What it can do

Tool names and descriptions exactly as the server reported them on Nov 13, 2026. The maker wrote them, not us; we show them as plain text.

  • astro_sky_today

    One-call snapshot of the whole sky for a place and moment: moon phase and illumination, which planets are up and worth looking at, the next eclipse, and (with a location) sun times. Reach for this first when the question is broad, like "what is in the sky tonight". For solar-day

  • astro_sun

    The complete solar day for one location: sunrise, sunset, solar noon, day length, civil, nautical and astronomical twilight boundaries, and explicit polar day/night status at high latitudes. Location required. For a series, send start and end (step is whole days, e.g. "1d" or "7d

  • astro_moon

    The Moon at an instant or as a daily series: phase name and angle, illuminated fraction, distance, apparent size, libration, bright limb, and the next quarter phases. A location adds rise/set and altitude. For a calendar of new and full moons use astro_moon_phases; for the Moon's

  • astro_moon_phases

    Every new moon, quarter and full moon in a window (or the next few from a date): each with its exact instant, distance, apparent size, supermoon classification under both competing definitions, traditional full-moon name, and any eclipse falling on it. Use for "when is the next f

  • astro_positions

    Exact positions for up to 20 bodies at an instant or over a time grid: right ascension and declination in both J2000 and of-date frames, ecliptic longitude and latitude, distance, and, with a location, altitude and azimuth with refraction stated per field. With a location the pos

  • astro_rise_set

    Rise, upper transit, set and lower transit for one body at one location, with an explicit status at extreme latitudes (circumpolar, never rises) instead of missing values. Accepts fixed radec targets. For the Sun specifically, astro_sun returns richer twilight structure; for posi

  • astro_eclipses

    Solar and lunar eclipses: the next or previous from a date, or all in a range, with type, magnitude, obscuration, Saros series and global geometry. A solar eclipse also carries a computed hybrid flag and, when central, the duration, path width and Sun altitude at greatest eclipse

  • astro_dark_window

    The genuinely dark, moonless observing window for a night: astronomical night intersected with the Moon being down, ranked across up to 62 nights with a trend. The right tool for "when should I stargaze / photograph the Milky Way / observe deep-sky objects". Location required. Fo

  • observing_windows

    Is tonight good for observing here, and when? The clear, dark windows of tonight, and of the next nights the hourly cloud forecast covers, for one place: astronomical night with the Moon down (or up, with moon "any"), under the MET Norway cloud forecast. The windows are the ones

  • astro_planet_board

    All eight planets in one call for a date and optional location: constellation, magnitude, apparent size, elongation from the Sun, morning or evening sky, retrograde state with the next station, rise/set, and a worth-looking-tonight assessment. The right tool for "which planets ar

  • astro_planet_events

    Dated planet events. For Mercury and Venus, the apparition cycle: inferior and superior conjunctions, greatest eastern and western elongations, peak brightness (a Venus-only event: Mercury's brightness peaks behind the Sun where it cannot be seen), and the rare transits across th

  • astro_find_place

    Resolve a place name to coordinates, region, country, IANA timezone and a stable place_id, or reverse-look-up the nearest places to a lat/lon. Results are GeoNames data (CC BY 4.0); the response carries the required credit in its attribution field, which must be preserved when re

Common questions

Is CycleCalcs Astronomy safe?

It passed 2 of 3 applicable basic checks. We have not read the code. Before adding a key or token, see what access the server asks for and use a key with only the permissions you need.

What keys or codes does it need?

The registry does not list a required key, though some servers ask you to sign in on first use.

Does it run on my computer or in the cloud?

It runs in the maker’s cloud. Connect over the internet with nothing to install, but what you send passes through the maker’s servers.

Is it still maintained?

The GitHub repo last changed –, and the latest version (1.1.0) reached the registry last month.

Which apps can use it?

Apps that support MCP, such as Claude Desktop, Claude Code, Cursor and VS Code. It connects by URL, so apps that accept remote MCP servers work too, such as ChatGPT on the web (full MCP on Business and above; Pro read-only).

What can I use instead?

In the same category: World Monitor, openstatus, Oh My Posh Validator, Strata, Jitsu
