Julian Day Converter Skill

What this skill does

Let your agent convert between calendar dates and Julian Day Numbers. Call it as an MCP tool for astronomy and historical date math. You switch it on with a single toggle — no SDK and no endpoint wiring — and it answers over MCP or REST using the same key as every other skill.

Ways to use it

One toggle, a new capability

Enable Julian Day Converter and your app or agent can convert julian day on demand — no SDK, no endpoint wiring. It answers over MCP or REST using the same key as every other skill.

A tool agents call themselves

Over MCP, Julian Day Converter appears to your model as the julianday tool it invokes whenever a task needs it — you don't write the glue, the agent reaches for it.

REST from any backend

Prefer to call it directly? Any language that can send a GET can hit Julian Day Converter to convert julian day inline in your own server-side code.

Use it in your app

Once enabled, this skill is reachable two ways — pick whichever fits how you build. Both use the same key.

For AI agentsMCP

It appears to your model as a callable tool. No extra code — the agent invokes it when a task needs it.

For apps & backendsREST

How to connect it over MCP or REST.

How do I add Julian Day Converter to my app or agent?

Enable the Julian Day Converter Skill on VerveKit, then reach it two ways with the same key: over MCP (it appears to your agent as the julianday tool) or over REST (call it from any backend). No SDK to install and no endpoint to wire.

MCP or REST — which should I use?

Both work off one key. Use MCP when an AI agent should decide when to convert julian day — the skill shows up as a callable tool. Use REST when your own server-side code should call it directly. Many apps use both.

Which agents and frameworks does it work with?

Any MCP client — Claude, Cursor, LangChain, and custom agents all speak the Model Context Protocol, so Julian Day Converter appears as a standard tool with nothing skill-specific to integrate.

How many credits does a Julian Day Converter call cost?

Each call costs 1 credit. Every skill rides the same key and the same connection, so enabling more skills doesn't add more integrations to manage.

Do I need to install anything?

No SDK and no endpoint wiring — enabling the skill is a toggle. You point your agent at the VerveKit MCP endpoint (or call REST) and Julian Day Converter is available immediately.

Where does the data come from, and what shows on my bill?

VerveKit runs on APIVerve, our production data engine; Julian Day Converter is one of 300+ skills on the same key. Invoices and card statements show APIVERVE.
