Get Daily Horoscopes in Your Terminal

The `get_daily_prediction` tool is perfect for scripting. You can set up a simple cron job that runs `claude mcp call astrologyapi-mcp get_daily_prediction ...` and pipes the output to an email or a Slack message. You can do the same with `get_basic_panchang` to get daily timings. Since Claude Code is just a CLI, you can pipe the JSON output to `jq` for formatting or send it straight to a webhook. It's just text in, text out.

Scripted Chart Analysis for CI/CD

This MCP server lets you run astrological calculations headlessly. From a shell script, you can call `get_planets_positions` and `get_house_positions` to generate a full birth chart as raw JSON. Chain these calls in a bash script to build a complete profile. For example, you can get planet positions, then immediately run `get_yoga_analysis` on that same data, all within one automated workflow in a GitHub Action.

Run Matchmaking from the Command Line

With Claude Code, you can use the `get_matchmaking_details` tool without ever opening a browser. It's a single command that takes two sets of birth data and returns a JSON object with the compatibility analysis. This is great for building bots or other automated services. The data is clean, predictable, and easy to parse, making it a reliable part of any script you write. This MCP setup makes it feel like any other local binary.
