# Use Nika with AnythingLLM

> Add the read-only Nika oracle to AnythingLLM with the standard mcpServers stanza. Wiring is manual (no wire target).

[AnythingLLM](https://github.com/Mintplex-Labs/anything-llm) speaks MCP
through the standard `mcpServers` JSON convention (the Claude-Desktop
shape) — its MCP docs show where the servers file lives for your install
(desktop vs Docker). The binary comes first:
`brew install supernovae-st/tap/nika`
([other paths](/getting-started/installation)).

Wiring is manual — `nika wire` has no AnythingLLM target. Add the `nika`
entry to AnythingLLM's MCP servers file:

```json theme={"system"}
{ "mcpServers": { "nika": { "command": "nika", "args": ["mcp"] } } }
```

<Note>
  The stable contract is the stanza — `nika` + `mcp`, stdio. If AnythingLLM's
  documented file location has moved, the stanza still applies.
</Note>

## What you get

Validation, explanation, schema and cost answers for `.nika.yaml`
workflows — no execution, no mutation, by design
([the oracle's contract](/reference/mcp-server)). Running workflows stays
on the terminal, where the budget flags and traces live.

## Verify

AnythingLLM's agent-skills / MCP panel lists `nika` with the eight
`nika_*` tools. Then prove the loop end-to-end:
