Description

Anytype MCP is the official MCP integration for Anytype, the open-source, local-first knowledge management app. It lets your AI agent interact with your Anytype workspace β€” searching objects, reading content, creating notes, and navigating relations between objects in your personal knowledge graph. Everything stays local and encrypted, which sets it apart from cloud-based alternatives. Anytype's data model is based on objects with types and relations, similar to a graph database. Through MCP, your agent can traverse this graph β€” finding all notes linked to a project, listing tasks by status, or connecting ideas across different spaces. This structured approach gives AI queries more context than flat file search, because your data already has meaningful relationships defined. At version 1.0.7 with 301 stars and active commits, the project is in good shape. The official backing from the Anytype team ensures compatibility with the latest Anytype releases. The main limitation is that Anytype is a niche product compared to Notion or Obsidian, so this MCP server is only relevant if you are already an Anytype user or specifically want a local-first, encrypted knowledge base with AI access.

βœ… Best for

Anytype users who want AI-powered access to their local-first knowledge base

⏭️ Skip if

You use Notion, Obsidian, or another knowledge tool β€” look for those specific MCP servers

πŸ’‘ Use cases

  • Search and retrieve notes, tasks, and objects from your Anytype workspace via AI
  • Navigate knowledge graph relations to find connected ideas and references
  • Create and organize notes in Anytype through conversational commands

πŸ‘ Pros

  • βœ“ Official Anytype project with guaranteed compatibility and active development
  • βœ“ Local-first and encrypted β€” your data never leaves your device
  • βœ“ Graph-based data model gives richer context than flat file search

πŸ‘Ž Cons

  • βœ— Only useful if you are an Anytype user β€” no value otherwise
  • βœ— Anytype has a smaller community than Notion or Obsidian
  • βœ— Complex object type system has a learning curve that affects MCP interactions

πŸ’‘ Tips & tricks

Make sure your Anytype desktop app is running before starting the MCP server β€” it connects to Anytype's local middleware. Use Anytype's type system to your advantage: well-typed objects (with proper relations) give your agent much better search results than unstructured notes.
