Cardhop

Local macOS MCP server for Cardhop using documented Cardhop integration routes:

• AppleScript: tell application "Cardhop" to parse sentence "..."
• URL scheme: x-cardhop://parse?s=...

update is intentionally implemented as a freeform alias over parse (no undocumented routes).

Requirements

• macOS
• uv
• Python 3.13+

Install dependencies

uv sync

Run locally

uv run python app/server.py

Codex MCP client config (example)

Add this server block to your Codex config ($CODEX_HOME/config.toml, usually ~/.codex/config.toml):

[mcp_servers.cardhop]
enabled = true
command = "bash"
args = ["-lc", "cd /absolute/path/to/cardhop-mcp && PYTHONPATH=. uv run python app/server.py"]

Exposed MCP tools

• schema: returns the locked schema bundle (cardhop.mcp.tools.v1)
• parse: send a sentence to Cardhop (auto|applescript|url_scheme, optional add_immediately, dry_run)
• add: convenience wrapper for parse with add_immediately=true
• update: freeform update guidance over parse semantics
• healthcheck: local readiness status for Cardhop + transport commands

Update guidance

For best update behavior, use freeform instructions in this form:

• "<existing name> <changed fields>"
• Example: Jane Doe new email [email protected] mobile 555-123-4567
