asktian MCP server
by douglasgan
Adds Chinese metaphysics readings to your AI: daily energy, compatibility, best timing, and name analysis.
This is a helper that connects your AI assistant to asktian, a service that gives Chinese metaphysics readings. Once it is set up, you can ask your AI things like how your day looks, whether you and someone else are a good match, or the best time to have a hard conversation. It is handy for anyone curious about bazi, five elements, or timing advice, even if you have never studied any of it.
What is an MCP server? The 30-second version
On its own, your AI can only chat with you using what it already knows. An MCP server is a small helper program that gives your AI a new skill or a connection to an outside service. This one connects your AI to asktian, so when you ask a timing or compatibility question, the AI can quietly check the asktian service and bring back a real reading. You do not need to understand how it works under the hood. You just ask, and the AI does the checking for you.
What this MCP server does
You ask your AI a question, like whether tomorrow is a good day to launch something or how you and a friend match up. The AI notices this is a question asktian can help with, so it sends the details you gave (like your birthdate) to this helper. The helper talks to the asktian service and gets a reading back. Then your AI turns that reading into a normal answer in the chat, with things like best hours, colors, or a compatibility label. You never have to open another app or copy anything into a website.

Try asking your AI
- “How will today be for me? I was born 1992-05-15.”
- “I have a 3pm meeting tomorrow with a difficult client. Should I move it?”
- “My partner was born 1990-08-22 and I was born 1992-05-15. How are we as a couple?”
- “Is Aurora a good name for my startup?”
What it gives back to you
You get a written answer in the chat, not a file or a table. It usually includes a short label or headline, some specific advice like a good hour or direction, and sometimes a score. For compatibility, it leads with a friendly label first, and hides the number if it is low so nobody feels rejected. For timing questions, it lists the top few windows with a short reason for each.
Before you start
What you need
- Node.js installed on your computer (the free program that runs this helper)
- An MCP-compatible AI app, like Claude Desktop, Cursor, Windsurf, or Zed
- Optional: an API key from api.asktian.com if you want higher limits and the premium readings (the free mode works without one)
Good to know
The market read tool is entertainment only and not financial advice, and the readings are meant as guidance, not as facts you should bet money or make big life decisions on.
Install it with your AI

You don't install anything by hand. You copy one prompt, paste it into an AI that can work on your computer, and it checks, installs and connects the server for you, asking you when it needs something.
Sign in to get the install prompt
Members get a ready-made prompt that lets the Claude desktop app check asktian MCP server, install it and connect it for them, step by step. You don't need any technical skills: you copy, paste and answer a few questions. Your connected AI can also find and install any of the 4,066 MCP servers here for you.
