What's the difference between tcgmcp and Hoard MCP?

tcgmcp is public and needs no account — it only reads TCGplayer market prices, for anyone. Hoard MCP (at mcp.tryhoard.com) is for a seller's own store — it needs a Hoard account and an OAuth login, and gives a connected AI assistant read access to that seller's live inventory, pricing, sales, and market data, plus gated write access to pricing rules. Start with tcgmcp if you just want a price with no account; use Hoard MCP once you have a Hoard account and want your assistant working against your own store.

Want your own store, not just prices?
tcgmcp only reads public TCGplayer prices. To let an AI assistant read your own inventory, pricing, and sales — and propose price changes you approve — connect Hoard MCP to your own Hoard account instead.
