Chinese Zodiac

What it grounds

Ground agents in accurate Chinese zodiac data — animal, element and lunar year — so date answers respect the real Chinese New Year boundary, not January 1st.

Ways to ground with it

Ground answers in real data

Enable Chinese Zodiac and it becomes a tool your agent calls over MCP to check itself against live data before it answers — grounding the response instead of guessing.

On the same endpoint and key

Chinese Zodiac rides the one VerveContext MCP endpoint alongside 300+ other sources, so adding it to an agent is a toggle, not an integration.

Traceable and current

The agent pulls chinese zodiac at answer time and can carry the source with the result, so the reasoning stays current and auditable.

Connect over MCP

Point your agent framework at the VerveContext endpoint. Every enabled source — this one included — becomes a tool the model can call. No per-source plumbing.

How to ground an agent in it over MCP.

How do I give my agent Chinese Zodiac?

Enable it on VerveContext and point your agent framework at the VerveContext MCP endpoint. Chinese Zodiac then appears to the model as a tool named chinesezodiac, which it calls when a task needs it — no per-source plumbing.

Which agents and frameworks can use it?

Any MCP client — Claude, Cursor, LangChain, and custom agents all speak the Model Context Protocol. Chinese Zodiac is exposed as a standard tool, so nothing source-specific is required.

Can the agent cite Chinese Zodiac?

Yes. Chinese Zodiac is verifiable factual grounding — every value the agent pulls can carry Chinese Zodiac as its source, so a person (or another system) can trace where the fact came from.

How many credits does a Chinese Zodiac call cost?

Each call costs 1 credit. Scoped keys let you grant an agent only the sources it should reach, and usage logs show exactly what was pulled to ground each answer.

How current is the data?

Chinese Zodiac is served live from APIVerve's production data engine and pulled at the moment the agent calls it, so answers reflect the world now rather than the model's training cutoff.

Where does the data come from, and what shows on my bill?

VerveContext runs on APIVerve, our production data engine; Chinese Zodiac is one of 300+ sources on the same key. Invoices and card statements show APIVERVE.
