Hello Everyone. Just joined the channel.

I checked the community guide and did a basic channel search, but didn't mind any setup guides. I'm hoping I can get some suggestions on how to set up automation with creating and editing Anki decks using Claude Desktop (PC). I would love suggestions on setting up an mcp server and any best practices on claude skills related to Anki.

Is this the preferred server?: https://ankiweb.net/shared/info/124672614

I've tried to install it, and the server is running, but Claude desktop is having difficulty connecting:

Server is up. The real blocker has been getting Claude to load it. We've tried:

1. claude_mcp_settings.json — ignored by desktop app
2. mcpServers in claude_desktop_config.json — also ignored
