Anime News Network has been covering anime and manga since 1998. It keeps an encyclopedia of the works themselves, with the cast and staff credited on each, the episodes, the releases, the opening and ending themes and the readers' ratings, and it runs a news wire alongside it, with separate editions for the United States, the United Kingdom and Australia.

This server connects a chat client to both. You can search the encyclopedia for an anime or a manga, read one entry with its credits and its details, list what was recently added or browse the encyclopedia alphabetically, and read the news wire. It needs no API key and no account.

claude mcp add animenewsnetwork -- npx -y mcp-animenewsnetwork

Claude Desktop, Cursor, and any client using the standard config format

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

Node 24 or later is required, and no environment variable has to be set.

With Docker

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "animenewsnetwork": {
      "command": "docker",
      "args": ["run", "-i", "--rm", "ghcr.io/smeet666/mcp-animenewsnetwork:3.0.0"]
    }
  }
}

-i keeps stdin open, which is where the protocol travels, and -t is left out because a TTY rewrites the stream. The container needs outbound HTTPS to cdn.animenewsnetwork.com and www.animenewsnetwork.com, and nothing else: no volume, no port, no credential.
