Use 2anki inside Claude or ChatGPT

Connect the 2anki MCP server and build Anki decks straight from a conversation.

2anki runs as an MCP connector, so an AI assistant can build your Anki decks for you. Paste lecture notes into a conversation, ask for flashcards, and get a download link for a ready .apkg — without leaving the chat.

The connector is open to every signed-in account. Sign in at 2anki.net, add the connector, and approve the consent screen once. Free accounts keep their monthly card limit; paid plans have no monthly card limit, and photos draw on your AI credits.

Connect to Claude

1. Open connector settings. In Claude (web or desktop), go to Settings → Connectors and choose Add custom connector.

2. Add the 2anki server. Enter https://2anki.net/mcp as the URL and confirm.

3. Sign in. Claude opens a 2anki sign-in and consent screen. Approve it once; the connection persists across conversations.

4. Use it. In any conversation, ask Claude to make flashcards — "turn these notes into an Anki deck". Claude calls 2anki and replies with a download link for the .apkg.

Connect to ChatGPT

1. Enable developer mode. In ChatGPT, go to Settings → Apps & Connectors → Advanced settings and turn on Developer mode (requires a paid ChatGPT plan).

2. Create the connector. Under Apps & Connectors, choose Create, enter https://2anki.net/mcp as the MCP server URL, and pick OAuth as the authentication method.

3. Sign in. ChatGPT opens the 2anki sign-in and consent screen. Approve it once.

4. Use it. Start a message, add the 2anki connector from the composer's tools menu, and ask for a deck.

What the assistant can do

• Turn pasted text, notes, or a document summary into a finished deck with a download link
• Convert a photo of handwritten notes, a textbook page, or a slide into cards
• Choose note types (Basic, reversed, cloze) and card options, including subdecks
• Preview a deck's cards before you download
• List the decks you've already created

Free accounts keep their normal monthly card limit; paid plans have no monthly card limit, and photos draw on your AI credits — the same plans and limits as the web app.

If something fails

• If the sign-in loops or the assistant reports it can't authenticate, make sure you're signed in at 2anki.net, then add the connector again.
• If the connection stops working, remove the connector and add it again to re-run the sign-in.
• Anything else: email support@2anki.net.
