Anytype MCP Server

The Anytype MCP Server is a Model Context Protocol (MCP) server enabling AI assistants to seamlessly interact with Anytype's API through natural language.

It bridges the gap between AI and Anytype's powerful features by converting Anytype's OpenAPI specification into MCP tools, allowing you to manage your knowledge base through conversation.

Features

Spaces & Members
Objects & Lists
Properties & Tags
Types & Templates

Quick Start

1. Get Your API Key

Open Anytype
Go to App Settings
Navigate to API Keys section
Click on Create new button

You can also get your API key using the command line:

npx -y @anyproto/anytype-mcp get-key

2. Configure Your MCP Client

Claude Desktop, Cursor, Windsurf, Raycast, etc.

Add the following configuration to your MCP client settings after replacing <YOUR_API_KEY> with your actual API key:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "anytype": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": ["-y", "@anyproto/anytype-mcp"],
      "env": {
        "OPENAPI_MCP_HEADERS": "{\"Authorization\":\"Bearer <YOUR_API_KEY>\", \"Anytype-Version\":\"2025-11-08\"}"
      }
    }
  }
}

Tip: After creating an API key in Anytype, you can copy that ready-to-use configuration snippet with your API key already filled in from the API Keys section.

Claude Code (CLI)

Run this command to add the Anytype MCP server after replacing <YOUR_API_KEY> with your actual API key:

claude mcp add anytype -e OPENAPI_MCP_HEADERS='{"Authorization":"Bearer <YOUR_API_KEY>", "Anytype-Version":"2025-11-08"}' -s user -- npx -y @anyproto/anytype-mcp

If you prefer to install the package globally:

Install the package:

npm install -g @anyproto/anytype-mcp

Update your MCP client configuration to use the global installation:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "anytype": {
      "command": "anytype-mcp",
      "env": {
        "OPENAPI_MCP_HEADERS": "{\"Authorization\":\"Bearer <YOUR_API_KEY>\", \"Anytype-Version\":\"2025-11-08\"}"
      }
    }
  }
}

Custom API Base URL

By default, the server connects to http://127.0.0.1:31009. For anytype-cli (port 31012) or other custom base URLs, set ANYTYPE_API_BASE_URL:

MCP Client (Claude Desktop, Cursor, etc.):

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "anytype": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": ["-y", "@anyproto/anytype-mcp"],
      "env": {
        "ANYTYPE_API_BASE_URL": "http://localhost:31012",
        "OPENAPI_MCP_HEADERS": "{\"Authorization\":\"Bearer <YOUR_API_KEY>\", \"Anytype-Version\":\"2025-11-08\"}"
      }
    }
  }
}

Claude Code (CLI):

claude mcp add anytype \
  -e ANYTYPE_API_BASE_URL='http://localhost:31012' \
  -e OPENAPI_MCP_HEADERS='{"Authorization":"Bearer <YOUR_API_KEY>", "Anytype-Version":"2025-11-08"}' \
  -s user -- npx -y @anyproto/anytype-mcp

Example Interactions

Here are some examples of how you can interact with your Anytype:

"Create a new space called 'Project Ideas' with description 'A space for storing project ideas'"
"Add a new object of type 'Task' with title 'Research AI trends' to the 'Project Ideas' space"
"Create a second one with title 'Dive deep into LLMs' with due date in 3 days and assign it to me"
"Now create a collection with the title "Tasks for this week" and add the two tasks to that list. Set due date of the first one to 10 days from now"
