FAQ

Agent access (either subscription tier) lets you run your whole collection by talking to Claude — log cards, edit, sell, build decks, fill your watchlist — instead of tapping through the UI. Set it up on the agent page in three steps:

1. Mint a personal API token — shown once, scoped to your account, revocable anytime.
2. Connect Claude. In Claude Code it's one command (first-class tools over MCP); or copy the ready-made prompt from the agent page into any Claude chat that can make HTTP requests.
3. Then just talk: "log OP01-001 PSA 10 for $500 basis", "what am I holding and what did I pay?", "add these to my watchlist" — it lands in your portfolio here the moment Claude confirms.

The full walkthrough and the copy-paste prompt live on the agent page.

It creates your page at texttcg.com/u/your-username. On its own it shows: your username, any social handles you chose to fill in on your profile (X, Instagram, TikTok), and a couple of counts. No cards — the collection switch below controls that separately. The page is built from your username, and picking one comes with a subscription.

The cards you own that are matched to the catalog: their names and official catalog art only. Your own photos are never shown to anyone — the public page doesn't even load them — and unmatched cards aren't shown at all. While this switch is off, visitors read "this collector keeps their cards private."

Your photos, what you paid (cost basis), what you sold for, your notes, your tags, your phone number, your email, and your message history. None of these are ever rendered on a public page.

Personal organization. Tags are little badges you put on cards ("grail", "for trade"…) and can filter your portfolio by; notes are free text on a card's page. Both are visible only to you.

Texting the bot to log cards — by text or photo — is a subscriber feature ($4.99/mo, or $19.99 for more monthly usage), and so are agent access, the watchlist, consignment tracking, and claiming a username — the name your public page and referral link are built from. Managing a collection on the web — the portfolio (tags, notes, asking prices), CSV import and export, and your shopping list — is free.

You, and texttcg's admins/engineering team (for support and moderation — like investigating a scan you reported as wrong). That's the whole list. Photos are stored privately and served through authenticated, time-limited links — never shown to other users, never on public profiles, not reachable at a plain URL. You can delete any photo permanently from its card's page ("delete my photo"); the entry keeps its catalog art.
