How this component scores in each security and reliability category. Every signal is checked automatically from public evidence about the published package, including repeated runs of it in an isolated sandbox, and we only credit what we can confirm. How we score → Why this is hard to score →
Supply Chain Security25
- No malware scan is available for this kind of package: the supply-chain vendors we use do not cover it. This is a permanent gap in our coverage, not a finding about the package.Unverified
- Known CVEs were checked across the 3 of 3 dependencies we could resolve, so this covers what we could see, not the whole tree.Partial
- No install/post-install scripts declared.Pass
- 0 of 3 dependencies flagged as unhealthy. View diagnostics → Pass
Provenance & Transparency48
- Source repository is publicly reachable at the declared URL. View diagnostics → Pass
- Provenance check failed: no build-provenance attestation is published. See how to fix → View diagnostics → Fail
- Clear OSI-approved license (MIT).Pass
- Actively maintained (last published 13 days ago).Pass
- Publishes a security disclosure policy (SECURITY.md).Pass
Schema Quality & AI Usability77
- 100% of prompts and resources have a non-trivial description (not blank, and not just the item's name).Pass
- AI-judged instruction clarity (excellent).Pass
- Context-footprint check failed: tool/resource definitions use about 16545 tokens (~330/item across 50 items; 50 tools + 0 resources), over budget; trim descriptions and params. See how to fix → Fail
- Usage-examples check failed: none of the tools include examples. See how to fix → Fail
Stability & Change Management100
- No destabilizing schema changes in the last 30 days.Pass
Tool Coverage100
- 100% of tools have a non-trivial description (not blank, and not just the tool's name).Pass
- 100% of tool parameters carry a description.Pass
- Structured output schemas are declared (100% of tools); any adoption earns full credit.Pass
Tool Safety100
- No prompt-injection markers were found in the server instructions, tool names or descriptions we captured.Pass
- All 4 tool(s) whose name or description implies an irreversible operation declare an MCP destructiveHint annotation.Pass
- An AI judge read all 51 captured unit(s) of tool text and found none that tries to manipulate the model reading it.Pass
Capabilities100

The tools this component advertises to a client, with an estimated token cost for each. Expand a tool to see its parameters and schema. The per-tool counts are indicative and are not scored directly; the schema's total context footprint is one signal in Schema Quality & AI Usability. A tool's description is untrusted text the model reads on every call, which is what makes this list a security surface and not just an inventory: how tool poisoning works →
update_list_entry Update an entry on your AniList list ~670
[Requires login] Update an existing entry on the authenticated user's own AniList list by its list-entry ID (NOT the media ID — get it from get_user_list, or from add_list_entry's response). Only set the fields you want to change. Updating MANY entries to the SAME values? Use update_list_entries instead — one request rather than one per entry. The response echoes what AniList actually stored, so check it rather than assuming the write landed verbatim. It includes `customLists`/`advancedScores` only when you set them — those are the fields AniList zeroes/replaces rather than merges; otherwise the echo is trimmed.
| Name | Type | Req | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| advancedScores | object | – | New per-category scores, keyed and error-checked the same way as add_list_entry (errors if advanced scoring is disabled, or a key doesn't match a configured category). Unlike this tool's other fields… |
| completedAt | object | – | New completion date. |
| customLists | array | – | New set of custom lists for this entry — REPLACES this entry's full set of enabled lists, not merged: naming only a subset silently turns OFF every other list this entry was previously filed under (c… |
| hiddenFromStatusLists | boolean | – | Hide/unhide this entry from the public status-grouped list views (e.g. 'Watching') while still counting it in statistics — distinct from `private`, which hides the entry entirely. |
| listEntryId | integer | yes | The list ENTRY id to update (not the media id). |
| notes | string | – | New free-text notes (per AniList's own schema, capped at 6000 characters). |
| priority | integer | – | New list priority (higher = more important; per AniList's own schema, capped at 255). |
| private | boolean | – | Hide/unhide this entry from your public list. |
| progress | integer | – | New episodes watched / chapters read. |
| progressVolumes | integer | – | New volumes read (manga only). |
| repeat | integer | – | New rewatch/reread count (per AniList's own schema, capped at 1000). |
| score | number | – | New score out of 10 (decimals allowed), always on this scale regardless of the account's configured scoreFormat (set via update_user) — no conversion needed. |
| startedAt | object | – | New start date. |
| status | string | – | New list status. |
| Name | Type | Req | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| entry | object | yes | – |
No examples provided.
