Transit and timing

Transit Snapshot

get_transit_analysis

Snapshot transit analysis at a single moment. For precise KP event timing (year/month/day narrowing), use get_transit_timing_hierarchy instead. This tool checks 4 transit rules at one point in time.

Engine endpoint

This tool delegates to the kp-engine endpoint:

POST /v1/kp/transit

The engine is a private internal service. All public access flows through the MCP server, which handles auth, rate limiting, and response compaction.

Birth data

This tool requires birth data. If you have already called set_birth_profile in the same conversation, the MCP server injects those fields automatically and you can omit them from the call.
