Standardize chart calculations across your VS Code team

`get_planets_positions` provides consistent planetary coordinates to every developer using VS Code Copilot. By sharing the server config in your repo, your entire team tests code against the exact same celestial data. This setup ensures that your VS Code Copilot agent always generates matching code patterns. Developers get immediate access to real degrees without configuring individual API keys.

Test matchmaking algorithms with this MCP Server

`get_matchmaking_details` evaluates birth chart compatibility scores directly inside the VS Code Copilot chat panel. Your team can run test pairs to verify how your application handles complex relationship metrics. The MCP Server returns structured JSON that Copilot uses to draft unit tests. This speeds up the validation of your compatibility features.

Fetch daily panchang data in VS Code Copilot

`get_basic_panchang` retrieves daily calendar metrics directly into your VS Code Copilot environment. Your agent reads this data to help you build and verify custom calendar widgets. You can ask Copilot to verify if your code correctly parses nakshatras and tithis. The agent calls the tool to compare your UI output with the live panchang data.
