Cupid

An interactive rom-com

v0.6 beta

Cupid is an interactive rom-com with astrology as its core "emotional framework."

You play this directly in Claude.1 You'll need a paid account to use MCP Apps.

You play as the divine matchmaker Cupid, guiding a Mortal (your charge, above) through a first complete date with their Match, the potential love interest (chosen by you).

All characters live in New York City, the five beautiful boroughs, but, as in life, most came from somewhere else. They have different professions, obsessions, hang-ups, and, importantly, different astral influences that shape their story of origin, their present-day behavior, proclivities, insecurities ... As in life, they run on a certain inexplicable emotional physics. Here, for our purposes, astrology.

Our AI narrator is a nameless, celestial voice-in-your-ear that you suspect has spent the last millenium on the Upper West Side. They are an advisor in matters of the heart and the stars – you're not totally alone in this. You nudge the character in the right (or wrong) direction at critical decision points, but always with some guidance.

Your job is only the first date. Wedding bells or divorce court are above your pay grade, and best left to the professionals.

Just one complete first-date arc per session. This takes about 10-12 minutes of reading, reflection, and romantic deliberation.


Privacy

The Cupid app is stateless. We do not know who you are or where you're calling from. We're simply passing data and instructions to Claude, and we retain no personal or conversation data. We keep logs of tool calls. Anonymized beancounting. Doesn't make for exciting reading, but lets us know you're there.

You are, however, subject to Anthropic's data policies, available here.

Footnotes

  1. MCP Apps is an extension to the Model Context Protocol that allows interactive UI within Claude. You'll need a paid Claude subscription.

  2. Personas are randomly generated with traditional astrology calculations in the form of a star chart, made using the kerykeion python library. The model, Claude Code using Opus 4.5, interprets the planetary influences to write a biography and character profiles in a batch, using a skill.
