Common questions

Is Anime MCP Server safe?

It passed 1 of 1 applicable basic checks. We have not read the code. Before adding a key or token, see what access the server asks for and use a key with only the permissions you need.

What keys or codes does it need?

The registry does not list a required key, though some servers ask you to sign in on first use.

Does it run on my computer or in the cloud?

It runs on your computer. Your AI app starts it when needed, and data does not pass through the maker’s servers (unless it calls an online service itself).

Is it still maintained?

The GitHub repo last changed –, and the latest version (0.4.0) reached the registry 9 days ago.

Which apps can use it?

Apps that support MCP, such as Claude Desktop, Claude Code, Cursor and VS Code. You also need Node.js on your computer.

What can I use instead?

@cyanheads/anime-mcp-server Search anime/manga, get full detail, franchise relations, seasonal schedule, characters, rankings, and studio filmography via MCP. STDIO or Streamable HTTP. 8 Tools • 2 Resources

Overview

Anime and manga data from AniList, Jikan (MyAnimeList), and Kitsu. Search titles, pull full detail with side-by-side AniList and MAL scores, walk a franchise's relation graph, check the airing schedule, and look up characters, voice actors, and studio filmographies.

Tools

Tool	Description
`anime_search_media`	Search anime or manga by title, genre, tag, season, year, format, or status. Returns ranked results with IDs, titles, scores, format, and episode/chapter counts. AniList primary; Jikan (MAL) fallback when AniList has no match for a title-only query.
`anime_get_media`	Full detail for one anime or manga by AniList ID — synopsis, format, episode/chapter count, status, season, studios, source material, genres and tags (spoiler-flagged), AniList and MAL scores side by side, streaming links, cover/banner, and direct relations.
`anime_get_relations`	Walks the related-works graph within a hop limit. Groups main and supplementary entries by relation priority, then year; not a strict chronology.
`anime_get_schedule`	Airing schedule for a season or upcoming episode window. Season mode lists all anime airing in a given season/year. Upcoming mode returns the next episode for each airing title within a date window, with UTC timestamp and countdown.
`anime_find_characters`	Characters and voice actors for a title, or look up a character/VA by name. Returns characters with role (main/supporting/background), voice actors by language, and cross-links to other media.
`anime_get_recommendations`	Page AniList recommendations with matching MAL votes, or Jikan candidates resolved through AniList. Reports the selected source and Jikan availability; optionally echoes what you liked.
`anime_get_rankings`	Top, trending, or seasonal rankings. Filterable by genre, tag, and format. Top returns all-time by score; trending uses AniList's trending order; seasonal returns the current or specified season sorted by popularity.
`anime_get_studio`	A studio's full filmography by name or AniList studio ID — all titles the studio produced, sortable by year or score, with format, status, and episode count.

Resources

Resource	Description
`anime://media/{id}`	Compact media record by AniList ID — title, synopsis, scores, genres, streaming count, and cover image. Stable URI for injectable context.
`skill://anime-guide/SKILL.md`	Caller guide for franchise research, cast-to-career lookups, studio filmographies, and recommendation coverage. Also included in plugin, npm, Docker, and MCPB installs.

Media resource data is also reachable via tools. Use anime_search_media to discover AniList IDs before fetching its resource URI.

Capability reference

`anime_search_media` tool

Search anime or manga by title, genre, tag, season/year, format, status, or up to 5 sort values; at least one criterion is required. page/per_page pages results (max 50), and include_adult: true opts into adult titles
Results carry AniList IDs, titles, scores, and episode/chapter counts. AniList is primary; title-only searches with no match can fall back to Jikan at per_page 25 or less. Follow has_next_page; total_results is exact only on the final page
AniList serves only the first 5,000 search, season, and ranking entries; deeper pages fail with page_depth_exceeded, so narrow the criteria instead

`anime_get_media` tool

Fetch full detail by AniList id, with adult content requiring include_adult: true; discover IDs through anime_search_media
Returns synopsis, genres, spoiler-flagged tags, studios, direct relations, images, streaming links, and separate AniList/MAL scores. data_sources identifies successful supplements; not_found means the ID did not resolve
full_text: true returns the complete result as fenced JSON; by default the synopsis is a 500-character preview and tags and relations are shortened, with counts of what was omitted

