Vedika MCP Server

@vedika-io/mcp-server

MCP server for the Vedika Intelligence API — astrology, divination and Vastu capabilities across Vedic, Western, KP, Chinese, Tarot, I Ching, Human Design, Numerology, and Ayurvedic domains, exposed as semantic tools for AI agents.

The server calls the documented Vedika API operations. Calculation and interpretation coverage varies by tool and account plan.

Discovery metadata

The server.json descriptor identifies this package as io.github.vedika-io/vedika-mcp-server and uses standard input/output transport. It declares VEDIKA_API_KEY as a required secret environment variable. Supply your key in your MCP client's private environment settings; the descriptor contains no key value.

Quick Start

npm install -g @vedika-io/mcp-server

Get your API key at vedika.io/pricing (starts at $12/mo). No free tier — every query costs money.

Configuration

Where the key goes matters more than which client you use.

• Put it in the gitignored local settings file for your client, never the shared one. A key in a committed config is a key you have published.
• Pin the version. The examples below pin @2.0.9. npx -y @vedika-io/mcp-server with no version resolves whatever npm currently tags latest on every start, so a bad or hijacked release runs the moment it is published, with nothing recording which version you were on.
• Versions before 2.0.4 send your key to whatever VEDIKA_BASE_URL names and follow a redirect while carrying it. Do not pin below 2.0.4.
• The key is a payment credential: every query costs money. Treat it like a card number, not like a setting.

Claude Desktop

Add to ~/Library/Application Support/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "vedika": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": ["-y", "@vedika-io/mcp-server@2.0.9"],

}

Claude Code

Add to .claude/settings.local.json:

Not .claude/settings.json. That file is the shared, checked-in one — a key put there is committed, pushed, and in your history for good. settings.local.json is gitignored and stays on your machine. This README said settings.json until 2026-09-07, and the published 2.0.3 package still does.

Technical Details

• Runtime: Node.js 20+
• Transport: stdio (MCP standard)
• Dependencies: @modelcontextprotocol/sdk, zod (zero other runtime deps)
• HTTP: Native fetch (no axios)
• Idempotency: No idempotency or request-id header is sent unless a tool takes an explicit idempotencyKey (Vastu batch, jobs and vastu_operation). The API reads a caller-sent x-request-id on /v2 as an idempotency claim and refuses it with 422 on endpoints that are not certified for idempotency.
• Retry: One retry with 1s backoff on 5xx for GET requests and for POSTs that carry an idempotencyKey. A billed POST without a key is never retried. 4xx responses, including 402 and 429, are never retried.
• Timeouts: AI chat 90s, POST computation 30s, GET endpoints 15s
• Module format: This package is ESM-only ("type": "module"). Running it via npx/the vedika-mcp-server bin (the normal MCP-client setup above) works regardless of your own project's module format. If you instead import it as a library from a CommonJS project, plain require('@vedika-io/mcp-server') will throw — use a dynamic import instead:

  const { VedikaApiClient } = await import('@vedika-io/mcp-server');

Vastu jobs and artifacts

Call vastu_job_submit with request.operation set to assessments, plan-analyze or plan-report, request.items containing unique {id, input} objects, and a caller-retained idempotencyKey. For a report handoff, use input.format: "html"; JSON reports and plan analyses expose JSON artifacts. Submission returns a stable jobId and maxCharge quote. Each successful item uses the existing single-item price, with no extra job fee; invalid items do not charge.

Use vastu_job_status to poll counts and charges, vastu_job_results to read pages (nextCursor: null ends pagination), and vastu_job_artifact with jobId and itemId to retrieve the exact deliverable and receipt. The same artifact is a read-only resource at vedika://vastu/jobs/{jobId}/items/{itemId}; URL-encode the item ID. Results and artifacts expire after seven days. vastu_job_cancel stops unstarted items; an in-flight item can complete and charge. Use package version 2.0.7 or later for these tools, and confirm that jobs are available on your account. The keyless sandbox returns stateless previews; it cannot retain a job for status or artifact retrieval.
