Overview
What is Swiss Ephemeris?
The Swiss Ephemeris MCP Server is a Model Context Protocol server that provides astronomical calculations using the Swiss Ephemeris library. It calculates planetary positions, houses, chart points, and asteroids for any date and location, targeting developers and astrologers integrating ephemeris data into AI tools.
How to use Swiss Ephemeris?
Install the swetest command locally (required for Claude Desktop), then configure the server via Claude Desktop’s MCP settings or run manually with npx github:dm0lz/swiss-ephemeris-mcp-server. Four main tools are provided: calculate_planetary_positions, calculate_transits, calculate_solar_revolution, and calculate_synastry, each accepting ISO8601 datetime and geographic coordinates.
