iwantmymtg-mcp

An MCP server for I Want My MTG. Exposes IWMM's API as tools so Claude Desktop, Claude Code, Cursor, and other MCP clients can search Magic: The Gathering cards/sets and manage a user's collection conversationally.

Status: v0 scaffold. The set of tools below is the v1 surface; coverage will expand to match the API.

What you can do

  • Anonymous (no key): search cards, look up a card by set+number, get current prices and 30-day price history, list sets and their cards, list sealed products.

  • Authenticated (with an IWMM API key): list and update your inventory.

More authenticated tools (transactions, portfolio breakdowns, price alerts, notifications) are coming - see the project roadmap.

Install

Requires Node 20+.

npx iwantmymtg-mcp

(Until published to npm, use the local install instructions below.)

Claude Desktop

Add to claude_desktop_config.json (macOS: ~/Library/Application Support/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json; Windows: %APPDATA%\Claude\claude_desktop_config.json):

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "iwmm": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": ["-y", "iwantmymtg-mcp"],
      "env": {
        "IWMM_API_KEY": "iwm_live_..."
      }
    }
  }
}

IWMM_API_KEY is optional - read-only tools work without it. Create a key at https://iwantmymtg.net/user/api-keys.

Claude Code

Add to .mcp.json in your project (or ~/.claude/.mcp.json globally):

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "iwmm": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": ["-y", "iwantmymtg-mcp"],
      "env": { "IWMM_API_KEY": "iwm_live_..." }
    }
  }
}

Example prompts

  • "Search for Lightning Bolt printings and show me the cheapest one."

  • "What's the price history of Bloodbraid Elf from Modern Horizons 3?"

  • "Add 4 copies of Lightning Bolt LEA to my inventory."

  • "What sealed products are available for MH3?"
