Where every query lands.

Research outcomes

The AI processes your requests into these specific data points.

SET LISTS

Expansion set names

The AI pulls a full list of available expansion sets. You get a clean list of names to choose from.

RARITY DATA

Specific rarity tiers

The AI identifies every rarity level within a chosen set. This helps you see if a card is a Common, Holo, or Secret Rare.

SET DETAILS

Individual set info

The AI fetches deep data for a single expansion. You'll see the specific structure of that set's rarities.

HUMAN CHECK

Physical card verification

The AI provides the data, but you must check the physical card in hand. You'll use the AI's rarity list to confirm what you're holding.

FAQ

How this task behaves

  • 01

    Can the AI tell me the current market price of a card?

    No. This MCP only provides set names, set details, and rarity levels.

  • 02

    Can the AI add new cards to the database?

    No. The AI can only read existing data from the Pokemon TCG sets and rarities.

  • 03

    Can I ask for a specific card by its name?

    The AI can find the set and the rarity tiers, but it does not have a tool to search for individual card names.

  • 04

    Does the AI know if my specific card is authentic?

    No. The AI provides the official rarity data, but you must perform the physical inspection yourself.

  • 05

    Can the AI list all sets from a specific year?

    The AI can list the sets, and you can then ask it to filter or identify which ones belong to a specific era based on the returned list.
