Valo.IA (ValoTCG) — questions

Answers built from our own checks of this server.

What can Valo.IA (ValoTCG) do?

It exposes 16 tools, read directly from the server on our last check. Among them: compare_prices, edition_overview, get_card, get_card_prices, get_cards_batch, get_price_history and 10 more. The full list with descriptions is on this page — we take it from the server itself via tools/list, not from a README. How MCP servers expose tools in the first place →

What is Valo.IA (ValoTCG) mostly used for?

Its tools cluster around card, cards and price. That is what this server is built to work with — the grouping comes from the actual tool names, not from a category we assigned.

Is Valo.IA (ValoTCG) working right now?

We send a real MCP handshake every 15 minutes. Over the last 24 hours 89 of 91 checks got a reply (97.8%), average response time 208 ms. The bar chart above shows every period we have measured.

The registry lists Valo.IA (ValoTCG) as active — why does it not respond?

The official MCP registry stores what the author submitted; it does not verify that the server still runs. We check the endpoint ourselves, and this one does not answer. Catalogues that copy the registry without checking will show it as working.

How do I connect Valo.IA (ValoTCG)?

Copy the ready config from this page. We generate it for Claude Code, Claude Desktop, Codex, Cursor and VS Code, each in the form that client actually reads. It is a remote server, so there is nothing to install — the client connects to the address.

Does Valo.IA (ValoTCG) need an API key?

No. Valo.IA (ValoTCG) completed a full MCP handshake with us as an anonymous client and listed its tools without asking for anything. All 16 of them are readable on this page. This is what we observed, not what the docs claim.

How fast is Valo.IA (ValoTCG)?

It answers our handshake in 208 ms on average, which is faster than 70% of all working MCP servers we measure. The comparison comes from our own checks across the whole registry, every 15 minutes.

Is Valo.IA (ValoTCG) open source?

The code is open source: it is published under the MIT licence and 0 stars on GitHub. The licence covers the code in the repository, not the hosted service at api.valotcg.com, which runs on its operator's own terms.
