Quickstart

Your first tool call in four steps.

Use any Streamable HTTP MCP client, or send the JSON-RPC sequence directly while developing your integration.

1. Get an API key

Start with the Free plan for 100 monthly calls and four core tools. The same key works across MCP, REST, and Agent HTTP.

2. Initialize

JSON-RPC

{
  "jsonrpc": "2.0",
  "id": 1,
  "method": "initialize",
  "params": {
    "protocolVersion": "2025-11-05",
    "capabilities": {},
    "clientInfo": {
      "name": "my-agent",
      "version": "1.0.0"
    }
  }
}

Send requests to https://api.humandesign.ai/mcp with Authorization: Bearer … or X-Api-Key: ….

3. Discover your tools

JSON-RPC

{
  "jsonrpc": "2.0",
  "id": 2,
  "method": "tools/list",
  "params": {}
}

The response is tier-aware: Free and Creator see four core tools, Startup adds get_transits and full chart detail, and Business adds search_celebrities. Discovery does not consume quota.

4. Call a tool

JSON-RPC

{
  "jsonrpc": "2.0",
  "id": 3,
  "method": "tools/call",
  "params": {
    "name": "generate_chart",
    "arguments": {
      "birthDateTime": "1990-05-15T14:30:00",
      "timezone": "America/New_York",
      "detailLevel": "core"
    }
  }
}

A successful tools/call consumes one API unit. Connection and discovery checks—initialize, ping, and tools/list—do not.
