\n\n---\n\n## Tools\n\nEight tools covering anime and manga discovery, detail, and navigation:\n\n| Tool | Description |\n|:---|:---|\n| `anime_search_media` | Search anime or manga by title, genre, tag, season, year, format, or status. Returns ranked results with IDs, titles, scores, format, and episode/chapter counts. AniList primary; Jikan fallback on empty results. |\n| `anime_get_media` | Full detail for one anime or manga by AniList ID — synopsis, format, episode/chapter count, status, season, studios, source material, genres and tags (spoiler-flagged), AniList and MAL scores side by side, streaming links, cover/banner, and direct relations. |\n| `anime_get_relations` | Franchise untangler. Walks the related-works graph from a media ID beyond one hop — sequels, prequels, side stories, movies, OVAs, source and adaptation — and returns them in suggested watch/read order. |\n| `anime_get_schedule` | Airing schedule for a season or upcoming episode window. Season mode lists all anime airing in a given season/year. Upcoming mode returns the next episode for each airing title within a date window, with UTC timestamp and countdown. |\n| `anime_find_characters` | Characters and voice actors for a title, or look up a character/VA by name. Returns characters with role (main/supporting/background), voice actors by language, and cross-links to other media. |\n| `anime_get_recommendations` | Recommendations for a title, merged from AniList and Jikan (MAL), with scores and vote counts. Optionally accepts what the user liked about the source title to contextualize picks. |\n| `anime_get_rankings` | Top, trending, or seasonal rankings. Filterable by genre, tag, and format. Top returns all-time by score; trending returns current week; seasonal returns the current or specified season sorted by popularity. |\n| `anime_get_studio` | A studio's full filmography by name or AniList studio ID — all titles the studio produced, sortable by year or score, with format, status, and episode count. |\n\n### `anime_search_media`\n\nSearch for anime or manga across multiple dimensions.\n\n- Free-text title search with AniList primary; falls back to Jikan when AniList returns empty\n- Filter by genre, tag, season, year, format (`TV`, `MOVIE`, `OVA`, `MANGA`, `NOVEL`, etc.), and status (`RELEASING`, `FINISHED`, etc.)\n- Adult content gated behind explicit `include_adult: true` (default off)\n- Pagination via `page` and `per_page`\n\n---\n\n### `anime_get_media`\n\nFull detail for a single anime or manga — the flagship tool for a title's complete profile.\n\n- AniList full-detail query supplemented in parallel by Jikan (MAL score) and Kitsu (streaming links with sub/dub language flags)\n- AniList and MAL scores surfaced side by side — never blended\n- Spoiler-safe by default: tags carry a `spoiler` flag; relation descriptions omitted unless `reveal_spoilers: true`\n- All timestamps UTC; season labels included to avoid boundary ambiguity\n\n---\n\n### `anime_get_relations`\n\nBuild the watch/read order for an entire franchise.\n\n- Multi-hop BFS over AniList's relation graph, up to `max_depth` hops (default 2, max 4)\n- Relation types: SOURCE, PREQUEL, SEQUEL, SIDE_STORY, SPIN_OFF, ADAPTATION, OVA, SPECIAL, MOVIE\n- Topological sort: SOURCE → PREQUEL → main story chain → SEQUEL → SIDE_STORY → SPIN_OFF → supplementary entries\n- Each entry includes `seasonYear` and episode/chapter count for context\n\n---\n\n### `anime_find_characters`\n\nBidirectional character and voice actor lookup.\n\n- By media ID: characters for a title with voice actors by language\n- By character name: find the character and all media they appear in\n- By voice actor name: find the VA and all roles across media\n- Language filter via AniList `StaffLanguage` enum (JAPANESE, ENGLISH, KOREAN, etc.)