What you can do with this MCP connector
Kitsu hooks up your AI agent to the Kitsu API. Use it to search, discover, and manage your personal collection of anime and manga. You can list new titles using list_anime or list_manga, get full metadata with get_anime or get_manga, and keep your progress straight by creating or updating entries with create_library_entry or update_library_entry.
It keeps your media tracking list right where you are.
Search and Filter Media
You can run searches to find specific anime or manga titles. Use list_anime or list_manga to search and filter results by categories, seasons, or years. You'll get deep details about any series using get_anime or get_manga.
Manage Library Entries
Keep tabs on what you're reading or watching. You can list all titles in your collection using list_library_entries. You'll also add new titles to your collection with create_library_entry, or modify the status or progress of an existing title with update_library_entry.
Check User Profiles
You can check your own account status with get_current_user. If you need info on a specific person, use get_user to pull details for any specified user account.
How Kitsu MCP Works
- 1 Subscribe to the Kitsu server and provide your Kitsu Access Token.
- 2 Your AI client sends a request (e.g., 'Show me my manga').
- 3 The agent executes the appropriate tool (e.g.,
list_manga) and sends the structured data back to your chat.
The bottom line is that your AI agent talks to Kitsu, and the data appears in your chat window.
Who Is Kitsu MCP For?
This is for anyone who tracks media consumption—anime fans, manga enthusiasts, or content researchers. If you're tired of jumping between Kitsu's website, your notes, and your chat app, this is for you. It lets you manage your entire library using only natural conversation.
Quickly find new series to watch, check if it's in your collection, and update your 'currently watching' status without opening a browser.
Retrieve accurate metadata, descriptions, and genre data for research or scriptwriting, pulling the info directly into your workflow.
Integrate media data into custom workflows, test library management features, or build scripts that rely on structured anime/manga information.
What Changes When You Connect
- Update your progress instantly. Instead of manually visiting the Kitsu site, just tell your agent to run
update_library_entryfor 'Attack on Titan' to mark it as 'Completed'. - Discover new titles without leaving your chat. Use
list_animeorlist_mangawith filters (like 'Action' or 'Summer 2024') to see results right where you are working. - Get deep data on the fly. If you need genre details or a synopsis for research, use
get_animeorget_mangato pull the metadata into your conversation. - Keep track of your whole list. Running
list_library_entriesgives you a clean, structured view of every manga and anime title you own in your collection. - Access user data easily. Need to check a friend's profile? Use
get_userto pull their profile details without logging into another service.
Real-World Use Cases
Tracking a binge-watch session
You just finished a season. You tell your agent, 'Mark 'Jujutsu Kaisen' as currently watching.' The agent runs update_library_entry, and the status updates immediately, keeping your record accurate. No manual web visits needed.
Researching a character's origin
You're writing a script and need facts on a specific character. You ask your agent to run get_anime for the series. The agent pulls the full metadata, including production details and genres, which you copy straight into your document.
Building a recommendation list
You want to find similar titles. You ask your agent to run list_manga filtered by 'Sci-Fi' and 'Action'. The agent returns a list of potential manga, allowing you to quickly build a recommendation list for others.
Checking a friend's stats
Need to see if your friend finished that series. You ask your agent to run get_user for their ID. The agent pulls their profile data, confirming their activity status without needing a direct link.
The Tradeoffs
Trying to search across domains
Asking the agent to 'show me all action media from 2023' and hoping it combines results from anime and manga.
→
You have to break it down. First, run list_anime using the filters. Then, run list_manga using the filters. You handle the comparison in your chat.
Updating status manually
Going to the Kitsu website, finding the series, clicking the progress bar, and changing the status to 'Completed'.
→
Just tell your agent to run update_library_entry for the series ID. The agent does the update for you, keeping your chat flow clean.
Ignoring required tokens
Asking the agent to list your library entries without first providing the necessary Kitsu Access Token.
→
The agent will prompt you for the token. Make sure your client is configured to pass the token so that list_library_entries can execute successfully.
When It Fits, When It Doesn't
Use this if your workflow revolves around managing structured media data—anime, manga, or user profiles. You need to check a title's status, discover new content using specific filters, or maintain a structured library list. It’s best when the interaction is discrete: 'Give me the details for X' or 'Mark Y as Z'.
Don't use this if you need vague, cross-domain knowledge (e.g., 'What are popular genres right now?'). For that, you're better off using a general search engine or a dedicated knowledge base tool. If your goal is pure writing assistance and not data manipulation, this isn't it. Stick to the tools: list_anime, list_manga, get_anime, and get_manga.

Available Capabilities
Keeping track of your media library shouldn't require multiple browser tabs.
Right now, updating your library means logging into Kitsu, navigating to the title, finding the progress tracker, and manually changing the status. You have to repeat this for every series you finish or start.
With the Kitsu MCP Server, you just tell your agent the title and the new status. The agent runs `update_library_entry`, and the data updates instantly. Your whole workflow stays in the chat.
Kitsu MCP Server: Manage your media collection with structured tools
Before this, finding specific metadata meant navigating deep into separate pages for genres, descriptions, and production details. It was a copy-paste job, hoping you didn't miss a key detail.
Now, you ask your agent to `get_anime` for the series. The full, clean metadata comes back in one go. It's all structured data you can use immediately.
Common Questions About Kitsu MCP
How do I search for a specific anime using the `list_anime` tool? +
You can search by telling your agent the specific filters. The list_anime tool accepts filters for text, categories, seasons, or years, so just give it those details.
Can I update my library status using the `update_library_entry` tool? +
Yes. You simply ask your agent to update the entry, providing the title and the desired status (e.g., 'Completed'). The update_library_entry tool handles the change.
What is the difference between `get_anime` and `list_anime`? +
list_anime searches and shows you a list of results based on filters. get_anime fetches the full, deep details for one specific anime ID.
How do I get details for a user using the `get_user` tool? +
You must provide the user's unique ID. The get_user tool retrieves the profile details for that specific user ID.
What should I use if I only want to see my own tracked titles, and how does `list_library_entries` help? +
Use list_library_entries to pull all your personal tracking data. This tool reads your entire collection, showing you entries like 'currently watching' or 'completed' without needing to filter by title.
I need to check details for a manga, but I don't know the exact title. Can `list_manga` help me search? +
Yes, list_manga lets you search by filters. You can narrow down the results using categories, years, or text input to find the manga you're looking for.
What is the difference between `get_current_user` and `get_user` when managing profiles? +
Use get_current_user to fetch details for the account running the agent. get_user requires you to pass a specific user identifier to pull data for a different account.
If I want to add a brand new anime to my collection, which tool should I use, and what is the `create_library_entry` tool for? +
You should use create_library_entry. This tool adds a new title to your personal library list, letting you track it without needing to find it first in the database.
Can I search for anime by specific seasons or years? +
Yes! The list_anime tool allows you to filter by filter_season (winter, spring, summer, fall) and filter_year (e.g., 2023 or a range like 2010..2020).
How do I see what's currently in my library? +
You can use the list_library_entries tool with your user_id. If you don't know your ID, run get_current_user first to retrieve your profile details.
Can I update my progress on a manga I'm reading? +
Absolutely. Use the update_library_entry tool to modify the status or progress of any existing entry in your library.
