MCP server for interacting with the Scryfall MTG API
Nothing to run from here
MTG Bench is installed from its publisher's own source and answers where it runs, so this marketplace is not in the path of a single call. There is no address here to send one to, and a panel that pretended otherwise would be showing you an answer we made up. Install it and call it from your own client — the Installation tab has the entry for each one.

What it does
Magic: The Gathering card search, rules, rulings, deck analysis, brackets, and combo detection.
Quickstart
# 1 — add it to Claude Code
claude mcp add --scope user --transport http mtg-bench-mcp https://mtgbench.com/mcp
# 2 — ask your agent for something these tools do
# check_deck_legality, commander_staples, deck_stats and 16 more
MTG Bench costs nothing on mcprush: there is no plan to choose here, no cap to set and nothing mcprush can bill you for.

Installation
Where are you running it?
Every route below installs the same thing and ends at the same approval screen. Nothing here runs on your machine and nothing runs on ours: this server answers at its publisher’s own address, and what you install is the connection straight to it.
Claude Codedeclared by this listing
This is a public server: it answers at its publisher’s own address and this marketplace is not in the path. Claude Code registers it in one command; --scope user makes it available in every project. The transport below is http, as the publisher's own manifest declares it.
claude mcp add --scope user --transport http mtg-bench-mcp https://mtgbench.com/mcpReconnect, or start a new session, and the tools appear in the model’s tool list.
Free on mcprush, and it answers at its publisher’s own address: this marketplace is not in the path, so there is no key of ours to hold and no card to add.
What it writes
One config entry pointing straight at the publisher’s own address — this marketplace is not in the path, and nothing from this listing executes on your machine.

19 tools, with what each one reads, writes and reaches shown before you agree — the same list on every route above. Read the tool surface.
Tool surface
What the model actually sees. Descriptions are diffed on every release — see version history.
Validate a decklist against a constructed format's rules (banned cards, deck size, copy limits, and in Commander the color-identity rule). Use this rather than recalling ban lists from memory: bans changed four times in 2026 alone, and a model's training cutoff makes stale ban data one of the most common wrong answers in Magic. Pass commander for Commander decks: it counts toward the 100, and it

The cards most commonly played with a given commander, from EDHREC's aggregate inclusion data: 691,958 commander-card pairings across 2,631 commanders. Returns each card's deck count, the share of that commander's decks running it, and its synergy score. Synergy matters as much as popularity: a high deck count with LOW synergy is a card everyone plays anyway (Sol Ring), while high synergy is a car

Deterministic statistical analysis of a decklist (any format): mana curve with creature split, card types, color pips vs mana sources, functional buckets (ramp/draw/removal/wipes/counters/recursion/protection/tutors + bracket signals) with typical Commander bands, opening-hand probabilities (hypergeometric), a suggested land count, meta brew score, deck price, tribal and keyword counts. Pure data

Detect known combos in a decklist using Commander Spellbook's curated database — combos fully present, plus near-misses one card away (with that card's price). Pass format (and commander for Commander) so near-miss suggestions are filtered to legal, in-color-identity adds. Use this instead of recalling combos from memory; also feeds rate_deck's compact-combo check.

Given one or more cards the user ALREADY has, find cards that work with them. Seeded by example rather than by description: pass the cards, get partners. Use semantic_card_search instead to describe a desired effect in words, and search_cards for structured filters. limit defaults to 10 and caps at 100 per call.

Fetch full detail for ONE card by exact name or id: oracle text, mana cost, type line, format legalities, and a brief summary of its printings. Use get_card_printings instead when the complete printing list matters (choosing a specific art, set, or finish).

| name | string | no | — |
| id | string | no | — |
| slug | string | no | — |
Fetch a card's image. The returned image content block IS the display — the client renders it directly; do not build custom HTML/widgets around the imageUrl, since sandboxed widget environments block external image hosts. Optionally pick a specific printing (setCode) or size (small, normal, large, png, art_crop, border_crop, or WEBP: thumb, grid, display).

| name | string | no | — |
| id | string | no | — |

| version | string | no | — |
List EVERY printing of a card (set, rarity, artist, finish, collector number). get_card already returns a short printings summary, so reach for this only when the full list is the point.

