Nothing serious here today
Today is the operative word: we check Asktian every 15 minutes and re-read its code on every release. Watch it and you find out the day that stops being true.

asktian
asktian_best_time_for_action
Find the most auspicious time windows in the next N days for a specific action. Use this when the user asks 'when should I do X', 'should I move this meeting', 'is tomorrow a good day to launch', 'when should I have the hard conversation', etc. Returns top 3 best windows and any windows to avoid. This is the most useful tool for real-time decision support inside any AI assistant — it lets you give specific scheduling advice instead of vague reflections.
asktian_compatibility
Compute fate compatibility between two people via Chinese metaphysics (八字 pairing, 5-element generation/clash). Returns qualitative label first (e.g. '互补型 Complementary'), then a numeric score (hidden if <60 to avoid making low-compat feel like rejection — this is intentional per the asktian design principles). Useful when user asks about compatibility, fit, or 'will this person and I work'.
asktian_daily_reading
Get today's personalized Chinese metaphysics (八字 bazi + 干支 daily energy) reading for a person. Returns their archetype (one of 8 trigrams 八卦), today's energy, favorable colors/direction/hours, headline advice, and any caution. Use this when the user asks how today will be for them, what colors to wear, where to face their desk, or for general daily guidance.
asktian_market_read
Get a Chinese-metaphysics signal on a binary prediction-market question (Polymarket/Kalshi style yes/no outcomes). Use when a user — or a trading agent — wants an UNCORRELATED, for-fun read on a market: 'will X happen by date Y'. Returns a lean (yes/no/neutral), a confidence, the 五行 reasoning from the resolution date's energy, and a mandatory disclaimer. This is ENTERTAINMENT and a falsifiable ritual — NOT financial advice. Always present it as a novelty signal, never as a recommendation to place a bet.
asktian_name_analysis
Quick energetic profile of a name (姓名学 name-analysis). Useful when the user asks about someone's name, a baby name, a company name, or 'what kind of person is X' when no birthdate is available. Returns a one-line vibe + dominant element guess.
asktian_today_energy
Get today's GENERAL energy (no person needed) — the 干支 (stem + branch) and the dominant 5-element character of the day. Useful when the user asks 'what kind of day is it', 'what's the energy today', or when an AI agent wants to add cosmic context to a generic suggestion without needing the user's birthdate.

Asktian — questions
Answers built from our own checks of this server.
What can Asktian do?
It exposes 6 tools, read directly from the server on our last check. Among them: asktian_best_time_for_action, asktian_compatibility, asktian_daily_reading, asktian_market_read, asktian_name_analysis, asktian_today_energy. The full list with descriptions is on this page — we take it from the server itself via tools/list, not from a README.
How MCP servers expose tools in the first place →
Is Asktian working right now?
We send a real MCP handshake every 15 minutes. Over the last 24 hours 91 of 91 checks got a reply (100.0%), average response time 199 ms. The bar chart above shows every period we have measured.
How do I connect Asktian?
Copy the ready config from this page. We generate it for Claude Code, Claude Desktop, Codex, Cursor and VS Code, each in the form that client actually reads. It is a remote server, so there is nothing to install — the client connects to the address.
Does Asktian need an API key?
No. Asktian completed a full MCP handshake with us as an anonymous client and listed its tools without asking for anything. All 6 of them are readable on this page. This is what we observed, not what the docs claim.
How fast is Asktian?
It answers our handshake in 199 ms on average, which is faster than 69% of all working MCP servers we measure. The comparison comes from our own checks across the whole registry, every 15 minutes.
How many people use Asktian?
The npm package @asktian/mcp-server was installed 67 times in the last week. Week over week that is -39%. We show installs rather than GitHub stars on purpose: a star is a bookmark, an install is someone actually running it.
Is Asktian open source?
The code is open source: it is published under the MIT licence, written in TypeScript and 2 stars on GitHub. The licence covers the code in the repository, not the hosted service at mcp.asktian.com, which runs on its operator's own terms.
