Is there an MCP server for TCG card prices?

Yes: tcgmcp. Use it to check public TCGplayer market-price data, estimate a decklist, or compare known printings. It doesn't need a Hoard account. For questions about your own store, connect Hoard MCP instead.

What is tcgmcp?

tcgmcp is a free, read-only MCP (Model Context Protocol) server built by Hoard. It can answer card-price questions without seeing your seller account, inventory, orders, or pricing rules. Add its remote URL to a compatible assistant and ask about a card.

Questions to ask after connecting

These are estimates for research, not a guaranteed live offer or checkout total. A deck estimate can omit unresolved or unpriced cards; check the returned coverage before you act on it.

Connect tcgmcp to your assistant for public prices. If the next question is “which of my listed cards are underpriced?” you need a store connection instead.

Frequently asked questions

Is there an MCP server for TCG, TCGplayer, Magic, or Pokemon card prices?

Yes. tcgmcp is a free MCP (Model Context Protocol) server that looks up TCGplayer market-price data for over 20 trading card games, including Magic: The Gathering and Pokemon. It needs no account or API key — add the connector URL and ask for a price.

What is tcgmcp?

tcgmcp is a free, unauthenticated, read-only MCP server built by Hoard. It looks up market-price data for a card, prices a pasted decklist, lists known printings, or returns a market index for a game or set.

Is tcgmcp free?

Yes. tcgmcp is free to use, with no account or API key required. It's funded by TCGplayer affiliate links attached to the buy links it returns, which don't change the price shown or charged.

Do I need an account to use tcgmcp?

No. tcgmcp needs no signup, no login, and no API key. Add its connector URL to an MCP-capable AI assistant and start asking about card prices.

What data and games does tcgmcp cover?

tcgmcp covers TCGplayer market prices across 20+ trading card games, including Magic: The Gathering, Pokemon, Yu-Gi-Oh!, One Piece, Lorcana, Flesh and Blood, Star Wars Unlimited, and Digimon. It returns nonfoil and foil prices where available. Its market index can show market- or low-based trends for one game or set; that is not a per-card low quote.

Can tcgmcp price a decklist in ChatGPT, Claude, or Cursor?

Yes, in a compatible MCP client. Paste the decklist and ask tcgmcp to estimate its TCGplayer market-price total. It identifies unresolved cards and may return only a known-price subtotal. The estimate is not a final cart or checkout price.

Which AI clients can connect to tcgmcp?

Any MCP client that supports remote HTTP servers, including Claude, Claude Code, Cursor, and ChatGPT (developer-mode connectors).

How do I connect to tcgmcp?

Add https://mcp.tcgmcp.com/mcp as a custom connector. In Claude: Settings → Connectors → Add custom connector. In Claude Code: claude mcp add --transport http tcgmcp https://mcp.tcgmcp.com/mcp. In Cursor: add it to your mcp.json. In ChatGPT: turn on developer mode, then Settings → Connectors → Add connector. No account or API key needed for any of these.

What's the difference between tcgmcp and Hoard MCP?

tcgmcp is public and needs no account — it reads TCGplayer card-price data, not your inventory or orders. Hoard MCP (at mcp.tryhoard.com) connects an authorized assistant to your own store. It needs a Hoard account and login, provides read access to your inventory, pricing, sales, and customer data, and gates pricing-rule changes behind a review and approval flow. Start with tcgmcp for a public price; use Hoard when the question is about your store.

Want your own store, not just prices?
Connect Hoard MCP to your TCGplayer store to ask about your inventory, pricing decisions, sales, and customers. You can review a proposed pricing-rule change before approving it; a public price lookup cannot do that job.
