Creativity · MCP — server

MCP Anytype Server

The MCP Anytype Server uses Anytype's local middleware to read and write objects inside a user's encrypted, local-first knowledge graph. It lets Claude create notes, link concepts, and query objects by type or relation — without any data leaving the device unless the user explicitly shares a space.

Frequently asked questions

Where does the data live?

Entirely on the user's device, encrypted. Syncing between devices happens through Anytype's P2P/backup nodes, but the MCP server talks only to the local middleware.

Is there a public API?

Anytype exposes a local gRPC/HTTP middleware used by the official desktop app. Community MCP servers wrap those calls; the API surface evolves as Anytype matures.

How is it different from Notion MCP?

Notion is cloud-hosted with a rich block API. Anytype is local-first, graph-shaped (objects and relations), and offline-friendly.
