Enables external applications to communicate with Anki over a simple HTTP API, supporting card deck queries, automatic card creation, and more.
Fills Anki note fields using AI services or local MDX and online dictionaries, per-field, with batch processing, scheduled generation, custom parsers and configuration backup.
Brings AnkiDroid’s JavaScript template API to desktop Anki, enabling interactive cards with programmatic control over card data, actions, reviewer, text-to-speech, UI, and tags.
Automatically creates language-learning flashcards by translating bracketed words within sentences in batches across 14+ languages, following the i+1 context principle.
Downgrades AnkiConnect to a selectable older version, defaulting to 23.10.29.0, overwriting the current installation while preserving settings to restore compatibility on older Anki versions.
Provides seamless full-window background scenes that shift with the sun through day cycles, plus dimming, blur, albums, and post-study scene changes.
Tsunagi (繋ぎ, “connection”) connects Anki Desktop to dictionary tools, mining apps and scripts. Existing AnkiConnect tools work as they are, and the Tsunagi API gives new apps more to work with.
After installing, restart Anki and open Tools → 🔗 Tsunagi. Coming from AnkiConnect? Tsunagi can take over its port, key and allowed websites, and your existing tools generally keep working as they are.
Experimental. Supports Anki 26.08 and 26.09. The Tsunagi API still changes quickly; the AnkiConnect side stays stable.

Tsunagi (繋ぎ, “connection”) is an Anki desktop add-on that can take over from AnkiConnect while giving new integrations a richer HTTP API.
Install Tsunagi and let it take over AnkiConnect's port, key and allowed websites. Yomitan, asbplayer and your other AnkiConnect tools generally keep working without changes.
Ask for the data you need instead of chaining narrow actions. Live change events, undoable writes, per-app permissions, FSRS tools and a typed TypeScript client come with it.

[!NOTE] Experimental. Supports Anki 26.08 and 26.09 (the current desktop release and the one before it); some features depend on your settings.

Tested tools: Yomitan, asbplayer, Obsidian_to_Anki and 24 more are checked against Tsunagi request by request on every change.
http://127.0.0.1:7777.Keep Anki open with a profile loaded. Programs on this computer need no key by default (app keys).
curl http://127.0.0.1:7777/v1/health
Browse the API reference, or open http://127.0.0.1:7777/ while Anki runs to send real requests.

Take a note-type picker. With AnkiConnect, fetch modelNames, then call
modelFieldNames for each type you need. With Tsunagi, ask for both together:
curl --get 'http://127.0.0.1:7777/v1/note-types' \
--data-urlencode 'select=id,name,fields[].name'
Each note type comes back with its ID, name and field names. Notes, cards, reviews and decks are queried the same way.
Fewer requests add up: in one measured Yomitan workflow, mining ten words, the Tsunagi API made 40 requests in 326 ms where AnkiConnect made 80 in 2,875 ms (benchmarks).
| Undoable writes | Edit → Undo reverts most API changes. |
| Safe retries | A write retried with the same Idempotency-Key happens once. |
| Live changes | An event stream of what changed in the collection. |
| A key per app | Separate credentials and permissions for each integration. |
| FSRS | Compute and evaluate parameters, and simulate study workload. |
| OpenAPI | Browse every operation in the API reference. |

Field names and values checked as you type, and queries that stay current as
Anki changes. Install it with npm install tsunagi-client
(npm).
const anki = new Tsunagi({ baseUrl: "http://127.0.0.1:7777" });
// Anki's states by name, checked as you type: is("suspended"), is("due")...
const suspended = await anki.cards.search("deck:Mining").is("suspended").count();
// Keep a list of the deck's notes current as Anki changes, whoever changes it.
await anki.notes.search("deck:Mining").select("id", "firstField").watch({
added: notes => show(notes),
updated: notes => show(notes),
removed: ids => hide(ids),
});
Everything is in Tools → 🔗 Tsunagi; the settings reference describes each page. If a tool can't connect, check that Anki is open and the tool uses the same port and key: Recent requests shows whether its requests arrive and why any were refused.
For other problems, open an issue
with your Anki version, operating system, the tool or request involved, and
Tsunagi's log file from Anki's logs/addons/ folder. Remove API keys and
private note content first.
