript and 3 stars on GitHub. The source link is on this page, so you can read exactly what it does with your data before you connect it.
