I Ching MCP Server by RoxyAPI

Generate an authentic I-Ching reading using the traditional three-coin casting method. Each of the six lines is determined by virtually tossing three coins, producing values 6-9 where 6 (old yin) and 9 (old yang) are changing lines. Returns the primary hexagram with full interpretation, the line values showing which lines are changing, and if any lines change, the resulting hexagram that the primary transforms into. Optionally provide a seed for reproducible castings. Perfect for divination apps, oracle features, and decision-making tools.

Browse all 64 I-Ching hexagrams from the Book of Changes with their Chinese names, English translations, and trigram compositions. The hexagrams are ordered by the traditional King Wen sequence used in I-Ching divination for 3,000 years. Each hexagram represents a unique life situation combining two trigrams (Heaven, Earth, Thunder, Wind, Water, Fire, Mountain, Lake) into profound wisdom for decision-making and self-understanding.

Find an I-Ching hexagram by its binary line pattern. Provide 6 digits (0 or 1) representing broken (yin) and solid (yang) lines from bottom to top. Use this for custom divination interfaces where users input their own line configurations, or to find hexagrams matching specific trigram combinations. Example: "111111" returns Hexagram 1 (The Creative), "000000" returns Hexagram 2 (The Receptive).

{"lines":"111111"}

Retrieve complete I-Ching hexagram details by King Wen sequence number (1-64). Returns the full hexagram with Chinese name, English translation, judgment text, image text, modern interpretations for general situations, love, career, and decision-making, plus all six changing line meanings. Use this to display detailed hexagram information after casting or for educational reference.

{"number":1}

Receive a random I-Ching hexagram with full interpretation. Perfect for daily oracle features, meditation prompts, or exploring the Book of Changes. Returns complete hexagram data including judgment, image, interpretations for love/career/decisions, and all six changing line meanings.

Retrieve all 8 I-Ching trigrams (bagua), the fundamental building blocks of hexagrams. Each trigram consists of three lines and represents a primal force of nature: Heaven (Qian), Earth (Kun), Thunder (Zhen), Wind (Xun), Water (Kan), Fire (Li), Mountain (Gen), and Lake (Dui). Understanding trigrams is essential for interpreting hexagram meanings, as each hexagram combines an upper and lower trigram.

Receive a daily I-Ching hexagram for guidance and reflection.
