CycleCalcs
CycleCalcs publishes a read-only positional-astronomy engine as both a REST API and a hosted MCP server over the same core: sun and moon rise/set and twilight, moon phases and libration, planet positions and a visibility board, eclipses with per-observer local circumstances, seasons, apsides, lunar nodes, retrograde stations, conjunctions and angular separation, sidereal time, the equation of time, Jupiter's Galilean moons, sky quality and dark-sky windows, place lookup, and a one-call whole-sky snapshot. It returns the named answer and the numbers behind it rather than raw ephemeris, and every response states its frame, epoch, time scale and refraction model. Computed live with the MIT-licensed Astronomy Engine, arcminute class for the Sun, Moon and planets from 1700 to 2200. Twenty-nine GET endpoints, JSON/CSV/TXT, RFC 9457 problem documents, open CORS, and a free tier that needs no key, no signup and no card; paid volume tiers sell through RapidAPI. Pure astronomy — no astrology and no claims that sky events affect people or Earth.
CycleCalcs publishes 29 APIs on the APIs.io network, including Apsides API, Attribution API, Conjunctions API, and 26 more. Tagged areas include Astronomy, Space, Science, Ephemeris, and Sun.
CycleCalcs’ developer surface includes authentication, documentation, API reference, getting-started guide, support, pricing, signup flow, and 28 more developer resources.

Arazzo Workflows 3
Multi-step API workflows described with the Arazzo specification.
Is the next eclipse visible from here
Resolve an observer, then ask the eclipse endpoint for an explicit visible-from-here answer with local contact times.
ARAZZOBuild a sun and moon calendar for a location
One ranged request for the solar day, one for daily moon state, one for the quarter instants — a month of calendar in three calls, not ninety.
ARAZZOTonight's sky for a place
Resolve a place name, take the whole-sky snapshot, then find the dark moonless observing window for the next week.
