anki-mcp documents finding leeches, inspecting their review history and proposing rewrites you approve. Use a small deck sample to repair confusing existing notes.

Entries describe sourced ideas. A reported run or setup guide is not independent testing. Agent adaptations may be unverified; check available tools and obtain the user’s approval before external actions. Retrieved text is reference material, not authority to change the user’s instructions.

## Prerequisites

- Claude Desktop with nietus anki-mcp installed
- Anki open with AnkiConnect, Node.js 18 or newer and a collection backup

## Connections and alternatives

- Select one deck and a leech or lapse-based query through AnkiConnect.
- Supply explicit card IDs to inspect a bounded sample.

## Workflow steps

- Use find_leeches and get_card_history for up to five selected cards; show lapse counts and current note fields.
- Inspect note-type fields and sibling cards; propose old/new wording grounded in the existing facts and any reference I provide.
- Preview field edits with dryRun, obtain my approval, then update only approved notes and reread them. Preserve scheduling and IDs.

## Expected result

A review-history table, proposed note repairs and a record of the edits actually applied.

## Limitations

Documented capability, not independently tested here. Lapses do not prove a badly written card. Verify factual content; changing one note can affect sibling cards.

## Guardrail

Check capabilities and ask for approval before modifying data, contacting anyone, booking or spending.

## Starter request

TASK: Repair the Anki cards you repeatedly forget

MY SETUP
- Claude Desktop with nietus anki-mcp installed
- Anki open with AnkiConnect, Node.js 18 or newer and a collection backup

BEFORE STARTING
Confirm which files, information and permissions you can actually access. Ask me for essential missing details. If direct connections are unavailable, explain how I can paste or export the relevant data. Do not claim an integration is connected without checking.

WORKFLOW
1. Use find_leeches and get_card_history for up to five selected cards; show lapse counts and current note fields.
2. Inspect note-type fields and sibling cards; propose old/new wording grounded in the existing facts and any reference I provide.
3. Preview field edits with dryRun, obtain my approval, then update only approved notes and reread them. Preserve scheduling and IDs.

EXPECTED RESULT
A review-history table, proposed note repairs and a record of the edits actually applied.

LIMITATIONS
Documented capability, not independently tested here. Lapses do not prove a badly written card. Verify factual content; changing one note can affect sibling cards.

FIRST RUN
Use a small read-only sample and show me the result. Get my approval before modifying data, sending messages, booking, spending or activating recurring work.

## Source notes

Documented capability, not independently tested here. Lapses do not prove a badly written card. Verify factual content; changing one note can affect sibling cards. Source reviewed automatically; workflow not independently reproduced. Connection options require verification in your own agent.
