Getting started

From a list of cards to a plan you can carry.

mgz-pkmn takes the cards you want, prices them against three open data sources, and hands back a spreadsheet, a printable binder, and your negotiation floor. Here's the whole loop, start to finish.

Two ways in

Same engine either way. Pick the one that fits how you like to work.

  • Easiest

    Open the web app

    Nothing to install. Swipe through cards one at a time, walk a whole set, or paste a wishlist into Search — same pricing pipeline as the CLI, in the browser.

    Open the live demo →
  • For the terminal

    Run the CLI

    Prefer the command line? Point pkmn at a text file of cards you want and it writes the spreadsheet, binder, and checklist next to it.

    Read the CLI reference →

On the CLI it's one command: ./pkmn lookup wants.txt

The loop, in four steps

Paste, look up, read the comps, export. Same four whether you're in the browser or the terminal.

  1. 01

    Paste your wishlist

    Plain text, one card per line. Name a single card, or use a shortcut to pull a whole group. Set filters and budgets live on the same line.

    The five priciest Charizards from Base Set.

  2. 02

    Run the lookup

    Hit Look up and the pricing runs card by card against three open data sources. A determinate bar tracks it the whole way — no spinner that lies about being almost done.

    Pricing 3 of 12…

    You always know how far along it is.

  3. 03

    Read the comps

    Each card lands with its market price plus four negotiation comps — 80%, 85%, 90%, and 95% of market. That's your floor and your ceiling before you ever open your mouth at the table.

    Market $240 · 80% $192 · 85% $204 · 90% $216 · 95% $228

    Walk in knowing what's fair and what's a steal.

  4. 04

    Export what you'll carry

    Take it out in whatever shape fits the day — a spreadsheet for live reference, a printable binder page to hand a vendor, a checklist to tick off as you find cards, or raw JSON to pipe somewhere else.

    .xlsx · 3×3 binder PDF · checklist · JSON

    Four formats, one lookup.
