Turn Claude conversations into Anki flashcards

What the MCP connector is

2anki runs a hosted MCP connector at https://2anki.net/mcp. Add it once in Claude — Settings → Connectors — or in ChatGPT with developer mode turned on. From then on you ask the assistant for flashcards the same way you ask it anything else, and it builds the deck through 2anki and returns a download link. Nothing runs on your machine; the connector talks to 2anki directly.

Add the connector and ask for cards

In Claude, open Settings → Connectors, add a custom connector, and paste https://2anki.net/mcp. In ChatGPT, turn on developer mode and add the same URL. Sign in when prompted so the deck lands in your account. Then type a normal request — "make 20 cards on the Krebs cycle" or "turn these notes into cloze cards" — and download the .apkg the assistant links back. The full walkthrough, with screenshots, is in the docs guide.

What you can ask for

Text and notes become a deck — paste a chapter, a list of terms, or a summary and get question-and-answer cards. A photo becomes cards — attach an image of your notes and the assistant reads the page. You can ask for specific note types, including cloze deletions, and organise a large topic into subdecks. Preview the cards in the chat before you download the .apkg, so nothing lands in Anki that you did not check.

Connector access

The hosted connector is open to every signed-in account — add it and approve the consent screen once, no request needed. It builds decks through the same 2anki account, so anything you make in the connector shows up alongside your uploads.

What it costs

The free plan converts 100 cards a month, whether you build them through the connector or upload files directly. Unlimited removes the cap. It is the same account and the same decks — the connector is another way in, not a separate product or a separate bill.
