What the publisher says

From the Ani repository's README, as published. We do not edit it. Read it on GitHub

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, mood, and seasonal lineup
  • Compatibility - compare taste between two users
  • Sequel alerts - find sequels airing this season for shows you've finished
  • Watch order - franchise chain traversal for long-running series
  • Session planning - "I have 90 minutes, what should I watch?" from your current list
  • Year in review - your watching/reading stats wrapped up

Plus the essentials: search, details, trending, seasonal browsing, list management, social features, and community recommendations. All search and browse tools support pagination for browsing beyond the first page of results.

Try it in 30 seconds
