xby-gathering-card-lookup-service

You are deep in a conversation, mid-workflow, and you suddenly need to verify a Magic card mana cost, rules text, or rarity — only to realize you have to open a new tab, load an external site, wait for it to render, and switch back. xby-gathering-card-lookup-service pulls that kind of lookup right back into the chat window. Built on the Model Context Protocol, it lets you query Chinese-language MTG card data in the same place your prompt lives, without leaving the session or manually copying information from a browser.

The capabilities span three levels: precise single-card retrieval by set code and collector number; expressive combined search with a query syntax covering card type, color identity, power, toughness, mana value, and text keywords — plus pagination and multi-field sorting; and set-level browsing that lists every MTG set or expands a single set into its full card roster. The query grammar stays close to everyday language, so t:creature c:r gets you red creatures, mv<=3 filters low-cost cards, and you can pair keyword inclusion with color exclusion in the same clause. The learning curve is essentially flat.

There is also a playful hzls tool: feed it a sentence and it composes an image by laying out individual card illustrations letter by letter, turning a data lookup into a small visual experiment. This plugin is aimed at MTG players, card collectors, and developers who need programmatic card access inside a DSJ workflow. Once you register and drop in your API key, every card question is one prompt away, and the friction of juggling browser tabs simply disappears.
