Asktian tools (6)

write = sends, deletes, buys or posts
  • asktian_best_time_for_actionFree

    Find the most auspicious time windows in the next N days for a specific action. Use this when the user asks 'when should I do X', 'should I move this meeting', 'is tomorrow a good day to launch', 'when should I have the hard conversation', etc. Returns top 3 best windows and any windows to avoid. This is the most useful tool for real-time decision support inside any AI assistant — it lets you give specific scheduling advice instead of vague reflections.

  • asktian_compatibilityFree

    Compute fate compatibility between two people via Chinese metaphysics (八字 pairing, 5-element generation/clash). Returns qualitative label first (e.g. '互补型 Complementary'), then a numeric score (hidden if <60 to avoid making low-compat feel like rejection — this is intentional per the asktian design principles). Useful when user asks about compatibility, fit, or 'will this person and I work'.

  • asktian_daily_readingFree

    Get today's personalized Chinese metaphysics (八字 bazi + 干支 daily energy) reading for a person. Returns their archetype (one of 8 trigrams 八卦), today's energy, favorable colors/direction/hours, headline advice, and any caution. Use this when the user asks how today will be for them, what colors to wear, where to face their desk, or for general daily guidance.

  • asktian_market_readFree

    Get a Chinese-metaphysics signal on a binary prediction-market question (Polymarket/Kalshi style yes/no outcomes). Use when a user — or a trading agent — wants an UNCORRELATED, for-fun read on a market: 'will X happen by date Y'. Returns a lean (yes/no/neutral), a confidence, the 五行 reasoning from the resolution date's energy, and a mandatory disclaimer. This is ENTERTAINMENT and a falsifiable ritual — NOT financial advice. Always present it as a novelty signal, never as a recommendation to place a bet.

  • asktian_name_analysisFree

    Quick energetic profile of a name (姓名学 name-analysis). Useful when the user asks about someone's name, a baby name, a company name, or 'what kind of person is X' when no birthdate is available. Returns a one-line vibe + dominant element guess.

  • asktian_today_energyFree

    Get today's GENERAL energy (no person needed) — the 干支 (stem + branch) and the dominant 5-element character of the day. Useful when the user asks 'what kind of day is it', 'what's the energy today', or when an AI agent wants to add cosmic context to a generic suggestion without needing the user's birthdate.

asktian MCP server

Chinese metaphysics inside your AI assistant.

不知道就问天 · Ask tian when you don't know.

Adds 4000 years of Chinese metaphysical traditions (bazi / 八字, qimen / 奇门, five elements, daily 干支 energy) as callable tools for any AI agent that speaks the Model Context Protocol — Claude Desktop, Claude Code, Cursor, Windsurf, Zed, and any MCP-compatible client.

When you ask your AI assistant a timing, person, or decision question, it can quietly consult asktian before answering.

The decision layer for AI agents. Agents already plug in search, memory, and payments — askTIAN is the layer that gives them a stance: a specific, falsifiable call instead of "it depends." → Why it sells · 2-min quickstart

### ✨ Real readings, no key needed.

The tools call the live askTIAN backend and return real results — daily almanac, fate

compatibility, name analysis, day energy — straight out of the box. The read endpoints are

public and rate-limited (~300 requests / 15 min). An optional ASKTIANAPIKEY

(api.asktian.com) raises the limit and unlocks the **premium

tian. reading tier. marketread is a deterministic local novelty signal; besttime

returns a guided preview (no backend endpoint yet).

You: "I have a hard conversation with my boss tomorrow at 3pm. Should I move it?"

Claude (with asktian MCP):
  → calls asktian_best_time_for_action({ birthdate, action: "difficult_conversation" })
  → "Friday 10am scores much higher. Tomorrow 3pm is your clash hour.
     Want me to draft a message to reschedule?"

Install

npm install -g @asktian/mcp-server

Then add to your client's MCP config:

Claude Desktop

Edit ~/Library/Application Support/Claude/claudedesktopconfig.json (macOS) or %APPDATA%\Claude\claudedesktopconfig.json (Windows):

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "asktian": {
      "command": "asktian-mcp",
      "env": {
        "ASKTIAN_API_KEY": "at_live_xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx"
      }
    }
  }
}

Restart Claude Desktop. Look for the 🔌 icon — asktian should appear with 6 tools.

Cursor

Add to ~/.cursor/mcp.json:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "asktian": {
      "command": "asktian-mcp",
      "env": {
        "ASKTIAN_API_KEY": "at_live_xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx"
      }
    }
  }
}

Windsurf

Add to ~/.codeium/windsurf/mcp_config.json — same shape as above.

Zed

Add to your Zed settings under assistant.mcp_servers — same command + env.

Any other MCP client

Run asktian-mcp as a subprocess; it speaks JSON-RPC over stdio per the MCP spec.

Remote / hosted (streamable-HTTP)

For LangChain, LlamaIndex, Fetch.ai, or any agent that connects to a hosted MCP endpoint, run the server in HTTP mode instead of stdio:

ASKTIAN_MCP_HTTP=1 PORT=8080 npx -y @asktian/mcp-server
# → streamable-HTTP on :8080/mcp   (health check: GET :8080/health)

Hosted at https://mcp.asktian.com/mcp. Pass your key as a Bearer header: Authorization: Bearer YOURASKTIANAPI_KEY.

LangChain & LlamaIndex

Both have native MCP adapters — askTIAN works with zero integration code. Copy-paste snippets in docs/langchain-llamaindex.md.

API key

The key is optional — readings are real either way.

Shortened. The full README is on GitHub.
