Anytype team finnaly launched their own MCP server

https://github.com/anyproto/anytype-mcp

So this repo does not have any sense now and will be set to public archieve soon

Anytype FastAPI Backend

A FastAPI-based backend service for interacting with Anytype. This is a Python port of the Raycast Anytype Extension, providing RESTful API access to Anytype functionality.

Prerequisites

• Python 3.8+
• Anytype installed and running locally

Installation

1. Clone the repository:

git clone <repository-url>cd anytype-api

2. Create a virtual environment and install dependencies:

uv venv # Creates a virtual environment in .venv directorysource .venv/bin/activate # On Windows: .venv\Scripts\activate
uv pip install -e .

Running the Application

Development mode:

uvicorn app.main:app --reload

Production mode:

uvicorn app.main:app --host 0.0.0.0 --port 8000

API Documentation

Once the application is running, you can access the interactive API documentation at:

• http://localhost:8000/docs

MCP Server

This project includes an MCP (Model Context Protocol) server implementation that exposes Anytype API operations as MCP tools, enabling integration with MCP-compatible clients.

Configuration

The MCP server uses the following environment variables (should be set in .env file):

• ANYTYPE_API_URL — Base URL of the Anytype API (e.g., http://localhost:31009)
• ANYTYPE_API_KEY — API key for authentication

Obtaining API Key

You can obtain an API key using either of these methods:

Method 1: Using the Utility Script (Recommended)

Run the included utility script:

uv run get_api_key.py

This interactive script will guide you through the process of obtaining your API key.

Method 2: Manual Process

• Open Anytype it should be running in whole process and also should be launched whenever requests is expected
• run uv run uvicorn app.main:app --port 8081 (or other port)
• open http://localhost:8081/docs
• 
• /auth/challenge will show display code and return challenge_id
• both of that goes to /auth/api_key which will return api_key
• 
• paste "API Key" to .env file

Running the MCP Server

You can run the MCP server directly:

uv run app/anytype_mcp_server.py

or inside Docker (see below).

Docker

You can build and run the application using Docker:

Build the Docker image

docker build -t anytype-api .

Run the Docker container

docker run --rm --env-file .env --network host anytype-api

This will start the API server with environment variables loaded from .env and network mode set to host.

In target MCP client choose SSE type and http://localhost:8000/sse for endpoint
