02 · What AnkiMCP Server can do

Prose above is summarized from the project's README and registry record - no invented capabilities.

Limitations (from the README)

On first run, this addon downloads pydantic_core (~2MB) from PyPI. This is required because pydantic_core contains platform-specific binaries (Windows/macOS/Linux) that cannot be bundled in a single addon file.