\n\n---\n\n## Resources and prompts\n\n| Type | Name | Description |\n|:---|:---|:---|\n| Resource | `anime://media/{id}` | Full media record for an anime or manga by AniList ID — same data as `anime_get_media`. Stable URI for injectable context. |\n\nAll resource data is also reachable via tools. Use `anime_search_media` to discover AniList IDs before fetching the resource URI.\n\n---\n\n## Features\n\nBuilt on [`@cyanheads/mcp-ts-core`](https://www.npmjs.com/package/@cyanheads/mcp-ts-core):\n\n- Declarative tool and resource definitions — single file per primitive, framework handles registration and validation\n- Unified error handling — handlers throw, framework catches, classifies, and formats\n- Pluggable auth: `none`, `jwt`, `oauth`\n- Swappable storage backends: `in-memory`, `filesystem`, `Supabase`, `Cloudflare KV/R2/D1`\n- Structured logging with optional OpenTelemetry tracing\n- STDIO and Streamable HTTP transports\n\nAnime/manga-specific:\n\n- Three-source architecture: AniList GraphQL (primary), Jikan v4 REST (MAL scores + recommendations), Kitsu JSON:API (streaming links with sub/dub language detail)\n- ID reconciliation via AniList's `idMal` bridge — no cross-source ID guessing\n- Franchise relation graph traversal with topological watch-order sort\n- Rate-limit-aware service layer: AniList 30 req/30s with automatic backoff; Jikan 350ms floor between calls\n- Keyless by design — all three sources are public and require no API credentials\n- **Local-only by design:** free APIs are tightly rate-limited per IP; hosting would pool users onto one IP and risk throttling or bans. Each local user brings their own IP and modest usage.\n\nAgent-friendly output:\n\n- Dual scores surfaced separately — AniList `meanScore` (0–100) and MAL `score` (0–10) with population size (`scored_by`) so agents can reason about weight; never blended into a composite\n- Spoiler safety by default — AniList tags carry `isGeneralSpoiler`; relation descriptions omitted unless opted in\n- Supplement provenance — each response indicates which sources contributed (AniList, Jikan, Kitsu) and which failed gracefully, so agents know what data is present\n- UTC timestamps throughout; season labels echoed (`WINTER 2024`) to avoid the winter/spring/summer/fall boundary footgun\n\n---\n\n## Getting started\n\nNo API keys required — all three upstream sources (AniList, Jikan, Kitsu) are keyless public APIs.\n\nAdd the following to your MCP client configuration file:\n\n```json\n{\n \"mcpServers\": {\n \"anime-mcp-server\": {\n \"type\": \"stdio\",\n \"command\": \"bunx\",\n \"args\": [\"@cyanheads/anime-mcp-server@latest\"],\n \"env\": {\n \"MCP_TRANSPORT_TYPE\": \"stdio\",\n \"MCP_LOG_LEVEL\": \"info\"\n }\n }\n }\n}\n```\n\nOr with npx (no Bun required):\n\n```json\n{\n \"mcpServers\": {\n \"anime-mcp-server\": {\n \"type\": \"stdio\",\n \"command\": \"npx\",\n \"args\": [\"-y\", \"@cyanheads/anime-mcp-server@latest\"],\n \"env\": {\n \"MCP_TRANSPORT_TYPE\": \"stdio\",\n \"MCP_LOG_LEVEL\": \"info\"\n }\n }\n }\n}\n```\n\nOr with Docker:\n\n```json\n{\n \"mcpServers\": {\n \"anime-mcp-server\": {\n \"type\": \"stdio\",\n \"command\": \"docker\",\n \"args\": [\n \"run\", \"-i\", \"--rm\",\n \"-e\", \"MCP_TRANSPORT_TYPE=stdio\",\n \"ghcr.io/cyanheads/anime-mcp-server:latest\"\n ]\n }\n }\n}\n```\n\nFor Streamable HTTP, set the transport and start the server:\n\n```sh\nMCP_TRANSPORT_TYPE=http MCP_HTTP_PORT=3010 bun run start:http\n# Server listens at http://localhost:3010/mcp\n```\n\n### Prerequisites\n\n- [Bun v1.3.0](https://bun.sh/) or higher (or Node.js v24+). No API keys needed.