Daily Horoscope MCP Server

Model Context Protocol Interface

Programmatic access to daily horoscope data for AI agents and applications

Overview

The Daily Horoscope MCP Server provides a standardized interface for accessing horoscope data through the Model Context Protocol (MCP). This enables AI agents, applications, and services to integrate daily astrological readings and zodiac information programmatically.

Built on top of the existing Daily Horoscope data foundation, the MCP server maintains full backward compatibility with the Alexa skill while offering a modern, extensible API for new use cases.

• Astrological data visualization

Data Format

Response Structure

All responses follow a consistent JSON structure:

{ "success": true, "data": { ... }, "meta": { "timestamp": "...", "version": "1.0", "locale": "..." } }

Example: Daily Horoscope Response

{ "success": true, "data": { "sign": "Leo", "date": "2024-01-15", "reading": "Today will be a day of great energy..." }, "meta": { "timestamp": "2024-01-15T10:30:00Z", "version": "1.0", "locale": "en-US" } }

Authentication & Security

The MCP server implements several security measures to ensure data integrity and prevent abuse:

• API Keys: Required for all production API calls
• Rate Limiting: Configurable request limits per client
• HTTPS Only: All communications encrypted via TLS
• Input Validation: Strict validation of all request parameters
• Error Handling: Safe error responses without sensitive data

Access Levels

Guest: 10 requests/minute - Basic horoscope data only
Registered: 100 requests/minute - Full access to all endpoints
Enterprise: Custom - All features + priority support

Integration Guide

Quick Start

1. Obtain an API key from the developer portal
2. Configure your MCP client with the server endpoint
3. Implement the required authentication headers
4. Start making API calls to retrieve horoscope data

Code Example (Node.js)

const { MCPClient } = require('@modelcontextprotocol/sdk');
const client = new MCPClient({
  endpoint: 'https://mcp.marksmatters.com/horoscope',
  apiKey: 'YOUR_API_KEY'
});
const horoscope = await client.get('/horoscopes/today/Leo');
console.log(horoscope.data.reading);

Performance & Reliability

Relationship with Alexa Skill

The MCP server shares the same underlying data foundation as the Alexa skill, ensuring consistency across all platforms:

• Shared Data Source: Both platforms use the same horoscope content database
• Consistent Updates: Data updates are synchronized across all platforms
• Backward Compatibility: Alexa skill functionality remains unchanged
• Data Portability: Easy migration between voice and programmatic interfaces

This dual-platform approach allows users to access horoscope data through their preferred interface while maintaining a single source of truth for all astrological content.
