Magic: The Gathering Cards & Sets

Magic: The Gathering Cards & Sets MCP Connector for Claude

A+

Magic: The Gathering as an MCP: search 30+ years of cards across 500+ sets by name/color/CMC/type, browse sets, resolve Gatherer ids, check types — and open virtual booster packs from Alpha to today. Keyless.

7 tools Official Updated Oct 1, 2026 Official Vinkius Partner

The first trading card game ever, fully queryable — Magic: The Gathering's entire print history as a single MCP server.

What you can do

  • Search the multiverse of cards — by name, color (U/W/B/R/G), converted mana cost, type or set, across 500+ expansions since Alpha (1993)
  • Canonical lookups — resolve any Gatherer multiverseid to its exact printing with rules text, power/toughness, artist and flavor
  • Set intelligence — browse 500+ sets with codes, release dates and blocks; get full details of any one (LEA = Alpha, MH2 = Modern Horizons 2)
  • Open virtual booster packs — a real gacha: 15 random cards from any set, the dopamine hit of opening Alpha or Zendikar again
  • Reprint hunting — every printing of a single card side by side

Why it matters

Magic's card database is cultural heritage: Black Lotus, the Power Nine, Lightning Bolt across 30 years of reprints. This MCP puts the catalog in front of an AI for deck discussion, price-print comparison, quiz building and nostalgia.

Who is this for?

Deck builders, collectors, MTG content creators, quiz/website builders, spreadsheet modelers and AI agents that need authoritative MTG card data.

7 tools expose this connector's capabilities to your AI agent.

get_card_by_multiverseid

Every Gatherer card URL maps to a multiverseid. Get one MTG card by its official multiverseid (the canonical Gatherer id)

find_format_staples

Find the most iconic printings of a card across all sets (reprints and price-light alternatives)

search_cards

Colors use single letters U/W/B/R/G (e.g. "U" for blue; "blue" also works but only matches some printings). Pagination via page/page_size with the total returned in the response. Example combos: name=bolt; colors=U cmc=5; set=LEA. Search Magic: The Gathering cards by name, color, mana cost, type or set (all 500+ sets)

list_sets

Paginated — sorted alphabetically by code, so use the name filter mentally or browse pages. List Magic sets: 500+ expansions from Alpha (1993) to today, with codes and release dates

get_set_details

Use codes from list_sets (e.g. "LEA" = Limited Edition Alpha). Get full details of one Magic set by code (Alpha, Modern Horizons...)

open_booster_pack

Pure nostalgia dopamine: "open an Alpha pack for me". Works best with classic sets (LEA, 2ED, MMQ, ZEN...). Open a virtual Magic booster pack: 15 random cards from any set (fun gacha simulator)

list_card_types

Includes newer types like Battle and Conspiracy. List all Magic card types (Creature, Instant, Battle, Planeswalker...)
