Yarrow tools (7)
write = sends, deletes, buys or postscast_hexagramFreeCast a hexagram for an I-Ching consultation. Returns the primary hexagram, the six lines (6=old yin, 7=young yang, 8=young yin, 9=old yang from bottom to top), any moving lines, and the changing hexagram if there are moving lines. Pass `seed` to make the cast deterministic (useful for testing or for reproducing a reading).
cast_tarotFreeDraw one upright Major Arcana card for reflection. Uses a deterministic one-card Waite-Smith Major Arcana method and returns a selected source excerpt from Arthur Edward Waite's public-domain 1910/1922 text. Pass `seed` to reproduce the same draw.
divineFreeAsk the I Ching. See your next step. Cast a hexagram, show the classical sources first, then offer a thoughtful reflection grounded in those sources. Sources first. Reflection, not prediction. The divine name remains stable for oracle/divination client compatibility. Supports English, Chinese, Japanese, Korean, Spanish, French, German, Portuguese, Italian, Russian, Arabic, Hindi, Indonesian, and English+Chinese bilingual output. Daily quota: 30 completed readings per device_id (or per anonymous IP if no device_id is supplied); timeout, provider failure, incomplete response, and cancellation do not consume it.
lookup_hexagramFreeReturn the full classical sources for a hexagram by its number (1–64): judgment (卦辞), image (大象), Tuan commentary, Zhu Xi 周易本义, Yang Tian Cai modern explanation, Yarrow's separately labelled Chinese reading aid, and historical anecdote — with available Chinese and English source material.
lookup_yilinFreeLook up the 焦氏易林 verse for a primary hexagram changing into another hexagram. This is a local classical-source lookup, not an AI reading.
tarot_readingFreeAsk one real question through a single upright Waite-Smith Major Arcana card. Returns a direct calibrated answer first, the named card and bound Arthur Edward Waite 1910 source excerpt, a practical reality check, and one observable next step. No reversals, astrology, redraw loop, or guaranteed prediction. Daily quota is shared with completed divine and Two Lenses readings.
two_lensesFreeBring one real question to two independent symbolic traditions: a source-first I-Ching cast and one upright Waite-Smith Major Arcana card. Returns a clear calibrated answer first, then five grounded sections covering the I Ching lens, Tarot lens, shared themes, different emphasis, and next step. Direction without guaranteed prediction or mutual-confirmation claims. Daily quota is shared with completed divine readings.

What the publisher says
From the Yarrow repository's README, as published. We do not edit it. Read it on GitHub
Yarrow — An I-Ching oracle for the agent era
Yarrow lets you (and your agents) consult the Book of Changes — cast a hexagram, read the classical sources, and get a Wilhelm/Baynes-style reflection. Offline-first iOS app, plus a public MCP server so any LLM agent can reach the same oracle.
"The I-Ching does not predict; it mirrors. The question you bring decides the reading."
What's in this repo
The iOS source lives separately at yarrow-ios (TODO).