Fetch the OFFICIAL Wizards rulings for one card, with their dates. These are Wizards' own answers to the corner cases players argue about. Use this for any "how does this card actually work" question, and quote the ruling rather than paraphrasing from memory — rulings are among the most frequently hallucinated things in Magic. Use search_rules instead for general mechanics not tied to a specific c
| Parameter | Type | Required | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| name | string | yes | — |
Fetch a Comprehensive Rules entry and its lettered subrules by exact number (e.g. "601.2" returns 601.2 and 601.2a-i). Use after search_rules to read a rule's full context.
| Parameter | Type | Required | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| ref | string | yes | — |
Summarize the user's imported collection: how many distinct cards, total copies, and where it was imported from. This is the SUMMARY only. Use search_my_collection to look up individual owned cards, and what_can_i_build to rank commanders they could assemble. Requires a free API key (send it as "X-API-Key: <key>" or "Authorization: Bearer <key>").
No parameter schema on file.
Assess a Commander deck's official WotC bracket (1-5). Returns deterministic signals (Game Changers from WotC's curated list, mass land denial, tutors, fast mana, free interaction), a bracket FLOOR from the official decision tree, and the rubric — then YOU finish the assessment: check for compact two-card win combos and weigh soft signals per the assessmentGuidance, and state the final bracket wit

Check whether card names are REAL, in bulk. Returns exact / not_found per name, with the canonical spelling and id for the ones that exist. Call this reflexively before presenting any decklist or card recommendation you generated: the most common failure in Magic assistance is confidently naming cards that do not exist, or that exist with different text. Cheap, batched, and safe to call on every c

Find cards by NAME or by structured filters (colors, color identity, types, mana value, format legality, sets). Use when the query can be expressed as filters: "red instants under 3 mana", "legendary artifacts in Standard", "cards named Bolt". Use semantic_card_search instead when the user describes an EFFECT rather than a filter ("cards that make a treasure when I attack"). Use find_synergies ins

Search only the cards the user OWNS, by name, colors, or type. Set notInDecks to surface owned cards not currently used in any of their decks (the "what is sitting idle in my binder" question). Use search_cards instead to search every Magic card regardless of ownership. Returns at most 100 owned cards per call, with the full match count in total.

Semantic search over the Magic Comprehensive Rules, glossary, and 84k card-specific rulings. Use for any rules/interaction question; answer FROM the returned chunks and cite rule numbers (e.g. 601.2a). Filter kinds to ["ruling"] for card-specific questions or ["rule","glossary"] for general mechanics.

Vector search over card TEXT, for describing an effect that cannot be written as a filter: "cards that make a token when I attack", "punish opponents for drawing", "does what Rhystic Study does but cheaper". This is a query Scryfall syntax cannot express. Use search_cards instead for structured filters (color, type, mana value, set). Use find_synergies instead when the user names specific cards an

Suggest priced deck upgrades: cards to add (within an optional budget) and cards to cut. TWO-PHASE: first call WITHOUT strategy to get a deck analysis and instructions for deriving the deck's strategy; then call again WITH your derived strategy to get recommendations. Cuts are theme-alignment suggestions relative to the stated strategy, not card-quality judgments. Prices are Card Kingdom/TCGpl

Given the user's imported card collection, rank the Commander decks they can most nearly build right now, with the most-played cards they are still missing. Answers "what should I sleeve up tonight" from cards they physically have. Requires a free API key (send it as "X-API-Key: <key>" or "Authorization: Bearer <key>") so the server knows whose collection to read; one is issued instantly at https:

Two independent axes, because powerful and malicious are different questions. The grade is threat only. The capability level is blast radius, and it is never a penalty on the grade — it is priced as one subtract-only term in the score, where you can see it.
This listing is an address its publisher runs, and you connect to it directly — this marketplace is not in the path. The scanner reads packages and public source, and an address is neither. So there is no grade — not a withheld one, an unmeasured one.

This is an address its publisher runs: which release it serves is theirs to choose, so there is nothing here to pin. The history below is for reading; the current release on file is 0.52.2.

Any signed-in account that does not publish MTG Bench can review it, once — before installing it or after. A review from an account that has installed it is marked as one.
No reviews yet
Nobody has reviewed this listing. The rating on the card is the mean of the reviews written here and nothing else, so there is no rating until somebody writes the first — which takes a signed-in account that does not publish it, and nothing else.