update_user Update your AniList account settings ~912
[Requires login] Update settings on the authenticated user's own AniList account (about text, preferred title language, adult-content visibility, score format, notification/messaging preferences, anime/manga list options). Only set the fields you want to change — most fields are a true partial update (see `notificationOptions`/`disabledListActivity` below for two confirmed exceptions, PLUS `animeListOptions`/`mangaListOptions`'s nested `customLists` — a third: that one field's ARRAY VALUE is a full replace even though its sibling fields and the other list type merge normally).
| Name | Type | Req | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| about | string | – | New profile 'about' text. |
| activityMergeTime | integer | – | Minutes within which consecutive list activity posts get merged into one. Per AniList's own schema: 0 = never merge, 20160+ (2 weeks) = always merge. |
| airingNotifications | boolean | – | Whether to notify about new episode airings for anime on your list. |
| animeListOptions | object | – | New anime-list display/scoring options — only the fields you set are changed (confirmed live: this is a partial merge, unlike add_list_entry's advancedScores). |
| disabledListActivity | array | – | ALL 6 list statuses, every time — confirmed live: AniList rejects this with a 400 error if any status is missing ("Incorrect number of disabled list activity options"), it's not a partial per-status… |
| displayAdultContent | boolean | – | Whether to show adult content in search/browse. |
| donatorBadge | string | – | Custom donator badge text, up to 24 characters per AniList's own schema (only takes effect on a donator account). |
| mangaListOptions | object | – | New manga-list display/scoring options — same partial-merge behavior as `animeListOptions` above. |
| notificationOptions | array | – | ALL 20 notification types, every time — confirmed live this is a full replace, not a partial merge: AniList silently drops every type you don't list (not just resets it to default, removes it) with n… |
| profileColor | string | – | Profile accent color (name or hex). Confirmed live: AniList silently ignores an unrecognized value instead of erroring — the account's existing color is left unchanged, with no error surfaced and no… |
| restrictMessagesToFollowing | boolean | – | Only allow message activity from users you follow. |
| rowOrder | string | – | Internal list-table row ordering key — reads back from `mediaListOptions.rowOrder` in the profile tools/this tool's own response. Confirmed live: AniList validates this server-side and rejects an unr… |
| scoreFormat | string | – | Preferred list score format. It affects how scores DISPLAY on anilist.co only: every score crossing this server stays on its own documented scale whatever this is set to, so no conversion is needed o… |
| staffNameLanguage | string | – | Preferred staff/character name display language. |
| timezone | string | – | Display timezone as an offset, in AniList's own documented "-?HH:MM" format (e.g. "09:00", "-05:00"). Confirmed live that AniList validates this server-side and rejects a malformed value with a clear… |
| titleLanguage | string | – | Preferred title display language. |

How do I install the AniList MCP Server (Unofficial) server?
AniList MCP Server (Unofficial) ships as an MCPB bundle, a single file you download and open in an MCP host that supports MCPB bundles, such as Claude Desktop. The host reads the launch command from the bundle's own manifest, so there is no command to copy. Before opening it, check the file's SHA-256 matches the one the MCP registry declares for it, 6cc99cb83fec9c311f1f7cad1e731a13b1b1accc81eb3430e571cc453f5dd7bb; the commands to do that are on this page. If it does not match, do not open it.
