claude mcp add --transport http ordkort https://ordkort.com/mcpWhat Ordkort does
Ordkort is a language-learning service with flashcards, a dictionary, grammar material and an explanatory translator for 60 languages. It includes ready-made decks covering 29 topics and levels A1–C1, FSRS-4.5 review scheduling, text reading with word lookup, and study statistics. Anki decks can move in or out as .apkg files, with CSV support as well.
The MCP server links an AI client with Ordkort so prompts can work with vocabulary, cards and learning material through the connected service. Claude Code needs the HTTP endpoint https://ordkort.com/mcp and this command: claude mcp add --transport http ordkort https://ordkort.com/mcp. Without that connection, the server is not available in the session.
