We predict the existence of vibrational Andreev bound states in deformable magnetic molecules on superconducting surfaces. We discuss the Anderson impurity model with electron-phonon coupling to a realistic anharmonic vibrational mode that modulates the tunneling barrier and show that the vibronic features are spectroscopically most visibile near the transition point between the Kondo-screened singlet and the unscreened doublet ground state. We find competing tendencies between phonon hardening due to anharmonicity and softening due to coupling to electrons, contrary to the Anderson-Holstein model and other models with harmonic local phonon mode where the vibrational mode is always softened. In addition, we find that the singlet and doublet many-body states may experience very different effective phonon potentials.
