Overview

AI-generated overview

A remote MCP server for the I Ching: cast hexagrams with the three-coin method and look up all 64 hexagrams with classical and English texts.

What you can do
Cast a hexagram with the classic three-coin method, returning the primary hexagram, its judgment in classical Chinese with an English translation, a plain-language meaning, moving lines and the transformed hexagram. Look up any of the 64 hexagrams by King Wen number, Chinese name, pinyin or Wilhelm English name, with trigram composition, judgment, all six line texts and a plain-language meaning. List all 64 hexagrams with numbers, names, pinyin and Unicode symbols.
When to use it
Useful when an assistant should offer I Ching divination or reference the hexagram texts, for example for a reading, a reflective prompt, or study of the classical judgments and line texts.
Requirements
A remote endpoint at thehexagrams.com over streamable HTTP; no authentication, environment variables or headers are declared, and no local package is needed.
Before you install
The tool output is divination and interpretive material, not factual or professional advice. The lookup results include links to the provider's site, and the server is a third-party service whose availability and content are outside your control.

Installation

In SourceWeft

  1. Open I Ching Hexagrams (The Hexagrams) in the dashboard and add it to a workspace.
  2. Enable the server for the chats that should use its tools.

Web executable via Streamable HTTP. Remote servers run from the web runtime once configured in a workspace.

Use with an agent

Paste this prompt into Claude Code, Codex, Cursor or another agent — or into SourceWeft chat. The agent reads this server's install guide, shows you its publisher, endpoint and sign-in, and adds it to your client once you agree. Keys never go into a command.

Read https://sourceweft.com/mcp/com.thehexagrams%2Fiching/install.md and connect the MCP server it describes to my client. Before changing any config, show me its publisher, endpoint and sign-in method and wait for my OK. Never put an API key in a command or in a file I would commit; ask me where it should come from.

Read the install guide the agent follows
