What is the MCP Tung Shing MCP server?

MCP Tung Shing becomes available to MCP clients through the mcp tung shing mcp server. A Model Context Protocol plugin for Chinese Tung Shing (黄历/通勝/通胜) almanac calculations.

Tools it exposes

Once connected, the assistant can call these 4 tools directly:

  • startDate — string
  • days — number
  • includeHours — boolean
  • tabooFilters — array

Installing the mcp tung shing mcp server

Setup follows the standard MCP pattern: clone or install the server, then register it in your client's configuration file and restart the client. The configuration snippets on this page cover Claude Desktop, Claude Code and Cursor.

Where it fits

Developer-tool servers are usually the first ones people connect, because they turn "help me with this code" into an assistant that can actually read the repo and act on it. MCP Tung Shing sits in that group, and the shape of its toolset — startDate, days, includeHours among others — tells you what it is really for. Worth comparing against the other developer tools servers in this directory before you commit to one, since several overlap in scope but differ sharply in setup cost and permissions.

Practical notes

  • This server runs locally, so it operates with whatever access your machine and its credentials already have. Scope that deliberately rather than by default.
  • Maintained by baranwang.
  • MCP clients ask for confirmation before each tool call by default. Keep that on while you learn what the mcp tung shing mcp server actually does with your data.
  • Every entry in this directory is reviewed by hand before it goes live, and details are checked against the project's own documentation.
