Ephemeris Time-Series Forecasting tools (7, 1 write)
write = sends, deletes, buys or postsdescribe_forecastFreeDeterministic calculations from a complete ephemeris.forecast v1 artifact object, including CLI artifacts. No inference or forecast charge; this hosted tool still receives data over the network. Returns scope, result, basis, limitations and source pointers: last-observed baseline, median endpoint/change, marginal-median aggregates, and exact saved billing units. Missing medians/context remain unknown. Sum of medians only for period_total; it is not a cumulative-distribution interval or median. No calibrated coverage, causal explanation, path/peak probability, or business action is inferred. Example: pass {artifact: <forecast result artifact>}; choose series_index/variate_index for multiple results. Maximum 1 MiB; malformed/version/shape errors are recoverable by fixing the artifact or using CLI, never rerunning inference. Missing labels may be corrected in a COPY of context without changing request/response. No filesystem access, URL fetches, persistent storage, Gnomon import, or scoring.
forecastwrite actionFreeSubmit numeric observations to forecast future sampling steps. Spends credits on successful calls. Choose and retain idempotency_key before submitting; no automatic retries, replay depends on server retention. Minimal example: {mode: route, series: [{values: [10,12,11], freq: D}], horizon: 2, quantiles: [0.1,0.5,0.9]}. Returns forecasts and meta as before, plus artifact by default for describe_forecast/plot_forecast. Save the embedded JSON attachment: it includes full input history and local context; no hosted storage is created. Context never becomes a model input. Billing is at meta.billing in millicredit strings (100 mc = 0.1 credits). Missing future inputs mean not supplied, not no events. Quantile bands do not establish coverage, cumulative intervals or peak probabilities. After uncertain completion, reuse the same key and API request; an expired key may cause a new charge.
get_balanceFreeReturn the account's spendable credit balance in millicredits, excluding credits reserved by in-progress forecasts. 1000 millicredits equal one credit.
get_usageFreeReturn the account's forecast request log, newest first, with the mode, models used, series count, horizon, credits estimated and settled, HTTP status and latency of each request.
get_versionFreeRead this deployed MCP server's version, nullable build commit and supported saved forecast schema versions. Call with {}. No API key, account access, inference, charges or writes; network access to this server only. Returns component, version, build_commit (full source SHA or null when unavailable), and artifact_schema_versions. Unknown commit stays null. Server, CLI, npm bridge and artifact schema versions are independent; this tool cannot inspect local installations, check the latest registry release or establish model quality. Use list_models for live model capabilities. After a connection failure reconnect and retry; no forecast could have been submitted by this tool.
list_modelsFreeDiscover the model panel: each model's availability right now (healthy), capabilities (multivariate, covariates, max_horizon, auto_max_horizon), its weight in an ensemble at each horizon, pinned and actually served weight revision, price per thousand series-slots in millicredits and maximum billable context. Call this before using forecast in explicit mode; the deployed panel can differ from any documentation.
plot_forecastFreeRender a complete ephemeris.forecast v1 artifact object as PNG (default inline preview) or SVG (embedded resource to save). No inference or forecast charge; hosted processing receives the artifact over the network. Example: {artifact: <saved artifact>, format: png}. Requires returned q0.5; never invents a median. Observed history, forecast boundary, median and nominal quantile bands are labeled. Default history view is most recent max(24, 2*horizon) points, capped by available history; history: all shows all. Dates only when supported by recorded metadata, otherwise sampling steps. Bands do not establish calibrated coverage; missing/crossed points are omitted and counted. Maximum 1 MiB input. Select series_index/variate_index for multiple results. Fix argument/shape errors without rerunning inference. User-supplied labels can be corrected in a COPY of artifact context offline; no new forecast needed. Client decides preview/download UI. URNs identify attached bytes, not hosted URLs; no filesystem access, URL fetching or persistent storage.

Ephemeris MCP server: time-series foundation model (TSFM) forecasting for AI agents
Give Claude, Cursor, ChatGPT or any MCP client the ability to forecast numeric time series with prediction intervals: sales, demand, inventory, web traffic, signups, revenue, energy load, prices, sensor readings, infrastructure metrics.
Ephemeris runs a panel of open-weights, zero-shot time-series foundation models (TSFMs) behind one API key, plus an accuracy-weighted ensemble of them:
Send history, get quantile forecasts back. No training, no feature engineering, no GPU. Name a model, let Ephemeris route to the best fit for your data, or use the ensemble, an accuracy-weighted blend of the panel:
- TIME: level with the top of the leaderboard (MASE 0.639 vs 0.638 for the leader), with the best average MASE rank of 31 models
- GIFT-Eval: CRPS 0.4662 against seasonal naive, better than every model it blends (a few leaderboard entries, including TimesFM-3, score better)
Scored with each benchmark's own harness. Details: ephemeris.cascade.industries/benchmarks.
Tools
Get an API key
Quickest, from a terminal:
npx ephemeris-mcp loginIt opens Ephemeris in your browser. Sign in (or sign up), check the page shows the same code as your terminal, and approve. The key is saved to ~/.config/ephemeris/credentials, readable by you only, and the stdio bridge below uses it, with no key in your MCP config. The Ephemeris CLI (ephemeris auth login) and savetokens share the same file. npx ephemeris-mcp logout deletes it; revoke the key itself on the dashboard's API keys page.
Or sign up at ephemeris.cascade.industries and create a key (pclive...) in the dashboard. Pay per forecast, no subscription: pricing.
