Description

search_cards

Search Magic: The Gathering (MTG) cards using Scryfall's powerful query syntax (e.g. "c:red type:dragon", "set:neo rarity:mythic", "o:flying cmc<=3"). Returns matching MTG cards with names, types, oracle text, sets, rarities, and prices.

get_card

Look up a single Magic: The Gathering (MTG) card by name (fuzzy matching). Returns full card details including mana cost, oracle text, colors, prices, legalities, and image.

random_card

Get a random Magic: The Gathering (MTG) card, optionally filtered by a Scryfall query (e.g. "is:commander", "c:blue").

list_sets

List all Magic: The Gathering (MTG) sets/expansions with codes, names, types, release dates, and card counts.

Quick Start

Add to your MCP client (Claude Desktop, Cursor, Windsurf, etc.):

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "scryfall": {
      "url": "https://gateway.pipeworx.io/scryfall/mcp"
    }
  }
}

What this endpoint actually serves

tools/list at https://gateway.pipeworx.io/scryfall/mcp returns the tools in the table above plus the shared Pipeworx meta-toolsask_pipeworx, discover_tools, search_within, remember/recall and the rest of the gateway-wide set. So the tool count you see is larger than this table: a single-pack endpoint currently lists roughly 30 shared tools alongside the pack's own. The connection's initialize response states its exact scope, and is the authoritative answer for a given day.

This is deliberate, not multiplexing by accident. The meta-tools are what let a scoped connection answer a question this pack does not cover — via ask_pipeworx, which routes across the whole catalog — without you adding a second MCP server. There is currently no way to mount a pack endpoint without them; if the extra schemas cost you more context than the routing is worth, connect to the full gateway once rather than to several pack endpoints.

Or connect to the full Pipeworx gateway to get every pack's tools listed directly, instead of just this one's:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "pipeworx": {
      "url": "https://gateway.pipeworx.io/mcp"
    }
  }
}

Both URLs reach the same gateway and the same 1476+ data sources. The only difference is which pack's tools are listed directly; ask_pipeworx reaches all of them from either one.

Using with ask_pipeworx

Instead of calling tools directly, you can ask questions in plain English — this works on the pack endpoint above as well as on the full gateway:

ask_pipeworx({ question: "your question about Scryfall data" })

The gateway picks the right tool and fills the arguments automatically.
