From the project README
2anki.net
2anki.net helps you turn your Notion pages, HTML, Markdown, and other study material into Anki flashcards. Drop something in, get a clean .apkg deck back — no fuss.
Why 2anki?
We're not replacing Anki or Notion — we're building a bridge between them. Drop in what you're studying, get a deck back.
- Free to use, no technical skills required
- Multi-format: Notion pages (via API or HTML export), PDF, Word (docx), PowerPoint, Markdown, HTML, CSV, Excel (xlsx), EPUB, Kindle clippings, Quizlet exports, and zip bundles
- Image occlusion and photo-to-deck for diagrams and handwritten notes
- Toggle lists become cards, cloze deletions work out of the box
- Embeds, audio, images, code blocks, and LaTeX carried over
- Self-hostable if you hit the free-tier quota
- No VC funding — sustained by paying subscribers and lifetime users
Apps
2anki runs in any browser, and there's a native app for iPhone, iPad, and Mac — free on the App Store. Files are parsed on-device; sign in for AI deck generation and Notion sync. See 2anki.net/app.
Getting started
git clone https://github.com/Laer-Smart/2anki.net.git
cd 2anki.net
pnpm install
touch .env
pnpm dev
The server starts on http://localhost:2020 and the frontend on http://localhost:3000. For server-only work: pnpm dev:server.
How we develop
Every change that touches user-facing behavior goes through a product trio — three AI agents (PM, Designer, Engineer) working in parallel at the center of the loop. Alexander (lead developer) is the human in the loop: he sets direction, approves specs, and merges PRs. The goal is to catch bad assumptions before engineering time is committed.
The trio is powered by Claude subagents in .claude/agents/. Use /trio <task> to invoke all three in parallel on any prompt.

From what the protocol is to installing your first server, these answers cover most first questions.
An open protocol that defines how AI applications connect to external tools and data in a uniform way. Clients talk to the model; MCP servers provide tools, resources and prompt templates. They exchange standard messages, so one server can be reused by many clients.
