Available tools 3

Read directly from the server with tools/list, grouped by what they act on. If a tool disappears, we record the date.

calculate
calculate_birth_date_profile
Calculate the Life Path number, Western Sun sign and Chinese zodiac animal for a birth date, with links to the matching Unified Reading library guides. Only the date is needed; never send names, birth times or places. Nothing is stored. Moon, rising, houses and the full combined reading need the website form.
chinese
get_chinese_zodiac_year
Look up a Chinese zodiac year: its animal, stem element, yin-yang, and the Lunar New Year dates it starts and ends on. Use it to explain why a January or February birthday belongs to the previous animal. Needs no personal data.
unified
get_unified_reading_options
List what Unified Reading offers (free sample, free preview, paid full reading), its price, and the pages a person should open. Collects no personal data.

Unified Reading — questions

Answers built from our own checks of this server.

What can Unified Reading do?
It exposes 3 tools, read directly from the server on our last check. Among them: calculate_birth_date_profile, get_chinese_zodiac_year, get_unified_reading_options. 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 Unified Reading working right now?
We send a real MCP handshake every 15 minutes. Over the last 24 hours 0 of 91 checks got a reply (0.0%), average response time 91 ms. The bar chart above shows every period we have measured.
The registry lists Unified Reading as active — why does it not respond?
The official MCP registry stores what the author submitted; it does not verify that the server still runs. We check the endpoint ourselves, and this one does not answer. Catalogues that copy the registry without checking will show it as working.
How do I connect Unified Reading?
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 Unified Reading need an API key?
No. Unified Reading completed a full MCP handshake with us as an anonymous client and listed its tools without asking for anything. All 3 of them are readable on this page. This is what we observed, not what the docs claim.
How many people use Unified Reading?
The npm package unified-reading was installed 87 times in the last week. We show installs rather than GitHub stars on purpose: a star is a bookmark, an install is someone actually running it.
Is Unified Reading open source?
The code is open source: it is published under the ISC licence, written in JavaScript, 0 stars on GitHub and 1 open issue. The licence covers the code in the repository, not the hosted service at unifiedreading.com, which runs on its operator's own terms.
