Scryfall MCP App

What it does

Scryfall MCP App renders an interactive card viewer UI directly inside Claude Desktop. When you search for or fetch a Magic: The Gathering card, the app displays the full card image, mana cost with Scryfall SVG symbols, oracle text, set information, rarity, and pricing — all in a beautifully rendered panel. Non-UI hosts still receive a complete text fallback with all card details.

Key features

• Full-text search — Use Scryfall's powerful syntax (e.g., c:red t:creature cmc=3) to find any card
• Rich card viewer UI — Renders card images, mana symbol SVGs, oracle text, and metadata in an interactive panel
• Structured + text content — UI hosts get the visual card; non-UI hosts get a complete text summary
• Dual transport — Supports both stdio and streamable HTTP for flexible deployment
• One-click install — Download the .mcpb bundle and open in Claude Desktop for instant setup
