Anna's Archive MCP Server

What the code does

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 listing = spawnSync(tar, listingArgs, { encoding: "utf8" });

  const archivePath = path.join(work, assetName);

Found in continuous integration, deployment or infrastructure files, or in a neighbouring package of the same monorepo. None of this is installed when you add the server: it describes how the project is built and released. We list it because a leaked key in a build pipeline is still a real problem, but it is not something this server does on your machine.

This one needs environment variables set before it will start: ANNAS_SECRET_KEY (The secret key you log in to Anna's Archive with. The server signs in with it and uses it for downloads.), ANNAS_DOWNLOAD_PATH (Absolute folder for downloaded files. Needed for downloads.), ANNAS_ACCOUNT_COOKIE (Optional aa_account_id2 cookie from a signed-in browser, for when signing in with the secret key fails.). The author declared them in the registry entry; get the values from the project itself.
