anywrite

Overview

anywrite is a single compiled Bun/TypeScript CLI for the Anytype desktop app's local HTTP API — all 52 endpoints across spaces, objects, properties, tags, types, templates, lists, chat, files, members, search, and auth — as one binary with zero runtime dependencies. It exists as a low-context alternative to Anytype's official MCP server: rather than exposing 52 always-loaded tools to every agent session, anywrite is a normal CLI wired as a skill that costs zero context until it's actually invoked, and is equally usable from a terminal or any script.

When to Use This Skill

• Use when the user mentions Anytype or asks to create, update, search, or organize notes, tasks, or PKM objects.
• Use when working with Anytype spaces, properties, tags, types, templates, or lists (sets and collections).
• Use when the user asks to upload files to a space, chat inside a space, or read/write structured objects programmatically.

How It Works

Step 1: Ensure Anytype desktop is running and authenticated

This repository does not ship the anywrite executable. The user must install or build a reviewed upstream release outside the current workspace and provide its explicit absolute path. Before use, verify that path is an executable regular file, is not a symlink, and is not a workspace-relative dist/ artifact. Never auto-discover or execute ./dist/anywrite from the repository being worked on.

The Anytype desktop app must be running locally (default http://localhost:31009). Authenticate once:
