Overview

What is Scryfall MCP Server?

A comprehensive Model Context Protocol (MCP) server that integrates with the Scryfall API to provide Magic: The Gathering card data and functionality to AI assistants like Claude.

How to use Scryfall MCP Server?

Install Node.js 18+, clone the repository, install dependencies, optionally configure environment variables, and build the project. Then add the server configuration to your Claude Desktop configuration file using the absolute path to the built index.js file. Use MCP tools such as search_cards, get_card, get_card_prices, random_card, and search_sets.

Frequently asked questions

1

How does rate limiting work?

The server enforces a 100ms minimum interval between requests (10 requests/second max) and automatically retries on 429 responses with exponential backoff.

2

How do I integrate with Claude Desktop?

Add a JSON block to your Claude Desktop configuration file (e.g., `~/Library/Application Support/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json`) specifying the command `node` and the path to the built `dist/index.js` file.

3

What happens if a card is not found?

The server returns a 404 error. Verify the card name spelling, use set code + collector number format, or check if the card exists on Scryfall.

4

Can I clear the cache without restarting?

Yes, you can programmatically clear caches by calling `server.clearCaches()` or simply restart the server.

5

What are the system requirements?

Node.js 18+ and npm or yarn. No additional external services or API keys are required beyond the Scryfall API (which is publicly available).
