[License: MIT] [npm version] [Install with Smithery] [Glama MCP]

A Model Context Protocol server for the Chinese Tung Shing (通勝) almanac — let Claude, Cursor, Windsurf, or any MCP client plan real-life events with NASA-grade astronomy and the 1739 imperial canon.

中国传统黄历（通胜）MCP 服务 — 基于协纪辨方书（1739 钦定）与 JPL DE440s 天文级精度引擎，让 Claude / Cursor / 任意 MCP 客户端为你择日择时。

✨ Features 功能

• 📅 Full daily almanac 每日通胜 — lunar date 农历, GanZhi pillars 干支, Day Officer 值神（建除十二神）, Yellow/Black Belt 黄黑道, zodiac clash 冲煞, auspicious/avoid 宜忌, spirits 神煞, Pengzu taboos 彭祖百忌, 28 mansions 二十八宿
• 💒 Auspicious date picking 择日 — engine-scored top dates for 8 real-life events (weddings 嫁娶, moves 搬家, openings 开业, renovations 动土, C-sections 剖腹产, contract signing / car / home purchases 签约买车 买房, travel 出行, new jobs 入职), four-tier spirit arbitration （協紀辨方書四层仲裁）, 60+ EN/CN synonyms, weekend_only filter

• 🎯 Personal lucky hours 个人吉时 — your zodiac × date → ranked hours （三合/六合/六冲/六害 × 黄黑道）

v1.1 — Transparent auspicious picking 择日增强

pick_auspicious_dates now supports patron_birth (福主生日):

• Patron zodiac match — days clashing (六冲) or harming (六害) the patron's zodiac are vetoed; 三合/六合 days get +15 with bilingual reasons.

• Fixed inauspicious days hard-veto — 杨公忌 / 三娘煞 (weddings) / 十恶大败 / 四离四绝 (computed from minute-precision solar terms).

• Transparent split — engine_score (0-5 four-tier arbitration) and local_adjustment are reported separately, never double-counted.

• pick_dates_deep — day-by-day scan for burial 安葬 & ancestor worship 祭祀 (no engine shortlist exists for these), capped at 31-day windows.

• All scoring logic is ported from and cross-validated against the tung-shing-almanac-skill Python engine — 249 test vectors, 100% match.

• 🌾 24 solar terms 二十四节气 — minute precision (JPL DE440s ephemeris, 1900–2100)

• 🛡️ Watermarked, rate-limited API — data provenance & DMCA-ready (server-side engine stays closed-source)
