About

Cardcraft is a fully local business-card etiquette reference compiled from web-search-verified published sources, cited per entry, rather than memory or stereotype. etiquette_by_country gives the full record for one of ten countries/country-groups: formality level, hand-use convention, presentation and receiving etiquette, what to avoid, seniority ordering, and translation/printing norms, each with an explicit caveat about individual and company variation. country_list lists all ten. hand_use_lookup, seniority_and_order_guidance, and translation_and_printing_tips return a single field when that's all you need. compare_countries lines up several countries side by side. search_by_convention finds every country matching a specific convention like 'left hand' or 'both hands'. common_mistakes lists frequent cross-cultural mistakes. universal_safe_default gives a safe fallback for a country not covered. regional_note explicitly documents where a broad region like East Asia or the Middle East contains real, sourced differences between its countries, so it's never treated as one interchangeable rule. Keyless; zero upstream calls at request time; nothing submitted is stored.

Sources: Compiled and cross-checked from multiple published etiquette guides per country (cited in each record's sources field), verified via web search rather than relying on memory or stereotype; fully local at request time, zero upstream calls, nothing submitted is stored

What Cardcraft is for

"Which hand do I use to hand over my card in Japan?", "who goes first in a Korean meeting?", "is Middle East etiquette the same everywhere?" — a business-card etiquette reference for people preparing for international meetings, built from web-search-verified published sources rather than memory or stereotype.

What it does

etiquette_by_country gives the full record for one of ten countries/country-groups — Japan, China, South Korea, India, UAE/Gulf states, Israel, Germany, United States, France/Italy, and United Kingdom/Ireland — covering formality level, hand-use convention, how to present and receive a card, what to avoid, seniority ordering, and translation/printing norms. country_list lists all ten. hand_use_lookup, seniority_and_order_guidance, and translation_and_printing_tips each surface just one field when that's all you need. compare_countries lines up several countries' formality, hand use, and seniority order side by side. search_by_convention finds every country matching a specific convention (e.g. "left hand", "both hands"). common_mistakes lists frequent cross-cultural mistakes with fixes. universal_safe_default gives a safe fallback approach for a country not covered here. regional_note explicitly documents where a broad region — East Asia, the Middle East, Western Europe & the US, South Asia — actually contains real, sourced differences between its countries.

How this was verified

Every country entry was compiled from multiple independent, published etiquette guides found via web search (cited by domain in each record's sources field) and cross-checked against each other rather than drawn from memory or a single source. Where sources disagreed or a broad regional label would have flattened real differences — East Asia's three distinct national rituals, or the sharp contrast between Gulf-state and Israeli business norms — this reference deliberately keeps separate entries and adds a regional_note calling out exactly where the nuance is, rather than collapsing a region into one convention.

What it is not

Not a claim that every individual, company, or generation within a country follows these conventions identically — every entry carries a caveat field saying so. Treat this as a respectful, well-sourced starting point to prepare with, and stay attentive to the specific people and setting you're actually in.

Cardcraft — Privacy Policy

Effective 25 September 2026. Unify Dynamics LLC ("we", "us"), Menlo Park, California.

What Cardcraft is. Cardcraft is a connector (an MCP server and REST API) that AI assistants and personal agents call on your behalf for a hand-curated, web-search-verified business-card etiquette reference. You interact with your assistant; the assistant sends us only the arguments needed for that one lookup.

What we receive. The arguments of each tool call — a country name, a list of countries to compare, a convention keyword, or a region name — the technical headers needed to serve the request (an IP address or a client identifier supplied by the assistant, and a Pro API key if you have one), and standard server logs.

Everything is answered from a bundled reference file and nothing is stored. No request is forwarded to any third party at request time — there is no upstream call at all when you use the connector — and no query is logged in request bodies, recorded, or used to train anything. (The dataset itself was compiled ahead of time from public web sources, cited per entry; nothing about your queries is sent back to those sources.)

What we do not receive or store. We do not receive your conversation with the assistant or your name, and we do not build a profile from your queries: each request is answered independently. Rate-limit counters (a client identifier and timestamps) are held in memory for at most 24 hours. Hosting-provider access logs, which contain IP addresses and request paths but not request bodies, are retained for up to 30 days for security and abuse prevention.

Sub-processors. None — the entire dataset is bundled with the server and answered locally. Hosting: Vercel (United States regions).

Legal bases and your rights. Our processing is necessary to provide the service you request through your assistant. Because we store no personal data beyond short-lived logs, requests to access, correct or delete personal data are usually satisfied automatically; you can still contact agent@connectorbay.com and we will respond within 30 days. We do not sell or share personal information and do not use your data to train models.

Children. Cardcraft is a general-audience service operated by the adult using the assistant.

Changes. We will post changes here with a new effective date.
