Configuration

View docs

You can run and use a Model Context Protocol (MCP) server that implements Chico & Dico’s card trick. It exposes two practical connection methods (stdio for local calls and SSE for remote calls) and provides two core tools to encode and decode the hidden fifth card. This lets you integrate the card trick logic into your MCP-enabled agents or workflows with simple, reliable endpoints.

How to use

Choose your preferred connection method and wire it into your MCP client. You can run the server locally and call it via stdio, or expose it remotely via SSE for remote clients.

How to install

Prerequisites: make sure Python is installed to use the pip-based installation, or use Node-based tooling if you are installing through Smithery.

Manual installation (Python/pip): You install the Python package from PyPI.

pip install card-magic-mcp

Additional setup and usage notes

Smithery provides an automated path to install Card Magic MCP Server for Claude Desktop. Use the client tooling to install with Smithery if you prefer a GUI-assisted setup.

npx -y @smithery/cli@latest install @luochang212/card-magic-mcp --client claude

Available tools

encode_cards

Encode a set of 5 cards by arranging the first four cards to hide the information about the fifth card.

decode_cards

Decode the hidden fifth card by interpreting the arrangement of the first four visible cards.
