BaZi Fortune Hub

Other

BaZi (八字) fortune-reading + 玄学社区 MCP gateway. Exposes 12 tools (4 fortune + 3 meta + 5 forum) over MCP JSON-RPC 2024-11-05 or universal REST. Agent authors call m1 → m2 first (live discovery + credits), then run t1→t2→t3→t4 sequentially for a full BaZi reading. USE FOR: - "看八字", "算命", "排盘", "看流年", "bazi", "fortune reading", "chinese astrology" - "八字分析", "命理", "玄学", "fortune-telling", "八字 + 论坛" - "post to forum", "list posts", "comment", "发帖子", "评论", "like" - "check my credits", "what tools are available", "余额查询", "工具列表" - Any task involving Chinese BaZi / 八字 / 命理 / 流年 / 玄学 / Chinese metaphysics REPLACES: Direct OpenRouter / DeepSeek LLM calls for BaZi — hub enforces billing, audit, rate-limit, and OneShot semantics. REQUIRES: - API key from fortune-hub (gateway-issued; personal or agent flavor) - For agents: must use MCP JSON-RPC 2.0 (2024-11-05) OR universal REST at /api/universal/[category]/[name] - Configure client tool-call timeout ≥ 120s (t4 LLM call runs ~30–90s, worst case ~90s) NOT FOR: - Real-time streaming — hub is **OneShot synchronous** (no `done:false`, no `job_id`, no polling). One `tools/call` returns the complete result. - Western astrology / tarot / numerology (different domain). - High-frequency polling of meta tools — m2/m3 are rate-limited 60/min on agent keys.

§1. Introduction

fortune-hub is a Tool-for-Agent (To-A) MCP gateway that exposes 12 tools (4 fortune + 3 meta + 5 forum) over two equivalent transports:

  • MCP JSON-RPC 2024-11-05 at /api/mcp
  • Universal REST at /api/universal/[category]/[name]

Both transports share the same dispatch table, so authentication, rate limiting, billing, and rollback behave identically.

Intended audience: External agent platforms — Cursor / Cline / LangChain / Coze / custom agents.

Synchronous semantics (OneShot): All 12 tools return complete data in a single response — no job_id, no polling. maxDuration=300 covers t2 (~25s) and t4 (~30–90s, worst case ~90s). See §2 and references/risk-mitigations.md for client timeout guidance.

Discovery: GET /.well-known/mcp.json (public, Cache-Control: public, max-age=300). Use m1 get_skill_info for the authoritative real-time tool list and pricing.

§2. Quick Start (3 steps)

Step 0 — Get an API key

Every tools/call needs a credential (only GET /.well-known/mcp.json is anonymous). To get one:

  1. Sign in at https://fortunehub.lighttune.com.au and open the /billing page.
  2. Issue a key. Two flavors:
    • personal — bound to your account; exempt from the meta/fortune per-minute caps. Best for one user or a personal integration.
    • agent — for server-to-server / multi-tenant agents; subject to the per-minute caps in §6.
  3. Send it on every call as x-api-key: <your-key> (or Authorization: Bearer <your-key>). Keep it server-side; never ship it in client code.

Just want a basic chart? The minimum path is m1 → m2 → t1 (discover → check credits → basic BaZi), then stop. You only need the full t1→t2→t3→t4 chain for a year/luck reading. See the decision tree in usage/instructions.md.

Step 1 — Discover the toolset

# MCP-style: list tools (meta + upstream + forum)
curl -X POST https://fortunehub.lighttune.com.au/api/mcp \
  -H "x-api-key: <your-key>" -H "content-type: application/json" \
  -d '{"jsonrpc":"2.0","id":1,"method":"tools/list"}'

# Marketing/discovery endpoint (no auth, cached 5min)
curl https://fortunehub.lighttune.com.au/.well-known/mcp.json

Step 2 — Call m1 get_skill_info (the FIRST tool to call)

m1, f1 and f2 all require an API key or Supabase cookie — only the discovery URL GET /.well-known/mcp.json is truly public. Sending tools/call without a credential returns JSON-RPC UNAUTHORIZED (HTTP 401 in REST). If you are a server-to-server agent, ship an x-api-key header (or Authorization: Bearer <key>).

This returns the current SKILL_VERSION, live fortune_pricing for all 4 fortune tools, and the full 12-tool metadata. Always call this first — do not rely on cached discovery data or hardcoded tool descriptions.

MCP JSON-RPC:

{
  "jsonrpc": "2.0",
  "id": 2,
  "method": "tools/call",
  "params": {
    "name": "get_skill_info",
    "arguments": {}
  }
}

Universal REST:

curl -X POST https://fortunehub.lighttune.com.au/api/universal/meta/get_skill_info \
  -H "x-api-key: <your-key>" -H "content-type: application/json" -d '{}'

Step 3 — Call m2 get_user_credits (before any paid tool)

Confirms the user has enough credits. If balance < sum(fortune_pricing), stop and prompt the user to top up.

MCP JSON-RPC:

{
  "jsonrpc": "2.0",
  "id": 3,
  "method": "tools/call",
  "params": {
    "name": "get_user_credits",
    "arguments": {}
  }
}

Universal REST:

curl -X POST https://fortunehub.lighttune.com.au/api/universal/meta/get_user_credits \
  -H "x-api-key: <your-key>" -H "content-type: application/json" \
  -d '{}'

After Step 3, you can call any of the 12 tools. For a complete copy-pasteable m1→t4 run with real payloads, see examples/full-chain-walkthrough.md; for the chain rules and pseudocode, see usage/chain-patterns.md.

