Connect an AI assistant
Card-a-mon can be connected to an AI assistant such as Claude. Once it is, you can ask the assistant, in plain words, to work on your card games: it reads your projects and changes them the way you would in the editor.
Why you might want to
The editor is good at placing things on a card. It is slow at the parts of making a game that are really writing: a deck of 120 cards is 120 names, 120 rules texts and 120 pictures to find. That is the part an assistant is good at.
- Fill in a whole deck at once. “Here is my list of monsters with their stats — make a card for each, name at the top, stats at the bottom.”
- Rework text across every card. “Shorten every ability to fit two lines”, “use ‘exhaust’ instead of ‘tap’ everywhere”, “check the costs add up the way my rules say”.
- Make icons and frames. The assistant can draw simple SVG images — a sword icon, a coin, a card border — and put them straight into the project.
- Bring in artwork from the web. Give it a link to an image you are allowed to use, and Card-a-mon downloads it into the project.
- Try ideas without losing the original. Ask it to duplicate a project first, then change the copy.
You stay in the editor for what the editor is for: looking at the cards, nudging things into place, and generating the PDF.
How to connect
The address to give your assistant is:
https://www.cardamon.lt/mcpClaude (claude.ai or the desktop app): open Customize → Connectors, choose Add custom connector, and paste the address. Claude then sends you here to approve it.
Claude Code: run
claude mcp add --transport http cardamon https://www.cardamon.lt/mcpthen /mcp inside Claude Code to sign in.
Other assistants: any that can use a remote MCP server over HTTP with OAuth sign-in will work with the same address.
In every case you will be asked to sign in to Card-a-mon, with the usual email link if you are not signed in already, and then asked whether to let the assistant in. Nothing is shared until you say yes.
What it can and cannot do
A connected assistant can:
- list your projects, create new ones, rename and duplicate them;
- read a project's cards, fields and images;
- add, change, reorder and remove cards;
- add, move, restyle and remove text and image fields;
- add images from a link or as SVG it writes itself, and delete images.
It cannot delete a project, touch your account, or generate PDFs and PNGs — those stay in the editor. It can only ever reach the account that approved it.
While it is working
If you have the project open in the editor while the assistant changes it, the editor shows the changes within a few seconds. If you were editing at the same moment, Card-a-mon will not save over the assistant's work: it tells you the project changed elsewhere and asks you to reload. Likewise, if you edit while the assistant is in the middle of something, its change is refused and it reads the project again.
Privacy and disconnecting
What the assistant reads from your projects is sent to the company that runs it, under that company's terms — the same as anything else you show it. Card-a-mon gives it nothing beyond the projects in your account.
You can see every connected assistant, and disconnect any of them, on your account page. Disconnecting takes effect at once.
