BaZi Basic Calculator MCP for AI. Map a life profile using birth date and time.

Q: How do I start a BaZi reading using calculatefourpillars?

You just provide the client's full birth date and time to calculatefourpillars. The tool immediately delivers the four pillars, giving you the fundamental structure for your reading.

Q: What if I need to check a component’s element? Should I use lookupcomponentproperties?

Yes. Use lookupcomponentproperties when you need to verify the basic nature, like checking if a specific Branch is Yin or Yang. It's a quick data retrieval step.

Works with Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor, and more

The Model Context Protocol standardizes how applications expose capabilities to LLMs. Instead of operating in isolation, your AI gains direct access to external platforms, live data, and real-world actions through secure, standardized connections.

This connection provides 3 powerful capabilities that interface natively with Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor, and other compatible AI platforms. No middleware. No custom integration required.

Reading life charts used to mean hours of manual reference work.

When you're doing a full reading, you typically start with basic input. Then, you have to manually cross-reference every single component in the four pillars against massive historical and elemental tables just to confirm its properties. That takes hours of clicking through tabs and copy-pasting data between reference sheets.

Now, your agent handles that complexity. You feed the date and time into this MCP's `calculate_four_pillars` tool, getting the core structure instantly. Then, you use other tools in the suite to analyze relationships without ever touching a dusty textbook again.

Identify Elemental Interactions

You no longer need separate flowcharts or reference guides just to see how Wood and Water relate. The `identify_elemental_interaction` tool handles the logic. You simply tell it which two elements you're comparing.

It instantly tells you if one element generates, controls, or is neutral to the other. This makes your final interpretation much sharper and faster.

What your AI can actually do with this

Ever needed to read someone’s personal constitution using their birth details? This connector handles the Four Pillars of Destiny (BaZi) analysis. You simply input a person's date and time of birth, and the system derives their core elemental makeup—the Heavenly Stems and Earthly Branches that define them. From those pillars, you can map out how different elements interact with each other to form a complete profile.

It’s more than just calculating; it helps you see the underlying relationships between Wood, Fire, Water, and so on. Because this is such specialized analysis, we put it in the Vinkius catalog so your agent can access it alongside thousands of other tools.

What Changes When You Connect

You get the full Four Pillars instantly. Instead of manual calculations, run calculate_four_pillars to derive all necessary Heavenly Stems and Earthly Branches from just a birth date and time.

Pinpoint elemental details fast. Use lookup_component_properties to verify the element or polarity of any specific Stem or Branch without consulting external charts.

Understand dynamics right away. Run identify_elemental_interaction to see if one force supports another, like Water generating Wood.

Build a full analysis chain. You can combine tools, for example using lookup_component_properties results within your broader interpretation flow.

Cut down on manual cross-referencing. All elemental data is housed in the Vinkius catalog, letting your agent access it alongside thousands of other specialized functions.

See it in action

01 01

Analyzing a New Client's Potential

A client gives you their birth date. You use calculate_four_pillars to map the four pillars. Then, you feed two key components into identify_elemental_interaction to see if there’s an inherent conflict or strong partnership in their chart.

02 02

Verifying a Component's Meaning

You get a Stem name but aren't sure of its polarity. You run lookup_component_properties on the Stem to confirm if it’s Yang or Yin, ensuring your final reading is accurate.

03 03

Comparing Two Life Phases

You calculate two different sets of pillars (e.g., birth vs. current year). You then use identify_elemental_interaction to compare the elements from both periods and see how they relate.

The honest tradeoffs

Treating Pillars as Random Data

Anti-pattern

Just listing out the Stems and Branches for a client without context. This gives zero actionable insight.

The Fix

First, use calculate_four_pillars to get the full set. Then, run through identify_elemental_interaction on key pairs to explain why those elements matter.

Manual Element Lookups

Anti-pattern

Opening a massive reference chart or book just to confirm if 'Metal' is Yang or Yin.

The Fix

Use lookup_component_properties right in your agent flow. It gives you the polarity and element instantly, keeping your process fast.

When It Fits, When It Doesn't

Use this MCP when your analysis requires mapping a person’s entire life profile based on time and date of birth. If you only need to check one isolated piece of data (like just knowing if 'Fire' is Yang), you might be able to use a simpler lookup tool. But because BaZi involves three distinct layers—the initial calculation, the component properties, and the relationship mapping—you need this suite. Don't try to interpret complex elemental relationships without running identify_elemental_interaction first; it’s key to making sense of the whole picture.

Questions you might have

How do I start a BaZi reading using calculate_four_pillars? +

You just provide the client's full birth date and time to calculate_four_pillars. The tool immediately delivers the four pillars, giving you the fundamental structure for your reading.

What if I need to check a component’s element? Should I use lookup_component_properties? +

Yes. Use lookup_component_properties when you need to verify the basic nature, like checking if a specific Branch is Yin or Yang. It's a quick data retrieval step.

Does identify_elemental_interaction tell me everything about the person? +

No. That tool only maps the relationship between two elements you name. You have to use it alongside calculate_four_pillars and lookup_component_properties for a full picture.

Is this MCP better than using static astrology charts? +

Yes, because it's dynamic. Instead of just showing data, the MCP allows your agent to run specific analyses—like checking elemental relationships—based on live user input and complex logic.

If I use calculate_four_pillars and provide incomplete or invalid date information, how does the MCP handle it? +

The system validates inputs before running any calculation. If the birth date is missing a component (like time zone or year), you'll get an explicit error message detailing exactly which piece of data needs correction.

Are there rate limits if I run many element interactions using identify_elemental_interaction? +

Vinkius manages standard rate limiting for all users. If you're running high-volume, repetitive checks, keep an eye on the usage quotas displayed in your client dashboard; this ensures reliable performance.

Can I process multiple components at once when using lookup_component_properties? +

While designed to look up one component at a time, you can chain calls or pass an array of inputs depending on your client's capabilities. This allows for efficient analysis of several Stems and Branches in sequence.

What happens if I try to identify the relationship between two elements that are not standard Chinese components? +

The MCP requires recognized Heavenly Stems or Earthly Branches as input. If you provide non-standard terms, the tool will return a specific error code indicating an unrecognized component.

What is the Four Pillars of Destiny? +

It is a traditional system that analyzes an individual's destiny by dividing their birth moment into four pillars: Year, Month, Day, and Hour.

How do I use the `calculate_four_pillars` tool? +

Provide the year, month, day, and hour of birth in Gregorian format to get the corresponding Heavenly Stems and Earthly Branches.

Can I check elemental relationships? +

Yes, use the identify_elemental_interaction tool to see if one element generates or overcomes another.
