Anytype MCP Server

The Anytype MCP Server is a Model Context Protocol (MCP) server implementation, 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.

Quick Start

1. Get Your API Key

Open Anytype
Go to Settings
Navigate to API Keys
Create a new API key

Alternative: Get API key via CLI

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

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

2. Configure Your MCP Client

Add the following configuration to your MCP client settings:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "anytype": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": ["-y", "@anyproto/anytype-mcp"],
      "env": {
        "OPENAPI_MCP_HEADERS": "{\"Authorization\":\"Bearer <YOUR_API_KEY>\", \"Anytype-Version\":\"2025-05-20\"}"
      }
    }
  }
}

Alternative: Global Installation

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\":\"2025-05-20\"}"
      }
    }
  }
}

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"
