What's new in Silvane MCP 0.11.1: any language, any currency
Every price names its currency, cards are found by the name printed on them, and a card in another language is saved and priced as the printing you hold.
Silvane MCP 0.11.1 is the fourth release since 0.8.0, and the four cover two things: money and language. Your assistant now names the currency of every amount, converts to yours, and handles cards in any language the way the Silvane app does. It finds them by the name printed on them, saves them as the printing you hold, and marks a price that comes from the English printing.
Each section below shows a real question asked to Claude on a Silvane account, and the answer it got.
Prices in your currency
Every answer with prices names their source and currency: "that's the Star City Games retail price, in dollars". Amounts stay in the store's currency, euros on Cardmarket. With a display currency picked, the answer also carries today's rate to it and the rate's date.
You can type an amount in another currency. It is converted once at today's rate, and the answer shows both amounts:
A filter in yen, on a collection priced in dollars.
The same works in alerts ("alert me under 200 quetzales") and in moves ("move every card over 3,000 yen to my trade binder").
A sale or purchase is written in one currency, your display currency by default, and every read of it says which. Sales, purchases and the Ledger's summary add up per currency. Orders in more than one currency also get a total converted to yours, marked approximate, instead of adding dollars to euros. See prices through MCP.
Adrian spent twenty years building software for companies around the world, and still, his favorite day of the week is Thursday, because Thursday is Commander night. Silvane started as the collection tracker he built for his own cards, one Thursday at a time. He writes about the market with the same data that powers the app.
Your assistant finds a card by any name it carries: the English name, the name printed on it, and its flavor name, ignoring case and accents. "Großer Coup", "grosser coup" and "Big Score" all find the German Big Score. That holds in the catalog and in your own cards: binders, lists, decks, the Tray, the watchlist, alerts and the Ledger.
A Spanish name, found in a list.
Every card in every answer says which printing it is. A printing in another language carries its language and printed name, in full and compact answers. Your assistant can tell a Spanish copy from an English one, sort a binder by printed name, or build a CSV with both names.
A name printed exactly that way comes first, even when English cards hold the word: "Relámpago" is the Spanish Lightning Bolt, not Lightning Greaves. When a search of your binders and tracked decks finds nothing, the answer says that lists and untracked decks were not searched, so your assistant knows where to look next.
Saved as the printing you hold
Name a card by its printed name, or with a language ("Big Score in German"), and it is saved as a printing in that language. That works in a binder or list, the Tray, a deck, the watchlist and alerts, and a sale or purchase line. Silvane picks the printing by your rule (the one you own, the cheapest or the newest) among that card's printings in that language. A printing Silvane's catalog did not hold yet is added from Scryfall first.
Three languages in one request, each saved as its own printing.
The binder got a German Big Score, a Japanese Sol Ring and a French Cultivate, each tagged with its language.
A card that was never printed in that language keeps the printing found, records the language, and the answer gives the reason ("this card has no printing in Korean"). A new language on a Tray row, or on a sale or purchase line, moves it to that language's printing of the same set and number. Commanders, partners, covers and companions take a language too.
Prices for cards in other languages
Stores rarely price a card printed in another language. When TCGplayer, Card Kingdom, Mana Pool or Star City Games has no price for that printing, Silvane shows the same store's price for the English printing, same set and number. Your assistant says so in every answer that shows a price: searches, binders and decks, the Tray, the watchlist, comparisons and Silvane links. Cardmarket has one price per printing for every language, so its price is never marked.
A Japanese Sol Ring at five stores, with the borrowed prices named.
Alerts. "What alerts do I have?" gets the count by status, not only the watched cards.
Sale totals. Adding, editing or removing a sale or purchase line, or changing its shipping, fees or discount, answers with the order's new subtotal and total.
Your collection's movers. Every card you own, ranked by how its price moved over 24 hours or 7, 30 or 90 days.
What you paid. Binder and list reads return each copy's purchase price and the binder's total paid.
Price filters on the finish you hold. A card you own as a cheap normal no longer matches because its foil is expensive.
Pro or Free. "Is my account Pro or free?" gets an answer.
Companions. "Make Lurrus my companion" sets it, and the deck list names each deck's companion.
Secret Lair links. A drop, product or superdrop link answers with what the drop's page shows.
