Nothing serious here today

Today is the operative word: we check TCG MCP every 15 minutes and re-read its code on every release. Watch it and you find out the day that stops being true.

This server runs on your own machine — install it with the package manager and the client starts it for you. Package name taken from the official registry entry.

This one needs environment variables set before it will start: PSA_API_TOKEN (PSA Public API bearer token. Get one at https://www.psacard.com/publicapi. If unset, PSA tools are disabled but other tools (Pokemon TCG API, collection, watchlist) still work.), POKEMONTCG_API_KEY (Pokemon TCG API key (optional). Without it the provider still works at a lower rate limit. Free key: https://dev.pokemontcg.io/), PRICECHARTING_TOKEN (PriceCharting API token (paid subscription required). Enables graded-card pricing.), TCG_DB_PATH (Where to put the local SQLite database. Default: ~/.tcg-mcp/tcg.db). The author declared them in the registry entry; get the values from the project itself.

TCG MCP — questions

Answers built from our own checks of this server.

Why is there no uptime for TCG MCP?
TCG MCP runs on your own machine over stdio — there is no network address to reach, so uptime cannot be measured for it by anyone. What can be measured is adoption: the pypi package tcg-mcp was installed 78 times last week.
How do I connect TCG MCP?
Copy the ready config from this page — we generate it for Claude Code, Claude Desktop, Codex, Cursor and VS Code, each with the file path that client actually reads. It runs locally, so the command pulls tcg-mcp straight from pypi; nothing to host, nothing to sign up for.
How many people use TCG MCP?
The pypi package tcg-mcp was installed 78 times in the last week. Week over week that is -10%. We show installs rather than GitHub stars on purpose: a star is a bookmark, an install is someone actually running it.
Is TCG MCP open source?
Yes — it is published under the MIT licence, written in Python, 1 stars on GitHub and 2 open issues. The source link is on this page, so you can read exactly what it does with your data before you connect it.
