login_mal Log in to MyAnimeList ~138
Authorize the personal-list tools with your MyAnimeList account (one-time). Prerequisite: register a MAL API app of type 'other' at https://myanimelist.net/apiconfig with Redirect URI set to this server's localhost callback, and set MAL_CLIENT_ID in the server env. Calling this returns an authorization URL: open it, log in, and click Allow. If your browser is on the same machine as the server and the callback port is free, login completes automatically; otherwise (a remote/headless host, or the port is busy) copy the URL you land on and pass it to submit_mal_redirect.
Input schema present but exposes no named parameters.

| auto_capture | boolean | yes | — |
| instructions | string | yes | — |
| redirect_uri | string | yes | — |
No examples provided.
search_anime Search anime ~786
Search MyAnimeList anime by keyword; returns compact summaries (with the mal_id that other anime tools require) plus pagination info. If Tenrai is unavailable and MAL_CLIENT_ID is set, transparently retries via the official API, which ignores every filter except `q`/`sfw`/`limit`/`page` (`type`/`status`/`genres`/`genres_exclude`/`rating`/`score`/`min_score`/`max_score`/`letter`/`producers`/`start_date`/`end_date`/`unapproved`/`order_by`/`sort` are silently dropped), always returns empty `themes`/`demographics`/`broadcast` (no official-API equivalent for any of these), enforces an explicit `sfw: true` client-side (a filtered page can come back shorter than `limit`), and — for a query with no real title match — comes back with a page of unrelated anime instead of an empty result (a quirk of the official search endpoint itself, not a mal-mcp bug; don't treat a nonsense-query result as a real match during a fallback).
