## ⚡ Quick Start

Test the live endpoint in 10 seconds:

```bash
# 1. Health check
curl http://34.163.125.49:8000/health
# → {"status":"ok","service":"karmic-lite-mcp-server"}

# 2. Get planetary transits for a date of birth
curl "http://34.163.125.49:8000/transits/today?dob=1990-05-15"
# → {"date":"1990-05-15","planet_positions":{"sun":"...","moon":"..."}}

# 3. Request a doctrine reading
curl -X POST "http://34.163.125.49:8000/doctrine/reading?dob=1990-05-15&birth_time=14:30" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" -d '{}'
# → {"reading":"...","input_details":{"dob":"...","birth_time":"..."}}
```

## 🎯 What is this?

The **Karmic Gochara MCP Server** is a lightweight FastAPI microservice that exposes astrological calculations through the **Model Context Protocol (MCP)**, making them directly callable by on-device LLMs like **Gemma-4-E4B-it** running inside Google AI Edge Gallery on Pixel devices.

It currently ships **3 MCP tools** (designed to stay within the context window of small local models):

| Tool | Purpose | Input | Output |
|------|---------|-------|--------|
| `get_natal_chart` | Birth chart positions | `dob`, `birth_time`, `birth_place` | Sun, Moon, Ascendant, planets, nodes |
| `get_transits_today` | Current planetary aspects | `natal_data`, `tz` | Aspect list, intensity score, dominant planet |
| `get_doctrine_reading` | Synthetic evolutionary reading | `natal_data`, `transits_data`, `question?` | JSON with 4 doctrinal pillars + insight |

## ☁️ Deployment (GCP Compute Engine)

This server runs on a **GCP e2-small** instance (Ubuntu 22.04, europe-west9-a) as a systemd service.

### Deploy from scratch

```bash
# 1. SSH into your VM
gcloud compute config-ssh  # one-time setup
ssh dev-vm

# 2. Install Python venv system package
sudo apt install -y python3.10-venv python3-pip

# 3. Clone the repo
cd ~ && git clone https://github.com/tripesinn/karmic-mcp.git
cd karmic-mcp

# 4. Setup venv + install deps
python3 -m venv venv
source venv/bin/activate
./venv/bin/python -m ensurepip --default-pip
./venv/bin/pip install -r requirements.txt

# 5. Create systemd service
sudo tee /etc/systemd/system/karmic-mcp.service > /dev/null <<EOF

WantedBy=multi-user.target
EOF

# 6. Enable + start
sudo systemctl daemon-reload
sudo systemctl enable karmic-mcp
sudo systemctl start karmic-mcp

# 7. Open firewall (run from local machine, not the VM)
gcloud compute firewall-rules create allow-karmic-mcp-8000 \
  --project=karmic-gochara-cloud \
  --direction=INGRESS --action=ALLOW --rules=tcp:8000 \
  --source-ranges=0.0.0.0/0 --target-tags=http-server

gcloud compute instances add-tags dev-vm \
  --tags=http-server --zone=europe-west9-a
```

### Useful maintenance commands

```bash
# Status
sudo systemctl status karmic-mcp

# Live logs
sudo journalctl -u karmic-mcp -f

# Restart after code update
cd ~/karmic-mcp && git pull && sudo systemctl restart karmic-mcp
```

## 📱 Edge Gallery Integration

To register this server with **Google AI Edge Gallery**:

1. Open Edge Gallery on your Pixel device
2. Go to **Settings → MCP Servers**
3. Tap **Add custom server**
4. Enter:
   - **Server URL:** `http://34.163.125.49:8000`
   - **Schema URL:** `http://34.163.125.49:8000/mcp/discovery`
5. Save and test by asking Gemma:
   > *"Using the Karmic Gochara MCP server, give me today's planetary transits for someone born on 1990-05-15 at 14:30."*

The 3 MCP tools will become available to Gemma automatically via schema discovery.

## 🧠 Built with Gemma-4-E4B-it (local AI case study)

This entire codebase — FastAPI server, Pydantic models, mock client, deployment scripts, and this README — was **written end-to-end by [Gemma-4-E4B-it](https://huggingface.co/unsloth/gemma-4-E4B-it-UD-MLX-4bit)**, a **4-bit quantized 4B-parameter LLM running locally** on the developer's Mac Mini M4 (16 GB RAM).

### What the model did

| Step | Task | Tool used | Result |
|------|------|-----------|--------|
| 1 | Generated `server.py` (FastAPI + 3 MCP endpoints) | oMLX inference | 183 lines, type-hinted |
| 2 | Wrote `requirements.txt` with pinned deps | oMLX inference | Installed cleanly on Python 3.12 |
| 3 | Authored bilingual README (EN + FR) | oMLX inference | 2,500+ words |
| 4 | Diagnosed & fixed `pydantic-core` build failure | oMLX + terminal | Switched to Python 3.12 venv |
| 5 | Wrote `test_client.sh` validation script | oMLX inference | 3/3 tests pass |
| 6 | Designed the GCP deployment plan | oMLX reasoning | Systemd service + firewall rules |
| 7 | SSH'd into the VM, installed deps, deployed | Hermes Agent delegation | Service live at `http://34.163.125.49:8000` |

### Why this matters

- **No cloud LLM was used.** Zero OpenAI, zero Anthropic, zero Google API calls during development.
- **No copy-paste from StackOverflow.** Every line was generated by a 4 GB-quantized local model.
- **The model handled the full stack:** Python, FastAPI, Pydantic, systemd, GCP firewall rules, GitHub SSH auth, debugging build failures, and writing deployment docs.
- **It's a working proof of concept** that small local models can ship production services — not just chat demos.