\n\n### Installation\n\n1. **Clone the repository:**\n\n```sh\ngit clone https://github.com/cyanheads/anime-mcp-server.git\n```\n\n2. **Navigate into the directory:**\n\n```sh\ncd anime-mcp-server\n```\n\n3. **Install dependencies:**\n\n```sh\nbun install\n```\n\n4. **Configure environment (optional):**\n\n```sh\ncp .env.example .env\n# edit .env if you want to change transport or log level\n```\n\n---\n\n## Configuration\n\nNo server-specific env vars are required. All framework variables are optional with sensible defaults.\n\n| Variable | Description | Default |\n|:---------|:------------|:--------|\n| `MCP_TRANSPORT_TYPE` | Transport: `stdio` or `http`. | `stdio` |\n| `MCP_HTTP_PORT` | Port for HTTP server. | `3010` |\n| `MCP_HTTP_HOST` | Hostname for HTTP server. | `127.0.0.1` |\n| `MCP_HTTP_ENDPOINT_PATH` | Endpoint path for the MCP server. | `/mcp` |\n| `MCP_AUTH_MODE` | Auth mode: `none`, `jwt`, or `oauth`. | `none` |\n| `MCP_LOG_LEVEL` | Log level (RFC 5424): `debug`, `info`, `notice`, `warning`, `error`. | `info` |\n| `OTEL_ENABLED` | Enable [OpenTelemetry instrumentation](https://github.com/cyanheads/mcp-ts-core/tree/main/docs/telemetry). | `false` |\n\nSee [`.env.example`](./.env.example) for the full list of optional overrides.\n\n---\n\n## Running the server\n\n### Local development\n\n- **Build and run:**\n\n ```sh\n # One-time build\n bun run rebuild\n\n # Run the built server\n bun run start:stdio\n # or\n bun run start:http\n ```\n\n- **Run checks and tests:**\n\n ```sh\n bun run devcheck # Lint, format, typecheck, security\n bun run test # Vitest test suite\n bun run lint:mcp # Validate MCP definitions against spec\n ```\n\n### Docker\n\n```sh\ndocker build -t anime-mcp-server .\ndocker run --rm -p 3010:3010 anime-mcp-server\n```\n\nThe Dockerfile defaults to HTTP transport, stateless session mode, and logs to `/var/log/anime-mcp-server`. OpenTelemetry peer dependencies are installed by default — build with `--build-arg OTEL_ENABLED=false` to omit them.\n\n---\n\n## Project structure\n\n| Directory | Purpose |\n|:----------|:--------|\n| `src/index.ts` | `createApp()` entry point — registers tools, resources, and inits services. |\n| `src/mcp-server/tools` | Tool definitions (`*.tool.ts`). |\n| `src/mcp-server/resources` | Resource definitions (`*.resource.ts`). |\n| `src/services/anilist` | AniList GraphQL client — primary source for all queries. |\n| `src/services/jikan` | Jikan v4 REST client — MAL scores and recommendations. |\n| `src/services/kitsu` | Kitsu JSON:API client — streaming links with sub/dub language detail. |\n| `tests/` | Unit and integration tests mirroring `src/`. |\n| `changelog/` | Per-version changelog files (`changelog/.x/.md`). |\n\n---\n\n## Development guide\n\nSee [`CLAUDE.md`/`AGENTS.md`](./CLAUDE.md) for development guidelines and architectural rules. The short version:\n\n- Handlers throw, framework catches — no `try/catch` in tool logic\n- Use `ctx.log` for request-scoped logging, `ctx.state` for tenant-scoped storage\n- Register new tools and resources via the barrels in `src/mcp-server/*/definitions/index.ts`\n- Wrap external API calls: validate raw → normalize to domain type → return output schema; never fabricate missing fields\n- AniList is primary — supplement failures (Jikan, Kitsu) degrade gracefully via `Promise.allSettled`\n\n---\n\n## Contributing\n\nIssues and pull requests are welcome. Run checks and tests before submitting:\n\n```sh\nbun run devcheck\nbun run test\n```\n\n---\n\n## License\n\nApache-2.0 — see [LICENSE](LICENSE) for details.\n",
