Documentation Overview

OpenEphemeris MCP Server

smithery badge npm version System Status License: MIT Ephemeris: JPL DE440

OpenEphemeris in Claude β€” ask in plain language, get a real computed chart

Model Context Protocol server for OpenEphemeris β€” typed astrology tools powered by the NASA JPL DE440 ephemeris. Zero hallucination on planetary positions, dates, and degrees. Covers 1,100 years of astronomical data.

The catalog: 90 bodies and 124 fixed stars β€” asteroids, trans-Neptunians, Uranian points, computed in one engine

Hosted endpoint: https://mcp.openephemeris.com/mcp (Streamable HTTP, MCP 2025-11-25 spec)

Quick Start

Install via Smithery (recommended)

The fastest way to connect any MCP-compatible client:

Terminal
npx -y @smithery/cli install @open-ephemeris/openephemeris --client claude

Or browse the listing and copy connection snippets: smithery.ai/servers/open-ephemeris/openephemeris


Connect via AI SDK (Vercel AI SDK)

server.ts
import Smithery from "@smithery/api"
import { createMCPClient } from "@ai-sdk/mcp"
import { generateText } from "ai"
import { anthropic } from "@ai-sdk/anthropic"
import { createConnection } from "@smithery/api/mcp"

const smithery = new Smithery()

const conn = await smithery.connections.create("{your-namespace}", {
  mcpUrl: "https://server.smithery.ai/open-ephemeris/openephemeris",
  headers: {
    apiKey: "your-openephemeris-api-key", // get one free at openephemeris.com/dashboard
  },
})

const { transport } = await createConnection({
  client: smithery,
  namespace: "{your-namespace}",
  connectionId: conn.connectionId,
})

const mcpClient = await createMCPClient({ transport })
const tools = await mcpClient.tools()

const { text } = await generateText({
  model: anthropic("claude-sonnet-4-20250514"),
  tools,
  prompt: "Calculate a natal chart for someone born April 15, 1990 at 2:30 PM in Chicago.",
})

await mcpClient.close()

Connect via MCP SDK (TypeScript)

server.ts
import Smithery from "@smithery/api"
import { Client } from "@modelcontextprotocol/sdk/client/index.js"
import { createConnection } from "@smithery/api/mcp"

const smithery = new Smithery()

const conn = await smithery.connections.create("{your-namespace}", {
  mcpUrl: "https://server.smithery.ai/open-ephemeris/openephemeris",
  headers: {
    apiKey: "your-openephemeris-api-key",
  },
})

const { transport } = await createConnection({
  client: smithery,
  namespace: "{your-namespace}",
  connectionId: conn.connectionId,
})

const mcpClient = new Client(
  { name: "my-app", version: "1.0.0" },
  { capabilities: {} }
)
await mcpClient.connect(transport)

const { tools } = await mcpClient.listTools()
const result = await mcpClient.callTool({
  name: "ephemeris_natal_chart",
  // A datetime that states a clock time must state its zone: either pass
  // `timezone` alongside the local time, or put a Z/Β±HH:MM offset on the value.
  arguments: {
    datetime: "1990-04-15T14:30:00",
    timezone: "America/Chicago",
    latitude: 41.8781,
    longitude: -87.6298,
    format: "llm",
  },
})

Connect directly (Streamable HTTP, no Smithery)

server.ts
import { StreamableHTTPClientTransport } from "@modelcontextprotocol/sdk/client/streamableHttp.js"
import { Client } from "@modelcontextprotocol/sdk/client/index.js"

const transport = new StreamableHTTPClientTransport(
  new URL("https://mcp.openephemeris.com/mcp"),
  { requestInit: { headers: { "X-API-Key": "your-openephemeris-api-key" } } }
)

const client = new Client({ name: "my-app", version: "1.0.0" }, { capabilities: {} })
await client.connect(transport)

One-click install (Cursor)

Install in Cursor

Replace YOUR_API_KEY_HERE in Cursor MCP settings with your API key from https://openephemeris.com/dashboard.

Cursor deeplink payload:

config.json
{
  "command": "npx",
  "args": [
    "-y",
    "@openephemeris/mcp-server"
  ],
  "env": {
    "OPENEPHEMERIS_PROFILE": "dev",
    "OPENEPHEMERIS_BACKEND_URL": "https://api.openephemeris.com",
    "OPENEPHEMERIS_API_KEY": "YOUR_API_KEY_HERE"
  }
}

Manual install (stdio MCP clients)

config.json
{
  "mcpServers": {
    "openephemeris": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": ["-y", "@openephemeris/mcp-server"],
      "env": {
        "OPENEPHEMERIS_PROFILE": "dev",
        "OPENEPHEMERIS_BACKEND_URL": "https://api.openephemeris.com",

      }
    }

Client install walkthroughs

  1. Cursor
    • Click the "Install in Cursor" button above, then replace YOUR_API_KEY_HERE in Cursor MCP settings.
    • If you prefer manual setup, paste the mcpServers.openephemeris block from "Manual install" into ~/.cursor/mcp.json.
  2. Claude Desktop (macOS/Windows)
    • Open the platform config file from the table above.
    • Add the same mcpServers.openephemeris block from "Manual install".
    • Restart Claude Desktop.
  3. Windsurf
    • Open ~/.codeium/windsurf/mcp_config.json (or the legacy ~/.codeium/mcp_config.json path).
    • Add the mcpServers.openephemeris block from "Manual install".
    • Restart Windsurf.

Remote-only clients (Claude Web, ChatGPT, etc.)

The server is hosted at https://mcp.openephemeris.com/mcp with full Streamable HTTP support (MCP 2025-11-25 spec). Remote-only clients can connect directly β€” no bridge/proxy required:

  • Claude Web: Add https://mcp.openephemeris.com/mcp as a custom connector URL β€” leave OAuth Client ID and Secret blank. The server uses OAuth 2.1 + PKCE (Dynamic Client Registration), so Claude handles authentication via a browser popup automatically.
  • Via Smithery: Use the Smithery listing for managed connections with any client
  • Legacy SSE: retired in 3.20.0 β€” use Streamable HTTP at /mcp

Auth and upgrade behavior in MCP clients

  • Missing/invalid credentials (401): tool call fails with a message that points users to sign up/sign in at https://openephemeris.com/login?signup=true&redirect=%2Fdashboard%3Ftab%3Daccount, then create/manage keys in https://openephemeris.com/dashboard?tab=account.
  • Tier-gated endpoint (403): tool call returns an upgrade-required message with https://openephemeris.com/pay and dashboard billing/key management link.
  • Monthly quota exhausted (402): tool call returns usage quota guidance with both dashboard (/dashboard?tab=account) and upgrade (/pay) links.
  • Burst/rate limit (429): tool call returns retry guidance and links to dashboard usage monitoring.
