The AnkiConnect plugin enables external applications such as Yomichan for Chrome to communicate with Anki over a remote API. This makes it possible to execute queries against the user's card deck, automatically create new vocabulary and Kanji flash cards, and more.
AnkiConnect can be downloaded from its Anki shared addon page or enabled through the Yomichan plugin if you have it installed. Once AnkiConnect is installed it is ready for use; no further configuration is required. Windows users may have to take additional steps to make Windows Firewall allows AnkiConnect to listen for incoming connections on TCP port 8765.
