Mythic Index MCP Server

Magic: The Gathering card prices, deck analysis, and investment intelligence — powered by live data from 5 vendors covering 99K+ cards.

Connect this MCP server to Claude Desktop, Claude Code, or any MCP-compatible AI assistant to get real-time MTG card pricing, deck cost analysis, sealed product EV calculations, and investment insights.

What You Can Do

Ask about prices:

"What's the current price of Sheoldred, the Apocalypse?"

Build decks on a budget:

"Find me black creatures with deathtouch under $5 legal in Modern"

Price a full decklist:

"Price this deck: 4 Lightning Bolt, 4 Goblin Guide, 20 Mountain — check Modern legality"

Evaluate sealed products:

"Is the Modern Horizons 3 Collector Booster Box worth buying at $280?"

Track investments:

"What cards spiked this week? Show me Reserved List cards under $50"

Understand strategy:

"What role does Counterspell play? Find me blue counter spells for Commander under $3"

A3.5/5.0

Scored 2026-07-07 13:31 across 21 tools

Disambiguation5/5

All tools have clearly distinct purposes. Search tools differ by query type (fuzzy name, complex filters, browsing, role-based). Analysis tools (mana curve, deck pricing, card evaluation) are distinct. Pricing, legality, rules, sealed, and market tools are also well-separated.

Naming Consistency4/5

Most tools follow a verb_noun pattern (e.g., analyze_mana_curve, get_card_price). A few deviate (reserved_list_tracker, top_movers) but are still understandable. No mixed conventions like camelCase, so overall consistent.

Tool Count5/5

21 tools cover a broad MTG domain: card searching, pricing, deck analysis, rules, sealed products, market data. Each tool serves a clear need without redundancy. The count is well-scoped for a comprehensive index server.

Completeness5/5

The tool set covers all major aspects: card discovery (multiple methods), pricing and history, deck building (curve, budget swaps), legality, rules, sealed product EV, and market opportunities. No obvious gaps for the intended functionality.
