Context tax

Connecting this server adds ~2,604 tokens of tool definitions to every model turn (moderate, 12 tools). Measured 2026-10-19 via its hosted endpoint; o200k tokenizer, worst case for clients that load all tools up front. How we measure

Input prices as of 2026-10-06. Excludes your own prompt and output.

Tools (12)

• get_price_history335 tok

  Read daily EUR observations for an approved stored variant, independently of its current price. UTC window ends on to or today. Read coverage and preserve missing_dates; never interpolate. Use earlier to dates for older windows. One admitted API call consumes one shared account request, including admitted errors. No automatic retries.

• get_card_image278 tok

  Return verified WebP artwork as an MCP image block, with request metadata. Use the ID and query fields from images.small/large; catv_ source variants require their parent catalogue_card_id. Optional face selects a Magic face. Never pass an arbitrary image URL. One admitted API call consumes one shared account request, including admitted errors. No automatic retries.

• search_cards267 tok

  Find variant candidates across six games, even without a current price. Returns stable tcg_ IDs, identifying fields, pricing availability and next_cursor. Use view=full to compare printed_number and finish_details. Preserve separate printings; choose an exact candidate before requesting prices. One admitted API call consumes one shared account request, including admitted errors. No automatic retries.

• search_catalogue_cards257 tok

  Search the price-independent Japanese Pokémon source catalogue, including cards with no price-variant match. cat_ identifies a source card; catv_ identifies a source variant. Use pricing.price_variants[].id (tcg_) for prices, never guess a bridge. One admitted API call consumes one shared account request, including admitted errors. No automatic retries.

• list_catalogue_sets207 tok

  Search Japanese Pokémon source sets and paginate with the returned next_cursor. Returns catalogue set IDs to use with search_catalogue_cards. A set record is a catalogue membership, not proof of one physical printing. One admitted API call consumes one shared account request, including admitted errors. No automatic retries.

• batch_prices192 tok

  Read EUR prices for mixed-game tcg_ IDs in one request. Starter/Growth allow 100 supplied IDs, Scale 200, before deduplication. Preserve unavailable_ids separately from successful results. Never split or retry automatically. One admitted API call consumes one shared account request, including admitted errors. No automatic retries.

• get_card_prices170 tok

  Compatibility alias of get_prices. Read measured EUR prices for one exact variant, with observed_at and quote scope. Null is unknown, never zero. Product guides do not filter condition, language or edition. One admitted API call consumes one shared account request, including admitted errors. No automatic retries.

• get_card163 tok

  Read stored variant metadata and pricing availability without requiring a fresh quote. Includes game fields and image paths. Use get_card_image to return the artwork as an MCP image block. One admitted API call consumes one shared account request, including admitted errors. No automatic retries.

• get_prices163 tok

  Read measured EUR prices for one exact variant, with observed_at and quote scope. Null is unknown, never zero. Product guides do not filter condition, language or edition. One admitted API call consumes one shared account request, including admitted errors. No automatic retries.

• get_catalogue_card151 tok

  Read one Japanese source card, variants, provenance and explicit pricing references. Only use returned tcg_ price-variant IDs for price tools. One admitted API call consumes one shared account request, including admitted errors. No automatic retries.

• get_usage117 tok

  Read account request usage and limits, shared across keys and games. This call counts itself and cannot bypass exhausted limits. Check request metadata on existing results first. Published-plan upgrade suggestions link to the owner's account page and activate after Stripe confirms payment. Custom access requires a separate agreement and manual activation. One admitted API call consumes one shared account request, including admitted errors. No automatic retries.

• list_games62 tok

  List the six supported game identifiers and catalogue languages. Static API capabilities, no API request or account usage.
