What is the Ptcg MCP MCP server?

If you already use Ptcg MCP, the ptcg mcp mcp server is the piece that lets your assistant work with it directly. TypeScript project.

What the server does

This Model Context Protocol (MCP) server allows Claude to search and display Pokemon Trading Card Game cards.

  • Search cards by name, type, subtype, legality, and more
  • View high-resolution card images
  • Filter by various card attributes:
  • Name (supports exact matching with ! and wildcards with *)
  • Subtypes (e.g., Basic, EX, GX, V, VMAX, etc.)
  • Legalities (Standard, Expanded, Unlimited)

Available tools

The toolset is worth reading before you wire it up, because it tells you what the integration is really for:

  • Filters — The Filters tool exposed by this server

Installation

Setup follows the usual MCP pattern — install or clone the server, register it in your client's configuration file, restart the client. The configuration blocks on this page cover the common clients.

Where it fits

This sits in the developer tooling group, where several servers overlap in what they claim to do but differ sharply once you actually set them up. Ptcg MCP's toolset — Filters — is a fair guide to whether it matches your workflow. It is maintained by jlgrimes; worth a glance at recent repository activity before you build anything load-bearing on it.

This entry was verified against Ptcg MCP's own documentation before publication; SyncDev keeps the directory reviewed rather than auto-generated.

Worth knowing first

  • It runs with your machine's permissions. That is convenient and also the reason to think about what you point it at before you approve a tool call.
  • Keep per-call confirmation enabled while you learn its behaviour; it is the cheapest safeguard you have.
