Zerochan FAQs

Question 1

How does Zerochan MCP handle tag formats compared to other image boards?

Accepted Answer

Unlike some other image boards, Zerochan uses a natural Title Case format with spaces (e.g., 'Hatsune Miku'). This means character names and themes often work verbatim in searches, simplifying interaction.

Question 2

What is Zerochan MCP and how does it work?

Accepted Answer

Zerochan MCP is a Python server that wraps the read-only Zerochan anime image board API, making it compatible with any MCP-enabled AI assistant like Claude Desktop or Cursor. It allows your AI to directly browse, search, and retrieve information from Zerochan's extensive image collection within a conversation.

Question 3

What kind of image searching and filtering capabilities does it offer?

Accepted Answer

Users can browse global feeds, sort by newest or most-favorited, and filter by image dimensions or dominant color. It also supports powerful tag-based searching, including multi-tag queries and 'strict mode' to find images where a tag is the primary subject.

Question 4

What metadata can I retrieve for a Zerochan image?

Accepted Answer

For any Zerochan entry, you can retrieve complete metadata including all associated tags, various image URLs (full, medium, small), the original source link, image dimensions, favorite counts, and linked anime, manga, or game associations.

Question 5

Is authentication required to use Zerochan MCP?

Accepted Answer

Yes, Zerochan's API requires a valid username in every request. You must export your Zerochan username as an environment variable (`ZEROCHAN_USERNAME`) for the server to function correctly.
