China Calendar & Lunar MCP

Chinese calendar tools for AI agents: statutory public holidays & makeup-workday schedules (2025–2026, per the State Council of China) plus accurate solar-to-lunar calendar conversion (lunar date, zodiac animal, ganzhi / heavenly-stems-earthly-branches).

Try it in 30 seconds: a free public MCP endpoint is already running — just paste the URL into your MCP client (no install, no API key).
Or self-host: a small FastMCP server; holiday data is bundled locally, lunar conversion uses the sxtwl ephemeris library (pure-Python lunardate fallback supported).

⚡ Use the hosted endpoint (no setup)

https://mcp.pianam.cn/calendar-mcp/mcp

Transport: Streamable HTTP (MCP 2025-03-26 compatible). No authentication required.

🔌 Client configuration

Add this to your MCP client's mcpServers configuration (Claude Desktop claude_desktop_config.json, Cursor mcp.json, Cline, Cherry Studio, etc.):

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "calendar": {
      "type": "http",
      "url": "https://mcp.pianam.cn/calendar-mcp/mcp"
    }
  }
}

Clients that do not accept "type": "http" accept the same entry with just "url".

🧰 Tools

Tool	Parameters	Returns
`query_holiday(date)`	`date`: solar date `YYYY-MM-DD`, e.g. `"2026-10-01"`.	Weekday, holiday name (if any), day type — public holiday off-day / makeup workday / normal workday / weekend — plus the lunar date for that day.
`solar_to_lunar(year, month, day)`	`year`/`month`/`day`: solar date integers.	Lunar year/month/day, leap-month flag, lunar date string (Chinese), zodiac animal, and year/month/day ganzhi (干支).
`list_holidays(year)`	`year`: integer year, e.g. `2026`.	All statutory holidays of the year: name, off-day count, date ranges, exact off dates and makeup-workday dates.

Examples

"2026-10-01 是节假日吗？" → National Day holiday, with lunar date attached.
"2026-02-17 农历是多少？" → lunar date, zodiac, ganzhi.
"列出 2026 年全部法定节假日和调休安排" → full year schedule.

📡 Data

Holidays: official holiday-arrangement notices issued by the General Office of the State Council of China (国务院办公厅). Bundled locally for 2025 and 2026; extend HOLIDAY_DATA to add more years.
Lunar conversion: sxtwl (ShouWang calendar ephemeris, C extension). If sxtwl is unavailable the server automatically falls back to the pure-Python lunardate library (install it separately).
No external HTTP API and no API key is required.

🐢 Self-hosting

git clone https://github.com/boy-373/calendar-mcp.git
cd calendar-mcp
pip install -r requirements.txt
python server.py
# listens on 127.0.0.1:8000 by default; override with:
#   MCP_HOST=0.0.0.0 MCP_PORT=9000 python server.py
# behind a reverse proxy, allow your public hostname:
#   MCP_ALLOWED_HOSTS="your-domain.com,your-domain.com:*" python server.py

Then point your MCP client at http://127.0.0.1:8000/mcp.

You can also run the server with uv:

uv venv && uv pip install -r requirements.txt
uv run python server.py
