Modifying the answer by Bronx:

$.ajaxPrefilter(function (options, localOptions, jqXHR) {
    var token, tokenQuery;
    if (options.type.toLowerCase() !== 'get') {
        token = GetAntiForgeryToken();
        if (options.data.indexOf(token.name)===-1) {
            tokenQuery = token.name + '=' + token.value;
            options.data = options.data ? (options.data + '&' + tokenQuery) 
                : tokenQuery;
        }
    }
});

combined with this answer by Jon White

function GetAntiForgeryToken() {
  var tokenField = $("input[type='hidden'][name$='RequestVerificationToken']");
  if (tokenField.length == 0) { return null; 
  } else {
  return {
     name: tokenField[0].name,
     value: tokenField[0].value
  };
}