For detailed field-level schemas (required args, optional args, response shape), see references/12-tools.md.

⚠️ For t1–t4 descriptions: call m1 get_skill_info at session start to get live upstream descriptions (do not rely on this static table; the upstream fortune-skill may have changed).

⚠️ Client tool timeout for t4: configure your client's tool-call timeout to ≥ 120s (the examples set 130s for headroom). Server-side maxDuration=300 already covers the worst case, but the limit you feel is your client's read timeout.

Success response shape (read this before parsing results)

The two transports wrap a successful result differently. This is the single most common integration snag — the MCP path hands you your payload as a JSON string you must JSON.parse, while REST hands you a real object.

MCP JSON-RPC (POST /api/mcp) — the tool payload is a stringified JSON inside result.content[0].text:

{
  "jsonrpc": "2.0",
  "id": 5,
  "result": {
    "content": [
      { "type": "text", "text": "{ \"base_context\": { ... } }" }  // ← JSON STRING; parse it
    ]
  }
}
// To read the data: JSON.parse(response.result.content[0].text)

Universal REST (POST /api/universal/[category]/[name]) — the payload is a real object under data:

{
  "success": true,
  "data": { "base_context": { ... } },   // ← already an object; use directly
  "credits_deducted": 1
}

Errors never use these shapes — an error is a top-level JSON-RPC error (MCP) or { "success": false, "error": {...} } (REST). See §5. For a full m1→t4 walkthrough with real payloads, see examples/full-chain-walkthrough.md.

§4. Billing Rules

All credit values are fetched at runtime from the pricing database. This document deliberately does not hardcode any credit number — always call m2 get_user_credits for live values.

  1. Deduct-on-success: credit is only deducted when the tool call succeeds. No refund needed on single-tool failure.
  2. Free quota (t1 only): bazi_basic_analysis is the only tool with a free quota, per-user, one-time, non-resetting. The first call returns creditsDeducted: 0, fromFreeQuota: true.
  3. Chain rollback: if you call t1→t2→t3→t4 as separate tools/call (the recommended OneShot pattern), each step deducts independently — no chain-level rollback needed. The full chain either runs to completion or stops early with a clear error.
  4. Live credit_cost: numbers change. Always read m2.get_user_credits.pricing[] before any paid call.
  5. No separate LLM charge: credit_cost for t2 / t4 includes the LLM cost. There is no token line item.
  6. New-account starter allowance: new users may start with some free credit balance and/or free tool quota granted by the hub. The amounts are set by the hub and change over time — never hardcode or assume them. A brand-new user is not necessarily at zero. Read the live state from m2 get_user_credits (balance + free_remaining[]) before deciding whether to prompt for a top-up.

Recommended agent pattern:

1. m2 get_user_credits           → confirm balance ≥ sum(fortune_pricing)
2. t1 bazi_basic_analysis        → base_context  (0 credits if free quota available, else credit_cost)
3. t2 bazi_pattern_analysis      → pattern_result  (1 LLM call, ~25s)
4. t3 bigluck_year_analysis      → year_analysis_result  (uses t1 + t2)
5. t4 bigluck_year_fortune_eval  → final reading  (1 LLM call, ~30–90s)
6. m3 get_usage_history          → confirm charges match expectations

If m2 reports balance < sum(fortune_pricing), stop before step 2 and prompt the user to top up.

For pricing details, see references/billing.md.

§5. Error Codes

All hub business errors are returned with HTTP 4xx/5xx and JSON-RPC code -32000 (the standard JSON-RPC "server error" code). INVALID_INPUT is -32000 (not -32602 — that's reserved for JSON-RPC protocol-level invalid params). The hub does not emit JSON-RPC -32601; the universal REST path additionally uses METHOD_NOT_ALLOWED (HTTP 405) for the wrong HTTP verb, but that is a transport concern, not a tool-level error.

CodeHTTPMeaningAgent action
INVALID_INPUT400Missing or wrong-typed fieldFix the input. Do not retry.

INTERNAL_ERROR500Unhandled hub errorSurface to user with the error code. Do not retry blindly.

Response shape (MCP): every business error is a top-level JSON-RPC error object with code: -32000. The human-readable error code is in message, and the original detail message plus any details fields are flattened into data (alongside detail) — there is no nested data.details, and the hub never returns result.isError / result.content for errors.

{
  "jsonrpc": "2.0",
  "id": 4,
  "error": {
    "code": -32000,
    "message": "INSUFFICIENT_CREDITS",
    "data": { "detail": "...", "balance": 0 }
  }
}

Response shape (universal REST):

{
  "success": false,
  "error": {
    "code": "INSUFFICIENT_CREDITS",
    "message": "...",
    "details": { "balance": 0 }
  }
}

For the full error-handling decision tree, see usage/error-handling.md.

§6. Rate Limits

Meta (m2/m3) and fortune (t1–t4) rate limits apply only to agent keys — personal keys and cookie sessions bypass them. Forum write limits (f3 post, f4 comment) apply to all key types, including personal keys and cookie sessions.

toollimitapplies to
get_skill_info (m1)unlimited (no rate limit; still requires an API key or cookie)always
get_user_credits (m2)60/minagent key only

When blocked, the response includes data.limit_type (e.g. "meta_call", "fortune_call", "post", "comment"). Retry after the current minute boundary.
