What this server is able to do. For an MCP server this is often the job itself — a terminal server runs commands because that is what it is for. Listed so you know what you are plugging in, not as an accusation.

    const child = spawn(cmd, args, { stdio: "ignore", detached: true });

This one needs environment variables set before it will start: ANILIST_CLIENT_ID (Optional. From an app registered at anilist.co/settings/developer — needed to use login_anilist.), ANILIST_CLIENT_SECRET (Optional. Paired with the Client ID above — needed to use login_anilist.), ANILIST_ACCESS_TOKEN (Optional. A pre-obtained AniList access token, as an alternative to running login_anilist.), ANILIST_OAUTH_PORT (Optional. Localhost port for the login_anilist callback (default 8082).), ANILIST_TOKEN_STORE (Optional. Overrides where the AniList access token is persisted (defaults under the OS config dir).). The author declared them in the registry entry; get the values from the project itself.