`anime_get_relations` tool

Walk a franchise from an AniList id up to max_depth hops (default 2, max 4)
Returns main and supplementary entries with season year and episode/chapter counts, ordered by relation priority then year. not_found means the root ID did not resolve
depth, parent_id, relation_to_parent, and path show the shortest route to each entry. relation_to_root is set only for entries linked directly to the root, and is null otherwise. Entries at the hop limit are returned without their own relations; depth_reached is the deepest hop returned

`anime_get_schedule` tool

season mode requires season and season_year; upcoming uses days_ahead (default 7, max 30). Page with page/per_page (max 50); adult titles require include_adult: true
Returns UTC ISO 8601 airing times and time_until_airing_seconds. Follow has_next_page; total_results is exact only on the final season page. invalid_season and conflicting_inputs identify invalid mode inputs

`anime_find_characters` tool

Supply exactly one of media id, character_name, or voice_actor_name. language filters only media cast lookups; per_page is capped at 25
Returns cast, voice actors, or media appearances according to mode. truncated: true carries next-page guidance for capped cast lists; media_not_found/not_found distinguish an unknown media ID from an unmatched name
voice_actor_data_available: false means the provider had no voice actor data, as opposed to an empty list. full_text: true returns every role on the page and the full biography as fenced JSON; by default biographies are 500-character previews and staff roles stop at 20, with counts of what was omitted

`anime_get_recommendations` tool

Fetch recommendations for an AniList id with source: "anilist" (default) or source: "jikan"; optional liked_aspects is echoed unchanged. AniList pages its recommendations and adds matching MAL votes. Jikan deduplicates its supplied list by maximum votes, orders votes descending/MAL ID ascending, and locally pages candidates with page/per_page (max 25) before resolving that slice through AniList. Adult and unresolved candidates are omitted; has_next_page still follows candidate pages. Jikan does not guarantee a global ranking or a stable snapshot across calls
Both surfaces report source and jikan_status (available, unavailable, or not_applicable when the source lacks a MAL ID), plus separate anilist_rating, jikan_votes, and item sources. Jikan mode uses null anilist_rating and sources: ["jikan"]. Optional annotation failures retain AniList results; selected Jikan/resolution failures return retry-or-switch guidance. truncated: true supplies continuation with the same source; not_found means the source ID did not resolve, while valid empty pages succeed

`anime_get_rankings` tool

Rank ANIME or MANGA in top/trending; seasonal and season/year filters apply only to ANIME (anime_only_season otherwise). Genre/tag/format filters and page/per_page (max 50) remain available. Adult titles require include_adult: true
Entries carry 1-based rank and season_label. Follow has_next_page; total_results is exact only on the final page. Seasonal mode takes season/season_year together or neither for the current season (invalid_season otherwise)

`anime_get_studio` tool

Identify a studio with exactly one of name or id; sort by popularity, score, or release date and page with page/per_page (max 25)
Returns one row per distinct title within the page, with is_main_studio identifying main credits. Follow has_next_page; total_titles is exact only when the whole filmography fits on page 1. not_found means the studio did not resolve

`anime://media/{id}` resource

Read a compact application/json media record using an AniList id from anime_search_media or anime_get_media
The ID must be a whole number from 1 to 2147483647; anything else fails with invalid_id before any upstream call
Returns title variants, synopsis, scores, genres, streaming count, and cover image; use anime_get_media for tags, studios, streaming links, and relations

Features

Built on @cyanheads/mcp-ts-core: stdio and Streamable HTTP transports, pluggable auth (none / jwt / oauth), swappable storage (in-memory, filesystem, Supabase, Cloudflare KV/R2/D1), structured logging with optional OpenTelemetry tracing.

Anime/manga-specific:

Three-source architecture: AniList GraphQL (primary), Jikan v4 REST (MAL scores + recommendations), Kitsu JSON:API (streaming links with sub/dub language detail)
ID reconciliation via AniList's idMal bridge — no cross-source ID guessing
Franchise relation graph traversal with heuristic ordering by relation-type priority, then season year
Rate-limit-aware service layer: AniList 30 req/30s with automatic backoff; Jikan 350ms floor between calls
Keyless by design — all three sources are public and require no API credentials

Agent-friendly output:

Dual scores surfaced separately — AniList meanScore (0–100) and MAL score (0–10) with population size (scored_by) so agents can reason about weight; never blended into a composite
Spoiler flags — the tag summary hides spoiler/adult tags; structured output and full_text: true carry all tags with their flags
Supplement provenance — anime_get_media.data_sources reports whether AniList, MAL/Jikan, and Kitsu data was retriev
