## Install

### How to install HinduCalendar — panchang, festivals & muhurta in Claude Code

1. Add the server

```bash
claude mcp add --transport http hinducalendar https://hinducalendar.app/mcp
```

2. Verify it's connected

```bash
claude mcp list
```

3. Sharing it with your team?

   Add `--scope project` to write it to .mcp.json in the repository root, which you can commit (with the secrets left as environment variables).

### How to install HinduCalendar — panchang, festivals & muhurta in Claude Desktop

1. Open your MCP config

   macOS: ~/Library/Application Support/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json · Windows: %APPDATA%\Claude\claude_desktop_config.json

2. Add this server

```json
{
  "mcpServers": {
    "hinducalendar": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": [
        "-y",
        "mcp-remote",
        "https://hinducalendar.app/mcp"
      ]
    }
  }
}
```

3. Why the wrapper?

   This is a remote (HTTP) server and Claude Desktop only launches local processes, so mcp-remote proxies the connection. It will open a browser window if the server needs OAuth.

4. Restart Claude Desktop

   The tools appear under the 🔌 menu once the app reloads.

### How to install HinduCalendar — panchang, festivals & muhurta in Cursor

1. Create / edit .cursor/mcp.json in your project

    "hinducalendar": {
      "url": "https://hinducalendar.app/mcp"

```toml
[mcp_servers.hinducalendar]
command = "npx"
args = ["-y", "mcp-remote", "https://hinducalendar.app/mcp"]
```

2. Why the wrapper?

   Codex runs MCP servers as local processes, so mcp-remote bridges this HTTP endpoint to stdio.

3. Run Codex

   Codex loads MCP servers from config.toml on startup and exposes their tools to the agent.

## Tools

- `get_panchang` —  Full daily panchang for a date and place — computed by the same panchang-core engine the HinduCalendar Android app ships, so the values are identical to the app (not an approximation). Returns the five limbs at sunrise (tithi, nakshatra, yoga, karana, vaar) each with its END TIME, paksha, lunar month in both amavasyant and purnimant conventions (with adhik maas flag), Vikram/Shaka/Kali/Gujarati s
- `get_festival_dates` —  Exact dates of major Hindu festivals for any year, computed live by the same engine the HinduCalendar app uses — never guess a festival date, always use this. Covers the tithi-anchored festivals (Diwali, Holi, Krishna Janmashtami, Ganesh Chaturthi, Rama Navami, Maha Shivaratri, Raksha Bandhan, Dhanteras, Karva Chauth, Chhath, Vasant Panchami, Gudi Padwa, Akshaya Tritiya, the purnimas, Navratri fr
- `get_muhurat_windows` —  Dated windows of the auspicious muhurta yogas and the observance periods — the "when are the vivah muhurats in 2026?" and "when is Chaturmas?" family. Computed live by panchang-core's MuhurtaFinder, the same engine behind the app's Muhurta Finder and the hinducalendar.app muhurat pages. Twenty presets in two categories: • yoga — Sarvarth Siddhi, Amrit Siddhi, Guru Pushya, Ravi Pushya, Ravi, Dwipu
- `get_birth_details` —  Return birth star (nakshatra), birth name syllable (naam akshar / pada), Chandra rashi (Moon sign), and Lagna rashi (ascendant sign) for a child born at the given time and location — all from the app's own engine, so they match the HinduCalendar app's kundali exactly. Args: time: ISO 8601 datetime of birth (e.g. "2025-08-15T10:30:00Z"). Include timezone offset if known (e.g. "2025-08-15T10:30:00+
- `get_muhurta` —  Muhurta for a moment and place, exactly as the HinduCalendar app computes it — and, with full_day=True, the whole day's grid. By default returns only what is ACTIVE at the instant given: - Current lagna (ascendant sign active at that moment) - Current choghadiya (day or night slot) - Current hora (planetary hour) - Any ongoing special muhurtas (Rahu Kalam, Yama Ghanta, Guli Kalam, Abhijit, Dur Mu
