Swiss Ephemeris MCP Server is a Model Context Protocol (MCP) server that provides precise astrological calculations—including natal charts, planetary transits, synastry, and solar return charts—using the Swiss Ephemeris. It exposes tools for LLMs and AI agents to retrieve planetary positions, houses, chart points, and asteroids for any date, time, and location.
Overview

what is Swiss Ephemeris?

Swiss Ephemeris is a Model Context Protocol (MCP) server that provides precise astrological calculations, including natal charts, planetary transits, synastry, and solar return charts, using the Swiss Ephemeris library.

how to use Swiss Ephemeris?

To use Swiss Ephemeris, you can either run it locally by cloning the repository and installing the necessary dependencies or use it via Docker. The server exposes various tools to calculate planetary positions and astrological data for specific dates and locations.

key features of Swiss Ephemeris?

  • Calculation of planetary positions for various celestial bodies
  • Support for lunar nodes and asteroids
  • 12-house system using Placidus for astrological houses
  • Tools for calculating natal charts, transits, solar returns, and synastry charts

use cases of Swiss Ephemeris?

  1. Generating natal charts for individuals based on their birth data.
  2. Analyzing current planetary transits in relation to a natal chart.
  3. Calculating solar return charts to predict yearly themes.
  4. Assessing relationship compatibility through synastry charts.

FAQ from Swiss Ephemeris?

  • Can Swiss Ephemeris calculate charts for any date and location?

Yes! It can calculate astrological data for any specified date, time, and location.

  • Is there a web interface for Swiss Ephemeris?

Currently, it is primarily a server-based tool, but it can be integrated into web applications using HTTP mode.

  • What programming languages are supported for integration?

The server can be accessed via any programming language that can make HTTP requests.

# govql-mcp-server An MCP (Model Context Protocol) server for [GovQL](https://govql.us) — gives AI clients like Claude Desktop, Claude Code, and Cursor direct access to the US Congressional GraphQL API at [api.govql.us/graphql](https://api.govql.us/graphql) without bespoke HTTP wiring. For the design rationale (why FastMCP-Python, the passthrough+curated philosophy, roadmap through v0.4), see [design.md](https://github.com/govql/govql/blob/main/mcp-server/docs/design.md). ## What you can do with it Ask an agent questions like: - *"How did Vermont's two senators vote on the most recent nomination?"* - *"Which legislators in the 118th Congress switched parties during their service?"* - *"Compare Senator Sanders' voting record to Senator Murkowski's on cloture votes in the most recent Congress."* The agent picks the right tool, writes the GraphQL query against the live schema, and parses the response — no manual API wrangling. ## Install The server runs as a per-client subprocess over stdio. Pick your client: ### Claude Desktop Edit `claude_desktop_config.json` (Settings → Developer → Edit Config): ```json { "mcpServers": { "govql": { "command": "uvx", "args": ["govql-mcp-server"] } } } ``` Restart Claude Desktop. The `govql` tools appear in the tools panel. ### Claude Code Add to `.mcp.json` in your project (or `~/.mcp.json` for global): ```json { "mcpServers": { "govql": { "command": "uvx", "args": ["govql-mcp-server"] } } } ``` ### Cursor Settings → MCP → Add Server. Use the same `command` / `args` as above. ### Other clients Any MCP-compatible client that supports stdio servers will work. The command is `uvx govql-mcp-server` with no required arguments. ## Tools | Tool | Purpose | |---|---| | `execute_graphql` | Run any GraphQL query against the GovQL endpoint. Returns the result plus an `last_ingest` timestamp so the agent can reason about data freshness. | | `list_types` | Returns the names and kinds of every type in the GovQL schema. Optional `kind` filter (`"OBJECT"`, `"INPUT_OBJECT"`, `"ENUM"`, etc.) to narrow further. Start here when you don't know what's queryable. | | `describe_type` | Returns one type's full details — fields, arg signatures, input fields, enum values. Call after `list_types` to learn the shape of a specific type before writing a query. | ## Configuration All env vars are optional — the package is zero-config for end users. | Env var | Default | Purpose | |---|---|---| | `GOVQL_ENDPOINT` | `https://api.govql.us/graphql` | Endpoint to query. Override to point at a local dev stack. | | `GOVQL_TIMEOUT_MS` | `30000` | Per-request HTTP timeout. | | `LOG_LEVEL` | `INFO` | Logging level. Logs go to stderr only (stdout is reserved for the MCP transport). | ## Limits (enforced by the upstream API) - Max query depth: 10 - Max query complexity: ~10 billion points (`first: N` multiplies child cost by N — keep page sizes reasonable on deeply nested queries) - Rate limit: 100 requests / 60 s per source IP A depth or complexity violation surfaces as a GraphQL `errors` entry in the tool response so the agent can adjust and retry. ## Data freshness Every `execute_graphql` response includes a `last_ingest` ISO timestamp. Vote data refreshes hourly; legislator data refreshes daily. ## Status Version 0.1.0 ships three foundational tools: a GraphQL passthrough (`execute_graphql`) and two narrow schema-discovery tools (`list_types`, `describe_type`). Curated higher-level tools (`find_legislator`, `get_voting_record`, `compare_voters`, etc.) are planned for subsequent releases — see [design.md](https://github.com/govql/govql/blob/main/mcp-server/docs/design.md) for the roadmap. ## Links - [GovQL project site](https://govql.us) - [GraphQL API](https://api.govql.us/graphql) - [Source / issues](https://github.com/govql/govql)
