Use With Smithery

Smithery listing:

https://smithery.ai/servers/sinofate/1518-divination

Add it with:

npx -y smithery mcp add sinofate/1518-divination

Or use the hosted endpoint directly:

https://www.1518.com/api/mcp

The server uses Streamable HTTP transport and requires no authentication.

Use With MCP Clients

For clients that support remote Streamable HTTP MCP servers, add:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "1518-divination": {
      "type": "streamable-http",
      "url": "https://www.1518.com/api/mcp"
    }
  }
}

For clients that still expect a local stdio command, use an MCP remote bridge:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "1518-divination": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": ["-y", "mcp-remote", "https://www.1518.com/api/mcp"]
    }
  }
}

Direct JSON-RPC Smoke Test

curl -sS https://www.1518.com/api/mcp \
  -H 'Content-Type: application/json' \
  --data '{"jsonrpc":"2.0","id":1,"method":"tools/list"}'

Expected result: a JSON-RPC response containing 13 tools.

Scope And Safety

1518.com is a traditional folk-culture and naming reference service. The MCP tools provide deterministic calculations and structured reference data. They are not medical, legal, financial, trademark, business-registration or official advice.

Paid detailed narrative reports are not exposed through MCP.
