Documentation Overview

BDA MCP — Jyotish, Panchang & Sanatan Dharma tools for AI agents

Remote Model Context Protocol server by Bharat Dharma Academy, an Australian registered charity preserving Sanatan Dharma knowledge (ABN 54 683 667 656).

Endpoint: https://jyotish-api.bda.ai/mcp (JSON-RPC 2.0 over HTTPS — no install, no API key for the evaluation tier)

The server exposes 15 public, read-only tools backed by the same deterministic engines that power bda.ai: Swiss-Ephemeris Panchang computation, festival calendars, muhurat windows, Jyotish concept explanations, and a source-grounded Sanatan knowledge corpus with citations and provenance metadata.
