Kanka MCP - Model Context Protocol Server for Kanka API
This project provides an MCP (Model Context Protocol) server for interacting with the Kanka API. It allows AI assistants to manage campaigns, characters, locations, posts, notes, and journals in your Kanka worldbuilding projects.
Features
The server provides tools for working with:
- Campaigns: List all user campaigns
- Characters: List, retrieve, create, update, and delete characters
- Locations: List, retrieve, create, update, and delete locations
- Posts: List, retrieve, create, update, and delete posts for any entity
- Notes: List, retrieve, create, update, and delete notes
- Journals: List, retrieve, create, update, and delete journals
All create and update operations properly handle HTML content for description fields and support privacy settings.

git clone https://github.com/yourusername/kanka_mcp.git cd kanka_mcp
Install dependencies:
pip install requests mcp[cli]
Or if you have a pyproject.toml file:
pip install .
Configuration
You need to set the KANKA_API_KEY
environment variable with your Kanka API key:
export KANKA_API_KEY=your_kanka_api_key
To get your Kanka API key:
- Log in to your Kanka account
- Go to "Account Settings"
- Navigate to the "API" section

Usage
Running the MCP Server
Run the server directly with:
python kanka_mcp.py
Adding to MCP Server Configuration
Add the following to your MCP server configuration:
"kanka": {
"command": "python",
"args": [
"FULL_PATH_TO_SCRIPT_FOLDER/kanka_mcp.py"
],
"env": {
"KANKA_API_KEY": "YOUR_KANKA_API_KEY"
}
}
Replace FULL_PATH_TO_SCRIPT_FOLDER
with the absolute path to the directory containing the kanka_mcp.py
script, and YOUR_KANKA_API_KEY
with your actual Kanka API key.
