Connects Anki to dictionary, mining and script tools through an AnkiConnect-compatible API, adding per-app permissions, selective queries, live change events and undoable writes.
Two-way Google Sheets sync for vocabulary decks, writing review stats back to the sheet and gating reverse cards until forward cards mature.
Runs a local MCP server inside Anki so AI assistants can create cards, quiz you, search and manage decks live, with an optional public tunnel for remote access.
Enables fully offline, hands-free deck review using spoken commands to reveal answers, grade cards, and undo actions, with configurable vocabulary, timing, and noise filtering.
Automatically fills empty Picture fields in a selected deck with high-quality images from Pexels, Unsplash, or Google Images via SerpAPI, using chosen note fields as search terms.
Automatically suspends and unsuspends cards depending on whether they carry a designated #suspend tag, including cards created or updated via AnkiConnect.
Description
Lets a sandboxed tool (for example an AI coding assistant running in a Docker container) add new notes to Anki, and nothing destructive.
How it works
- Listens on 127.0.0.1:8764 and forwards requests to AnkiConnect, adding AnkiConnect's API key.
- On first run it gives AnkiConnect a random API key (if it has none), so nothing can get around the gate by using port 8765. Restart Anki once after that.
- Allowed: adding notes and lookups (version, deckNames, modelNames, modelFieldNames, canAddNotes, addNote, addNotes, findCards, cardsInfo, areSuspended).
- Asks you first (Yes/No dialog in Anki): suspend, unsuspend, changeDeck.
- Refused: everything else (delete, edit fields, tags, multi, ...).
- {"action": "gateVersion"} returns the gate's version, so clients can check that it is installed.
- Adds and dialog decisions are logged to user_files/gate.log, with card IDs.
Requires AnkiConnect (2055492159). Point your tool at http://127.0.0.1:8764 instead of 8765. From a Docker container, use http://host.docker.internal:8764.
