I have Myra the Magnificent and I also have the mechanic Magecraft.
Magecraft says "Whenever you cast or copy an instant or sorcery spell".
Myra the Magnificent has two lines;
Whenever you visit that attraction, copy the exiled card.
You may cast the copy without paying its mana cost.

Does Magecraft get triggered twice? Once for the copy and another for the cast?

No, magecraft abilities only get triggered once when you visit an Attraction that Myra has exiled a card with. You aren't copying an instant or sorcery spell for Myra's ability, just copying a card - something that isn't on the stack isn't a spell. Then you cast the copy, meaning your permanents' magecraft abilities trigger.
