Install

How do I install the io.github.shaozhengkun123/yarrow MCP server?

io.github.shaozhengkun123/yarrow is a hosted endpoint at https://yarrow-oracle.shaozhengkun.workers.dev/mcp, so there is nothing to install locally. Ready-made configuration for Claude, Cursor, VS Code, Codex and 5 more is on this page, copied from each client's own documentation.

MCP tools · 7 exposed · ~964 tokens

The tools this component advertises to a client, with an estimated token cost for each. Expand a tool to see its parameters and schema. The per-tool counts are indicative and are not scored directly; the schema's total context footprint is one signal in Schema Quality & AI Usability. A tool's description is untrusted text the model reads on every call, which is what makes this list a security surface and not just an inventory: how tool poisoning works →

Tool Tokens
cast_hexagram ~171

Cast a hexagram for an I-Ching consultation. Returns the primary hexagram, the six lines (6=old yin, 7=young yang, 8=young yin, 9=old yang from bottom to top), any moving lines, and the changing hexagram if there are moving lines. Pass `seed` to make the cast deterministic (useful for testing or for reproducing a reading).

NameTypeReqDescription
methodstring–coins = three-coin toss (most common); yarrow = traditional 50-stalk probabilities; random = uniformly pick one of the 64 hexagrams with no moving lines.
questionstring–The question being asked (not used for casting, returned in result for context).
seedstring|number–Optional seed for deterministic casting.

No output schema declared.

No examples provided.

cast_tarot ~96

Draw one upright Major Arcana card for reflection. Uses a deterministic one-card Waite-Smith Major Arcana method and returns a selected source excerpt from Arthur Edward Waite's public-domain 1910/1922 text. Pass `seed` to reproduce the same draw.

NameTypeReqDescription
questionstring–The question being reflected on (not used to influence the draw).
seedstring|number–Optional deterministic draw seed.

No output schema declared.

No examples provided.

divine ~190

Ask the I Ching. See your next step. Cast a hexagram, show the classical sources first, then offer a thoughtful reflection grounded in those sources. Sources first. Reflection, not prediction. The divine name remains stable for oracle/divination client compatibility. Supports English, Chinese, Japanese, Korean, Spanish, French, German, Portuguese, Italian, Russian, Arabic, Hindi, Indonesian, and English+Chinese bilingual output. Daily quota: 30 completed readings per device_id (or per anonymous IP if no device_id is supplied); timeout, provider failure, incomplete response, and cancellation do not consume it.

NameTypeReqDescription
device_idstring–Optional opaque identifier for quota tracking. If omitted, IP-derived.
localestring––
methodstring––
questionstringyesThe question to consult on.
seedstring|number–Deterministic cast seed.

No output schema declared.

No examples provided.

lookup_hexagram ~122

Return the full classical sources for a hexagram by its number (1–64): judgment (卦辞), image (大象), Tuan commentary, Zhu Xi 周易本义, Yang Tian Cai modern explanation, Yarrow's separately labelled Chinese reading aid, and historical anecdote — with available Chinese and English source material.

NameTypeReqDescription
compactboolean–If true, omit authorities (long classical commentary). Returns only structural fields.
localestring––
numberintegeryesHexagram number 1-64 in King Wen sequence.

No output schema declared.

No examples provided.

lookup_yilin ~74

Look up the 焦氏易林 verse for a primary hexagram changing into another hexagram. This is a local classical-source lookup, not an AI reading.

NameTypeReqDescription
changing_numberintegeryesChanging hexagram number 1-64.
primary_numberintegeryesPrimary hexagram number 1-64.

No output schema declared.

No examples provided.

tarot_reading ~140

Ask one real question through a single upright Waite-Smith Major Arcana card. Returns a direct calibrated answer first, the named card and bound Arthur Edward Waite 1910 source excerpt, a practical reality check, and one observable next step. No reversals, astrology, redraw loop, or guaranteed prediction. Daily quota is shared with completed divine and Two Lenses readings.

NameTypeReqDescription
device_idstring–Optional opaque identifier for quota tracking. If omitted, IP-derived.
localestring––
questionstringyesThe real question to reflect on.
seedstring|number–Deterministic Tarot draw seed.

No output schema declared.

No examples provided.

two_lenses ~171

Bring one real question to two independent symbolic traditions: a source-first I-Ching cast and one upright Waite-Smith Major Arcana card. Returns a clear calibrated answer first, then five grounded sections covering the I Ching lens, Tarot lens, shared themes, different emphasis, and next step. Direction without guaranteed prediction or mutual-confirmation claims. Daily quota is shared with completed divine readings.

NameTypeReqDescription
device_idstring–Optional opaque identifier for quota tracking. If omitted, IP-derived.
iching_seedstring|number–Deterministic I-Ching cast seed.
localestring––
methodstring––
questionstringyesThe same real question for both lenses.
tarot_seedstring|number–Deterministic Tarot draw seed.

io.github.shaozhengkun123/yarrow exposes 7 tools: cast_hexagram, lookup_hexagram, lookup_yilin, cast_tarot, divine, and 2 more. Their descriptions and schemas cost roughly 964 tokens of context every time the server is loaded.

Does the io.github.shaozhengkun123/yarrow MCP server require authentication?

No. We connected to io.github.shaozhengkun123/yarrow without credentials and it answered, so anything it exposes is reachable by anyone who knows the address.

Is the io.github.shaozhengkun123/yarrow MCP server still maintained?

io.github.shaozhengkun123/yarrow is still listed as active in the MCP registry. We last reached this channel on 28 September 2026. Those dates come from our own scans of the registry and the channel itself, not from anything the publisher announced.
