Claude Desktop Nonlinear Calendar solar_terms
How to: Claude Desktop Nonlinear Calendar solar_terms
Add Nonlinear Calendar to Claude Desktop
-
01
Open ~/Library/Application Support/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json and merge this in. Keep any servers already there.
{
"mcpServers": {
"balance-engine": {
"command": "npx",
"args": [
"-y",
"mcp-remote",
"https://balance-engine.vercel.app/api/mcp"
]
}
}
}-
02
Save the file and restart Claude Desktop.
-
03
Ask for something solar_terms does. Claude Desktop lists the server's tools on connect and calls solar_terms itself — you do not invoke it by name.
-
04
If nothing happens, check the server is running and that Nonlinear Calendar's identifier in your config matches the one above exactly.
Claude Desktop has no remote transport in its config file, so this bridges through mcp-remote. Restart the app after saving. Claude Desktop docs
Set these first
Nonlinear Calendar will not start until these are set, so solar_terms never becomes available.

Same tool, other clients
This list was read from the server itself, by connecting to it and calling tools/list on 24 September 2026. It is what
the server actually exposes, not what its listing claims.
Mutating and Read-only are read off each tool's name, not its schema — a hint, not a guarantee. The registry stores tool names only; connect the server for its live schemas.
