README

AniList MCP Server

An MCP server for AniList. It works with any MCP-compatible client or agent (Claude Desktop/Code, Cursor, VS Code, Cline, Continue, and others). It speaks the standard MCP stdio protocol.

What it does

Talks directly to AniList's public GraphQL API (https://graphql.anilist.co):

Reads (no credentials needed). Search and browse anime/manga, characters, staff, studios; genres/tags; recommendations; forum threads; activity feeds; public/unlisted user profiles and lists.
Your own AniList account (requires a one-time login). Manage your own anime/manga list (add/update/remove entries), favourites, follows, your notifications, and post/delete your own activity and threads.

What you need (and what it gets you)

Nothing is required to get started, so you can skip straight to Install. Everything below is optional:

You set...	You get...
(nothing)	Search, details, genres/tags, recommendations, threads, activity, public profiles/lists. Works immediately.
An AniList Client ID + Client Secret (2 minutes, free →), plus running `login_anilist` once	Everything above, plus your own AniList account: manage your list, favourites, follows, activity, and threads.

Without a login, the personal/mutation tools reply with a clear message telling you how to get one; everything else keeps working regardless.

Example queries

Once it's connected, just ask your agent in natural language.

No credentials needed:

"Search for the anime Frieren and show its score, genres and synopsis."
"What recommendations does AniList have for fans of Steins;Gate?"
"Show me today's birthday characters."
"What genres and tags does AniList use for anime?"
"Show the public profile and stats for user <username>."
"What's in <username>'s AniList anime list marked as watching?"

With your AniList account (after a one-time login_anilist; see Connect your AniList account):

"Add Frieren to my AniList plan-to-watch list."
"Set Cowboy Bebop to completed on my AniList with a score of 9."
"Follow user <username> for me."
"Post a text update to my AniList activity feed."
"What are my unread AniList notifications?"
