Pack: tarot · Connect: https://pipeworx.io/mcp (see Connect below for a single-pack URL)

No MCP client? Call it directly: GET https://gateway.pipeworx.io/v1/tools/draw_cards for the schema, then POST the same URL with its arguments for the data.

Draws a spread of 1–78 random cards from the Pipeworx original tarot deck (Rider–Waite–Smith tradition), each with its own orientation and traditional meaning for that orientation.

Parameters

Name	Type	Required	Description
`count`	number	yes	Number of cards to draw (1–78).
`seed`	string	no	Reproduce a previous draw by passing back the seed it returned. Omit for fresh randomness.
`reversals`	boolean	no	Allow reversed orientation (50% chance per card). Default true; pass false to always draw upright.
`session_id`	string	no	Draw from an open tarot_shuffle session instead of a fresh single-call draw (hosted only; never repeats a card within the session).
