+## Why OpenEphemeris for AI Agents?
 
-NPM publish
+Most LLMs (like Claude and ChatGPT) struggle heavily with astronomical calculations (trigonometry, Julian date conversions, and Swiss Ephemeris lookups). OpenEphemeris serves as a **secure, remote math engine**.
 
-publish from /c/src/openephemeris/apps/api/mcp-server
-npm login
-npm publish
+By pairing LLMs with the OpenEphemeris MCP server, your agents can instantly access:
+- **Zero-hallucination coordinates**: Direct, sub-arcsecond NASA JPL DE440/DE441 calculations.
+- **LLM-optimized tokens (`format=llm`)**: We compress standard 25,000 token JSON chart responses into minimal text blocks, cutting your inference costs by 50%.
+- **Ready-to-use astrology layers**: Built-in support for Astrocartography geoJSON lines, Hermetic Lots, Fixed Stars, and complex Human Design matrix generation.
