Tutorial / 5 minutes

Your first reading

By the end of this page you will have Lumin connected to Claude, a saved birth profile, and a worked reading on a real life question. No account, no downloads, no code.

Step 1 - Connect Lumin to Claude

Open Claude, then add Lumin as a custom connector. Paste this URL:

https://mcp.lumin.guru/mcp

Claude will register the 50 KP tools Lumin exposes. You will see them listed under your tools panel once the connection is established. The unauthenticated endpoint allows 50 calls per day, which is enough to finish this tutorial and run a full first reading.

Step 2 - Set your birth profile

Tell Claude who the reading is for. Lumin will hold this in context for the whole conversation, so you only set it once.

Set my birth profile:
- Born: 1992-08-14 at 04:32 (IST)
- Place: Colombo, Sri Lanka (6.927N, 79.861E)

If you do not know your exact birth time, ask for birth time rectification later. Lumin can narrow it from known life events.

Step 3 - Ask a real question

Lumin works best with a clear, specific question. Tap any of these to copy it.

• When is marriage timing strongest in the next two years?Copy
• Is a job change favorable in the current dasha?Copy
• What does my chart say about foreign settlement?Copy
• Is my health under stress right now, and when does it clear?Copy

You will see Lumin run between fifteen and forty tool calls in sequence. That is the seven-phase KP reading protocol working through chart, promise, dasha, transits, ruling planets, advanced techniques, and synthesis.

Step 4 - Read the answer

Every answer Lumin gives carries the math: the cuspal sublord, the active dasha lords, the ruling planets, the transit hierarchy. You can verify any claim against the supporting data inline, which is the promise behind "every answer shows the math."

Where to next

• Ask better questions covers the phrasing patterns that get the strongest answers.
• The seven-phase reading walks through what Lumin is doing in those tool calls.
• Tiers and limits covers when you might want to upgrade past 50 calls a day.
