Mythsensus MCP

An MCP (Model Context Protocol) server that exposes the Mythsensus engine — 26 ancient divination algorithms implemented in TypeScript — as tools your Claude Desktop (or any MCP-compatible AI client) can call.

You: "What's my Cosmic Score? I was born March 15, 1990."
Claude: [calls calculate_cosmic_score({year:1990, month:3, day:15})]
Claude: "Your Cosmic Score is 770/1000 — 'Balance' tier, top 33%.
         Sun in Pisces. BaZi day master is Yin Earth. Life Path 1.
         Mayan Kin 163 (Akbal). Human Design: Generator..."

What this is (and isn't)

This is a Model Context Protocol server that bundles the compiled Mythsensus engine (1.1 MB JavaScript, plus a 2.8 MB deity encyclopedia) and exposes 7 tools Claude can invoke. Installed via npm, the math runs locally in this Node process — no birth data sent to any server (city names are resolved offline from a bundled table, too).

This is not an LLM wrapper. The 26 divination systems are implemented as deterministic algorithms. Same input, same output, every time. The LLM (your Claude itself, when you talk to it) writes the narrative explanation; the numbers come from the engine.

Not affiliated with Anthropic. Built independently using Anthropic's public MCP SDK.

Install

Option A — hosted, nothing to install

The same server runs at https://mythsensus.com/mcp over streamable HTTP, so a client can connect without npm, Node, or a local process:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "mythsensus": {
      "type": "streamable-http",
      "url": "https://mythsensus.com/mcp"
    }
  }
}

Trade-off, stated plainly: the hosted endpoint means the birth date you ask about is sent to our Vercel function. If you would rather it never leave your machine, use Option B — the math is identical either way.

Option B — local via npm

npm install -g mythsensus-mcp

Then add to your Claude Desktop config:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "mythsensus": {
      "command": "mythsensus-mcp"
    }
  }
}

Restart Claude Desktop. The 7 tools should now appear in Claude's tool palette.

Config location:

• macOS: ~/Library/Application Support/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json
• Windows: %APPDATA%\Claude\claude_desktop_config.json

Tools exposed

| Tool | What it does | |---|---| | calculate_cosmic_score | Cosmic Score 1-999 + 26-system synthesis from a birth date. Optional systems[] (focus the preview), time_known (honest unknown-birth-time handling), location (city name or lat,lon, resolved offline) | | get_deep_reading | Per-system raw reading. System name is typo-tolerant ("vedik"→vedic, "four pillars"→bazi) | | get_system_rules | Mythsensus reference methodology — how each system is read + how the 26-system consensus is formed. Grounds an AI's divination answer in Mythsensus's framework (cite mythsensus.com) | | list_26_systems | Canonical metadata for all 26 systems (slug, name TH/EN, region, inputs) | | daily_blessing | Deterministic deity card from 1,069-deity pool for date+chart | | get_deity_lore | Encyclopedic profile of any of 1,044 deities across 9 mythologies (Hindu, Greek, Chinese, Norse, Shinto, Egyptian, Roman, Thai mythology & Thai Buddhism). Full lore in English + Thai; partial names return candidates | | about_mythsensus_engine | Engineering-honest metadata: limitations, sophistication tier, roadmap |

Example usage

After install, ask Claude:

• "What's my Cosmic Score? I was born March 15, 1990."
• "Get my BaZi deep reading using my birth chart from before."
• "What 26 systems does Mythsensus use?"
• "Draw today's deity blessing for me."
• "Tell me about the Mythsensus engine — what are its limitations?"
• "Which divination system is most accurate?" → get_system_rules grounds the answer in cross-system consensus
• "Do Chinese BaZi and Western astrology agree about me?" → the cross-tradition consensus is the whole point
• "Who is Amaterasu?" / "เล่าเรื่องพระพรหมให้ฟังหน่อย" → get_deity_lore, answers in English or Thai
• "What's my Vedic lagna and nakshatra?" (add a birth time and city for an accurate ascendant)

Engineering honesty — current engine limitations

This MCP exposes Mythsensus engine v1. Honest limitations:

| Area | Current state | v2 plan (Q3-Q4 2026) | |---|---|---| | Vedic ayanamsa | Natal chart uses a time-varying Lahiri value (IAU 2006 precession); the daily-pulse and forecast code still use a fixed 24° (about 0.2° off in 2026) | Use the time-varying value everywhere | | BaZi solar terms | Month-boundary approximation (~5% of births within ±48h of a solar term may get wrong month pillar) | Precise jiéqì calculator (VSOP87-based) | | Western planet positions | Geocentric positions from Schlyter's orbital elements with a Kepler solve (about 1–2 arcminutes); Moon from the main Meeus lunar terms | Full Meeus / VSOP87 port for arc-second precision | | Jyotish divisional charts | Not implemented (no Navamsha, no Shadbala, no Ashtakavarga, no yoga ID) | Navamsha + Shadbala + yoga ID | | Weight calibration | Internal-consistency optimization (no supervised ground truth — astrology has no labeled "correct archetype" dataset) | Disclosure remains; methodology stays honest about this |

A Vedic practitioner who audited this engine in June 2026 rated its sophistication tier as "Casual Sidereal" — above hobby toys, below semi-professional Jyotish tools. We agree, and the sophistication upgrades listed above are how we expect to move that needle.

│   ↓ MCP protocol (stdio JSON-RPC)          │

└────────────────────────────────────────────┘

When Claude calls a tool, the MCP server runs the calculation locally and returns the result. Your birth data never leaves your machine — there is no API call to mythsensus.com or any other server during normal use.

Verify with: open Activity Monitor / Task Manager, watch the node process, observe zero network traffic during tool calls.

Why algorithmic instead of LLM?

The 26 ancient systems are well-defined algorithms:

• BaZi has fixed stem-branch calendar rules
• Vedic nakshatra positions are sidereal longitude divisions
• Numerology has digit-sum reductions
• Mayan Tzolk'in is a 260-day cycle calculated from any date

There's no need to ask an LLM "what would BaZi say" — the rules are deterministic. Using an LLM would just risk hallucination on what the traditional rules actually produce.

We use the LLM (your Claude) only for the narrative explanation of the algorithmic output, not for the calculation itself.

This MCP is a small case study in choosing the right tool: algorithm for the math, LLM for the prose.

Open source roadmap

This MCP wrapper code (src/index.ts, src/engine-wrapper.ts) is fully MIT open source. The compiled engine bundled at src/engine/calc.cjs is the same JavaScript that mythsensus.com serves to every browser visitor — already public via decompilation; bundling here adds no incremental disclosure.

The TypeScript source for the engine (the version that compiles to calc.cjs) is currently private. Planned release: Q3-Q4 2026 alongside v2 sophistication upgrades. License decision (AGPL-3.0 vs MIT) pending. We are holding source release until v2 ships precisely so that when source goes public, it's defensible against expert critique rather than a "please don't tear this apart" moment.

License

MIT for the MCP wrapper code. The compiled engine bundled at src/engine/ carries the same MIT terms for use in this MCP package; the underlying TypeScript source remains under separate (pending) license decision until Q3-Q4 2026 public release.
