AniList
Connects Claude to the AniList API for querying anime, manga, characters, staff, and user data. You get search tools across all those categories, detailed lookups by ID, user profile and list access, and authenticated operations like favoriting items or managing your anime list. Supports both stdio for local Claude Desktop use and HTTP for cloud deployment. Optional AniList API token unlocks the authenticated features. Reach for this when you want Claude to answer questions about anime titles, compare studio catalogs, check character details, or interact with AniList profiles and lists without leaving the conversation.
