Overview
PokeClaude is an MCP server (and Claude Code plugin) that gives Claude access to the full Pokémon TCG Pocket card pool (2,077 cards including art variants, 1,068 unique) backed by an in-memory DuckDB so SQL queries against the catalogue are instant. Claude uses it to search, score synergies, propose 20-card decks, and look up the current meta.
Features
- 7 MCP tools: search, filter, analyze, find synergies, find counters, deckbuild, meta
- Full card database (2,077 cards / 1,068 unique once art variants are deduped)
- DuckDB query engine; everything stays in-memory
- 20-card deck construction with energy and trainer balance
- Tier lists and usage stats from current meta data
Claude Code Plugin
Four slash commands ship with the plugin:
/pokemon:build-deck: build a 20-card deck around a chosen Pokémon or strategy/pokemon:analyze: analyse a card’s stats and matchups/pokemon:find-counters: find counters to a deck or archetype/pokemon:meta: current tier list and meta breakdown
Technology Stack
- TypeScript MCP server (stdio transport)
- DuckDB for in-memory queries against the card data
- Web scraper that auto-refreshes the card data
- Claude Code plugin framework
- Distributed via npm /
bunx
How It Works
Install via npm or bunx and add the server to your Claude config. On startup it loads the card data into DuckDB and exposes the tools listed above. Claude calls them when you ask deck-building or meta questions.
