Dosha Detection

check_doshas

Detect 5 classical chart afflictions (doshas). **Manglik** (Mars in 1/2/4/7/8/12, marriage friction), **Kalsarpa** (all 7 visible planets between Rahu and Ketu, for variant typing use 'get_kalsarpa_variants'), **Sadhesati** (7.5-yr Saturn transit, for phase breakdown use 'get_sade_sati_phases'), **Pitra Dosha** (paternal-lineage karma signature), **Kemadruma** (Moon isolation, no planets in 2nd/12th from Moon). Returns '{ doshas: [{ name, plainName, present, severity, details, plainMeaning, cancellations[], remedies[], provenance }] }'. **Read 'provenance' before repeating any of it.** Manglik, Sadhesati and Kemadruma are 'classical' with a locus; **Kalsarpa and Pitra Dosha are 'unsourced'** — no classical text and no page of the 5,045-page KP corpus contains either, so both report 'severity: 'Present'' with no grade, and their invented Severe/Moderate bands were removed (F054). 'plainMeaning' is the reader-facing sentence and assumes no Sanskrit.

Birth data

This tool requires birth data on every call. The MCP server is stateless, so calling set_birth_profile first validates the data and returns the reading plan, but it does not store anything. Repeat the same five fields here.
