Love Oracle — Tarot

Love Oracle Tarot Dataset & MCP Server

All 78 Rider–Waite–Smith tarot cards with love and relationship keywords in 22 languages, plus arcana, suit, element and yes/no polarity — as a JSON file and as an MCP server that runs offline over it. No signup, free to use commercially under CC BY 4.0.

curl -O https://www.loveoracle.app/dataset/love-tarot.json

MCP server

Three read-only tools, zero dependencies, zero network calls — everything is answered from the JSON file in this repository.

{  "mcpServers": {    "love-oracle-tarot": {      "command": "npx",      "args": ["-y", "love-oracle-tarot"]    }  }}

Or from a clone — it needs nothing installed:

node server.js

Or in Docker:

docker build -t love-oracle-tarot . && docker run -i --rm love-oracle-tarot

Want the long-form interpretations too? They are not in the dataset and so are not served here. What a card says as someone's feelings, what it means about an ex, and the answers to the most-asked love questions live on the site — reachable through the hosted MCP server at https://www.loveoracle.app/api/mcp (Streamable HTTP, no auth), listed in the official registry as app.loveoracle/tarot.

Public tarot datasets exist. Every one we could find is English-only. This one carries 1,716 keyword pairs across en, es, pt, fr, de, it, nl, da, no, fi, pl, hu, tr, ru, ja, ko, zh, zh-TW, th, vi, id, hi — the part nobody wants to redo.

Two honest caveats

• These keywords are written for love and relationship questions, not general divination. A career-focused app will want different phrasing.
• The 21 non-English languages were machine-translated from the English source and have not been reviewed by native speakers. Structure and coverage are reliable — zero missing rows, zero silent fallbacks to English. Idiom in Thai and Vietnamese may not be. Corrections welcome: open an issue or mail [email protected].

What is not in here

The long-form interpretations — what each card means as someone's feelings, what it says about an ex, the FAQs — stay on the card pages. This repository is the compact factual layer.

Maintained alongside Love Oracle, an AI tarot reader for love questions. If you build something with this, we would like to see it.
