Summary
Cards land in Anki as you make them, not after.
It covers the two card types most decks are made of, basic and cloze, and can go back and edit a note by ID rather than only adding. Everything runs through AnkiConnect against your local Anki, which is why the app has to be open — and also why the cards appear in the deck you are already looking at.
What it is
A Node server that talks to a running Anki through the AnkiConnect add-on: creating decks, basic cards and cloze deletions, and editing notes that are already there.
What you get
- New decks created by name
- Basic front/back cards written into a named deck, with optional tags
- Cloze deletion cards using {{c1::text}} syntax, with optional extra text on the back
- Existing basic cards updated by note ID — front, back or tags
- Existing cloze cards updated the same way
Requirements
Anki installed and running with the AnkiConnect add-on enabled — everything goes through it, so nothing works while Anki is closed. Node.js 16 or higher; clone, `npm install`, `npm run build`, then point the client at the built `build/index.js` by absolute path.
