설치

클라이언트 선택

~/Library/Application Support/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json · Windows: %APPDATA%\Claude\claude_desktop_config.json

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "anytype": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": [
        "-y",
        "anytype-mcp"
      ],
      "_inferred": true
    }
  }
}

Claude Desktop → Settings → Developer → Edit Config 열기. 저장 후 앱 재시작.

~/.cursor/mcp.json · .cursor/mcp.json

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "anytype": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": [
        "-y",
        "anytype-mcp"
      ],
      "_inferred": true
    }
  }
}

Cursor는 Claude Desktop과 동일한 mcpServers 스키마 사용. 프로젝트 설정이 전역보다 우선.

VS Code → Cline → MCP Servers → Edit

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "anytype": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": [
        "-y",
        "anytype-mcp"
      ],
      "_inferred": true
    }
  }
}

Cline 사이드바의 MCP Servers 아이콘 클릭 후 "Edit Configuration" 선택.

~/.codeium/windsurf/mcp_config.json

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "anytype": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": [
        "-y",
        "anytype-mcp"
      ],
      "_inferred": true
    }
  }
}

Claude Desktop과 같은 형식. Windsurf 재시작 후 적용.

~/.continue/config.json

{
  "mcpServers": [
    {
      "name": "anytype",
      "command": "npx",
      "args": [
        "-y",
        "anytype-mcp"
      ]
    }
  ]
}

Continue는 맵이 아닌 서버 오브젝트 배열 사용.

~/.config/zed/settings.json

{
  "context_servers": {
    "anytype": {
      "command": {
        "path": "npx",
        "args": [
          "-y",
          "anytype-mcp"
        ]
      }
    }
  }
}

context_servers에 추가. 저장 시 Zed가 핫 리로드.

claude mcp add anytype -- npx -y anytype-mcp

한 줄 명령. claude mcp list로 확인, claude mcp remove로 제거.

사용 사례

실전 활용법: anytype-mcp

Capture agent research into Anytype objects

👤 Researchers, PKM enthusiasts ⏱ ~15 min beginner

언제 쓸까: You want takeaways from a Claude session to land directly in your wiki, not in another chat log you'll lose.

사전 조건

Anytype desktop running — anytype.io
API key — Anytype → App Settings → API Keys → New

흐름

Define the target type

In my Anytype space 'Research', ensure a type 'Paper Note' exists with properties [title, summary, source, tags].✓ 복사됨

→ Type created or already present
Create objects from the chat content

For each paper I referenced in the last turn, create a 'Paper Note' object with summary and tags.✓ 복사됨

→ N objects created

결과: Session knowledge persisted where you can find it later.

함정

Bearer token leaked in logs — Use env var, never inline; regenerate if exposed

함께 쓰기: zotero

Process an Anytype inbox space into typed notes

👤 PKM maintainers ⏱ ~25 min intermediate

언제 쓸까: Your 'Inbox' space piles up; you want AI to classify and file into proper types.

흐름

List inbox items

Search objects in space 'Inbox' with no type or type='Note'. Return titles + snippet.✓ 복사됨

→ Raw inbox list
Classify and re-type

For each, propose the right type (Idea, Task, Reference, Person) and move it to the correct space. Apply tags.✓ 복사됨

→ Inbox drains into structured spaces

결과: A continuously-processed PKM without manual triage.

Ask questions of your own wiki with Anytype MCP

👤 Anyone with years of notes ⏱ ~10 min beginner

언제 쓸까: You remember writing something relevant but can't find it.

흐름

Global search

Search all my Anytype spaces for notes mentioning 'retrieval augmentation'. Return top 10 with snippets.✓ 복사됨

→ Ranked hits across spaces
Synthesize

Summarize what past me thought about this topic, with links back to the objects.✓ 복사됨

→ Personal knowledge recap with citations

결과: You stop losing your own thinking.

조합

다른 MCP와 조합해 10배 효율

anytype + zotero

Paper PDFs stay in Zotero; reading notes and syntheses live in Anytype

For papers tagged 'to-read' in Zotero, create corresponding Anytype Paper Notes with the abstract as starter content.✓ 복사됨

anytype + firecrawl

Scrape → summarize → save to Anytype

Scrape anthropic.com/news from the last month, summarize each post, and create an Anytype object per post.✓ 복사됨

도구

이 MCP가 노출하는 것

도구	입력	언제 호출
global_search	query: str, limit?	Cross-space lookup
space_search	space, query	Scoped search
create_object	space, type, properties	Add new note/record
update_object	object_id, properties	Edit existing
list_types	space?	Discover schema
list_members	space	Multi-user spaces

비용 및 제한

운영 비용

API 쿼터: None — local Anytype
호출당 토큰: Full-object reads can be large if you have big notes
금액: Free
팁: Prefer list_types/list_properties before creates; avoid schema drift from agent-generated types

보안

권한, 시크릿, 파급범위

자격 증명 저장: Bearer token from Anytype in env var; rotate in App Settings

데이터 외부 송신: Only to 127.0.0.1:31009 by default; Anytype itself syncs end-to-end encrypted

문제 해결

자주 발생하는 오류와 해결

Connection refused

Anytype desktop must be running; confirm API is enabled in App Settings and port 31009 isn't blocked

확인: curl http://127.0.0.1:31009/health

401 Unauthorized

Token revoked or wrong; regenerate in App Settings → API Keys

Objects created in the wrong space

Always pass space explicitly; there's no 'default space' safety net

대안
