## 🎯 Key Benefits of MCP Architecture

### 1. **Modularity**
Each MCP server is independent and can be developed/deployed separately.

### 2. **Scalability**
Heavy calculations offloaded to cloud (Modal), UI stays responsive.

### 3. **Resilience**
Automatic fallback chain: Modal → Local (never fails).

### 4. **Extensibility**
Adding new data sources is trivial - just create new MCP server.

### 5. **Interoperability**
Standard protocol means consistent API across all backends.

### 6. **Educational Value**
Gemini AI provides natural language explanations with classical sources.

## 💡 How to Use

### Python API Example:

```python
# Local MCP
from hermes_local_mcp import HermesLocalMCP
server = HermesLocalMCP()
result = server.calculate_essential_dignity("Venus", "Aries", 8.5, True)
print(result['condition'])  # "Very Weak"

# Astro.com MCP
from astrodienst_mcp import AstroDienstMCP
server = AstroDienstMCP()
chart = server.generate_chart("15.01.1990", "12:00", "New York", "USA", "W")
print(chart['house_system'])  # "Whole Sign (Hellenistic)"

# Gemini MCP
from gemini_mcp import GeminiMCP
server = GeminiMCP()  # Set GOOGLE_API_KEY env var for full features
result = server.ask_question("What are essential dignities?")
print(result['answer'] if 'answer' in result else result['fallback'])
```

### Command Line:

```bash
# Test Local MCP
python3 hermes_local_mcp.py

# Test Astro.com MCP
python3 astrodienst_mcp.py
