This creates a critical problem for AI automation:\n\n- When AI agents create notes, they can't see what tags already exist\n- This leads to tag duplication with slight variations (e.g., `roman-empire`, `roman_empire`, `RomanEmpire`)\n- Tag bloat defeats the purpose of organized tagging systems\n- No way to audit or clean up tag inconsistencies\n\n#\n\n[Read the thread](https://github.com/ankimcp/anki-mcp-server/issues/13) · 2026-01-12 · closed · external user · 2 comments\n\n### Anki mcp for mcp clients fails with 'ERR_REQUIRE_ESM'\n\nHi, i am getting the below error while trying to use anki mcp server.\nI get the same error for both perplexity desktop app and vs code. \nIt is interesting that mcp server is incompatible with one of its dependencies, ky. \n\nPlatform: Macos, Macbook Air M4\nClients: Perplexity, VS Code\nanki-mcp-server v0.8.5\n\n2025-12-14 20:42:54.852 [info] Connection state: Stopped\n2025-12-14 20:43:07.239 [info] Starting server my-mcp-server-bdc40830\n2025-12-14 20:43:07.239 [info] Connection state: Starting\n2025-1\n\n[Read the thread](https://github.com/ankimcp/anki-mcp-server/issues/12) · 2025-12-14 · closed · external user · 4 comments\n\n### Most recent\n\n### v0.24.1 crashes on startup for all npm installs: @nestjs/core exact pin vs floating @nestjs/microservices\n\n## Summary\n\n`v0.24.1` fails to start for anyone who installs it from npm.
