Security note

MCP servers receive tool arguments from a conversation and may perform external actions. Review what a server can do before you enable it, and give it only the access it needs.

The registry verified the GitHub account mrfentmen for this listing. That does not show the account is the product's maker.

SourceWeft's checks cover whether the listing is complete and the endpoint answered; they do not review the server's code or what its tools do.

Overview

AI-generated overview

A local MCP server that lets an assistant search anime and manga from MyAnimeList through the public Jikan API, with no API key required.

What you can do: Search MyAnimeList anime and manga titles through the Jikan API and return the matching entries to the assistant. No tool list is published, so the exact operations are not documented beyond searching anime and manga.
When to use it: Useful when you want an assistant to look up anime or manga titles from MyAnimeList while chatting, without setting up an account or API key.
Requirements: Runs as a local process on the user's machine, installed from the npm package jikan-mcp over stdio. Desktop client only; no web execution. No authentication, environment variables or headers are declared. Network access to the Jikan API is implied.

Before you install

Queries are sent to the third-party Jikan API, which serves MyAnimeList data, so search terms leave your machine. No credentials, payments or write actions are indicated. The public Jikan API is rate-limited, so heavy use may be throttled.

Installation

In SourceWeft

Open Jikan Mcp in the dashboard and add it to a workspace.
Enable the server for the chats that should use its tools.

Desktop only via STDIO. STDIO servers start a local process, so they need the SourceWeft desktop host.
