CollectHolo uses MCP, short for Model Context Protocol, to let ChatGPT and Claude work with your collection. Connect ChatGPT or Claude, sign in to CollectHolo, then ask about your portfolio in plain language. MCP access is a PRO feature.
Be specific when a card could have several versions. Including the game, set, collector number, print, language, condition, or grade gives the assistant the best chance of finding the right item.
If your AI client can read a spreadsheet, you can attach or paste a list and ask it to add the items to your CollectHolo collection. This works well for smaller batches and for filling in gaps as you go.
Include at least a card name and set, and the game if it is not Pokémon. Collector number, quantity, condition, language, grade, purchase price, currency, and purchase date all make the result more accurate and help preserve your cost basis.
For a one-time import with thousands of rows, use the CSV and spreadsheet importer on the site. It is built for large files and gives you a dedicated review step before anything is saved.
Add the following URL when ChatGPT or Claude asks for an MCP server. When it asks how to authenticate, choose OAuth, sign in on collectholo.com, then select Allow.
https://www.collectholo.com/api/mcpOnly ChatGPT and Claude can be connected. Each app keeps one connection; connecting it again replaces the previous one. Connecting your own or third-party apps, bots or scripts is not allowed under our Terms of Use.
Custom apps are available only on eligible ChatGPT plans and workspaces. In ChatGPT, open Settings, then Apps or Connectors. Enable developer mode if your workspace shows that option, create a custom app called CollectHolo, and enter the MCP server URL above. Choose OAuth when prompted and complete the CollectHolo sign-in.
In Claude or Claude Desktop, open Settings, then Connectors, and choose Add custom connector. Paste the MCP server URL, connect, and finish the CollectHolo OAuth sign-in. You can also start from Claude's connector settings.
