Asktian Overview

asktian exposes Chinese metaphysics and decision-support tools through MCP, including daily readings, compatibility analysis, name analysis, and action timing guidance. Read endpoints work without a key through a rate-limited live backend; an optional API key increases limits and unlocks the premium tian.* tier. The best-time tool currently returns a guided preview rather than using a backend endpoint.
