Anytype (self-hosted HTTP) MCP server

ohneben Anytype MCP

Talk to your Anytype knowledge base in plain language from AI assistants like Claude, Cursor, and any other MCP client.

This is a self-hosted fork of the official anyproto/anytype-mcp that adds a Docker container and a Streamable-HTTP transport, so the server can run quietly in the background and be reached by any MCP client over HTTP. (The original speaks stdio only.)

Why this one?

The official Anytype MCP server is great, but it runs as a stdio subprocess that each client has to launch on demand. This project keeps 100% of its capabilities and adds a production-style deployment: one always-on server, in Docker, that any number of MCP clients can reach over HTTP.

\*Community servers such as Qwinty/anytype-mcp (JS), wethegreenpeople/anytype-mcp (Python) and anytype-mcp-plus — most are stdio-only and launched via npx. "➖" = not documented / varies. Snapshot from July 2026; check each project for its latest.

In short: if you just want to try Anytype from your AI client, the official server is perfect. If you want it running in the background, always ready, and shared across every MCP client on your machine, use this one.

What you can do

Once it's connected, ask your assistant things like:

• "Search my Anytype for notes about the Q3 launch."
• "Create a task 'Write the report', due in 3 days."
• "Make a new space called 'Travel' and add a packing checklist."

Tools are generated automatically from your running Anytype app and grouped into 🟢 read-only, 🟡 write, and 🔴 delete.

The server is tuned to keep your assistant fast and frugal with tool calls:
