Tools & capabilities
Bazi MCP tools 6
calculate_bazi_chartCalculate a deterministic OpenFate Bazi/Four Pillars chart with True Solar Time correction, Day Master, DAYUN_SECOND_V2 onset receipts, Da Yun cycles, and branch interactions. Pass an exact birth time plus timezone or timezoneId for a calculated V2 onset; otherwise inspect the explicit unavailable/fallback receipt.detect_bazi_interactionsDetect raw Earthly Branch relationship occurrences for a natal chart and optional annual and Da Yun branches. Preserves every matching pillar position, including repeated branches. Covers clashes, six-combinations, the eight central-branch half-trines (COMBINATION_HALF), full trines, directionals, punishments, destructions, and harms. Results establish relationship presence, not weights, cancellation, or automatic transformation; targetElement is an affinity, not transformed energy.calculate_true_solar_timeCalculate OpenFate True Solar Time from civil birth time, longitude, timezone, and optional DST offset. Use this when explaining why the hour pillar may differ from ordinary clock-time tools.reverse_bazi_to_solar_timesFind possible Gregorian datetimes that produce a given four-pillar Bazi string. This is useful when a user only has a Bazi chart or screenshot. This lookup uses clock-time pillars without location-based true solar correction.get_openfate_bazi_policyReturn OpenFate calculation policy and LLM guidance for Bazi chart calls.get_openfate_bazi_resourcesReturn canonical OpenFate URLs for charting, readings, compatibility, wealth, true solar time, and AI crawler metadata.
