Transform any OpenAPI specification into callable tools. Easily test an API, handle authentication, and generate schemas
Converts OpenAPI 3.0/3.1 specifications into callable tools that your AI assistant can use to interact with REST APIs. Automatically handles authentication and schema generation.
Anytype is a community-built MCP server published by anyproto that provides AI assistants with tools and capabilities via the Model Context Protocol. Transform any OpenAPI specification into callable tools. Easily test an API, handle authentication, and generate schemas It is categorized under productivity.
You can install Anytype in your AI client of choice. Use the install panel on this page to get one-click setup for Cursor, Claude Desktop, VS Code, and other MCP-compatible clients. This server runs locally on your machine via the stdio transport.

Add new capabilities to Claude beyond text generation
Example
Access external data sources, execute code, interact with tools and services
Transform Claude from chatbot to action-taking agent
Provide Claude with access to relevant context and data
Example
Load project documentation, access knowledge bases, query databases
Get more accurate, context-aware responses
Automate multi-step workflows combining AI and external tools
Example
Research → Summarize → Create document → Send notification
Complete complex tasks end-to-end without manual steps
Share your MCP server with the developer community
Anytype reduced integration guesswork — categories and install configs on the listing matched the upstream repo.
Strong directory entry: Anytype surfaces stars and publisher context so we could sanity-check maintenance before adopting.
Useful MCP listing: Anytype is the kind of server we cite when onboarding engineers to host + tool permissions.
We evaluated Anytype against two servers with overlapping tools; this profile had the clearer scope statement.
According to our notes, Anytype benefits from clear Model Context Protocol framing — fewer ambiguous “AI plugin” claims.
Anytype has been reliable for tool-calling workflows; the MCP profile page is a good permalink for internal docs.
I recommend Anytype for teams standardizing on MCP; the explainx.ai page compares cleanly with sibling servers.
We evaluated Anytype against two servers with overlapping tools; this profile had the clearer scope statement.

Anytype is among the better-indexed MCP projects we tried; the explainx.ai summary tracks the official description.

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.
Create new buttonYou can also get your API key using the command line:
npx -y @anyproto/anytype-mcp get-key
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.
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:
npm install -g @anyproto/anytype-mcp
{
"mcpServers": {
"anytype": {
"command": "anytype-mcp",
"env": {
"OPENAPI_MCP_HEADERS": "{"Authorization":"Bearer <YOUR_API_KEY>", "Anytype-Version":"2025-11-08"}"
}
}
}
}
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
Here are some examples of how you can interact with your Anytype:
git clone https://github.com/anyproto/anytype-mcp.git
cd anytype-mcp
npm install -D
npm run build
npm link

Steps

✓ Do
✗ Don't
💡 Pro Tips
Architecture
Model Context Protocol standardizes how AI hosts (Claude, Cursor) communicate with external tools and data sources through server implementations.
Protocols
Compatibility
✓ Use when
Use when you need Claude to access external data, execute actions, or integrate with tools. Best for extending AI capabilities beyond conversation.
✗ Avoid when
Avoid when native integrations exist (use official APIs directly), for real-time critical systems, or when security/compliance requires zero external dependencies.
