BDA MCP — Jyotish, Panchang & Sanatan Dharma tools for AI agents

Remote Model Context Protocol server by Bharat Dharma Academy, an Australian registered charity preserving Sanatan Dharma knowledge (ABN 54 683 667 656).

Endpoint: https://jyotish-api.bda.ai/mcp (JSON-RPC 2.0 over HTTPS — no install, no API key for the evaluation tier)

The server exposes 15 public, read-only tools backed by the same deterministic engines that power bda.ai: Swiss-Ephemeris Panchang computation, festival calendars, muhurat windows, Jyotish concept explanations, and a source-grounded Sanatan knowledge corpus with citations and provenance metadata.

Quick start

Any MCP client that supports remote HTTP servers:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "bda-jyotish": {
      "type": "http",
      "url": "https://jyotish-api.bda.ai/mcp"
    }
  }
}

Claude Code:

claude mcp add --transport http bda-jyotish https://jyotish-api.bda.ai/mcp

Raw JSON-RPC:

curl -X POST https://jyotish-api.bda.ai/mcp \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{"jsonrpc":"2.0","id":1,"method":"tools/list"}'
