Usage

The server can be run in two modes:

Standard stdio mode (default)
Server-Sent Events (SSE) mode with HTTP endpoints

Using NPX

If you have Node.js installed locally:

# Stdio mode
npx scryfall-mcp-server

# SSE mode
npx scryfall-mcp-server --sse

Connecting to the Server

Stdio Mode

Your application or environment (like Claude Desktop) can communicate directly via stdio with the server.

SSE Mode

When running in SSE mode (with --sse), you can connect using the MCP CLI:

npx @wong2/mcp-cli --sse http://localhost:3000/sse

The server will be available at:

SSE endpoint: http://localhost:3000/sse
Message endpoint: http://localhost:3000/messages

Integration in claude_desktop_config.json

Example snippet for stdio mode:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "scryfall": {
      "command": "docker",
      "args": ["run", "-i", "--rm", "mcp/scryfall"]
    }
  }
}

Or with npx:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "scryfall": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": ["scryfall-mcp-server"]
    }
  }
}

Building from Docker

docker build -t mcp/scryfall .

Then you can run in stdio mode:

docker run -i --rm mcp/scryfall

Or in SSE mode:

docker run -i --rm -p 3000:3000 mcp/scryfall --sse
