What is Open Ephemeris?

Open Ephemeris provides accurate planetary positions, aspects, transits, and chart structures through a REST API and MCP server for building astrology apps and automations. It is an approved app in the ChatGPT app directory (one-click install) and a custom connector for Claude; in both, interactive charts render directly in the conversation.

The software uses NASA JPL DE440 data for 120 production endpoints with sub-arcsecond precision across 1,100 years for Sun, Moon, planets, and asteroids. It covers natal charts, transits, returns, progressions, astrocartography, synastry, composite and Davison charts, Human Design, electional timing search, Venus cycles, eclipses, Vedic sidereal charts, BaZi, and more.

The MCP server gives AI assistants 92 astrological tools (a curated 39-tool core surface by default), also usable from Cursor, Windsurf, Gemini CLI, and any MCP client. Adding a format=llm parameter to any endpoint roughly halves token cost. A free tier includes a one-time grant of 150 credits, no card required. Paid plans start at $29/month for 75,000 credits, with wallet top-ups from $5 and custom enterprise infrastructure available. One call returns a complete natal chart for one credit; other charts have varying credit costs.
