Overview

The arabicfmt-mcp MCP server exposes Arabic-first formatting capabilities based on the zero-dependency arabicfmt JavaScript and TypeScript library. It covers 22 Arab League currencies, deterministic Umm al-Qura Hijri dates, Arabic number-to-words, تفقيط, plural selection, parsing, and bidirectional text handling. Reach for it when an agent needs to format or validate Arabic financial, date, numeric, or interface text.

Use cases

  • Format Arab currency amounts with locale-specific precision
  • Convert Gregorian dates to deterministic Umm al-Qura Hijri dates
  • Spell Arabic numbers and monetary values for invoices or cheques
  • Parse Eastern Arabic numerals and formatted currency strings
  • Protect phone numbers and other Latin text inside RTL sentences

Key features

  • Supports currencies from 22 Arab League countries
  • Formats deterministic Umm al-Qura Hijri dates
  • Converts numbers and money to Arabic words
  • Provides six-form Arabic plural selection
  • Parses Arabic numerals and validates IBANs and Saudi IDs
  • Handles RTL isolation and Unicode currency-sign transitions

How Arabicfmt MCP works

What arabicfmt-mcp MCP server does

The arabicfmt-mcp MCP server is based on arabicfmt, an Arabic-first JavaScript and TypeScript formatting library. Its documented capability set covers currency output, Hijri dates, Arabic words for numbers, cheque-style monetary spelling, plural rules, RTL text isolation, parsing, locale detection, and related formatting tasks.

Currency handling includes all 22 Arab League countries. The library distinguishes the Saudi riyal sign U+20C1 from the older Iranian rial symbol, supports the Unicode 18.0 transition signs for SAR, MVR, AED, and OMR, and applies currency-specific precision. Iraqi dinars use three decimal places according to the documented ISO 4217 rule. Ranges, compact amounts, accounting-style negatives, and typed currency parts are also supported.

How it works

The underlying package provides typed JavaScript and TypeScript functions rather than relying on runtime dependencies. Currency formatting accepts a numeric value and options such as currency, locale, numeral style, and accounting mode. Separate functions can return typed parts, parse formatted currency back to a number, or report the status of a currency-sign transition for a date.

Hijri conversion uses frozen Umm al-Qura tables through the umalqura subpath.

Arabic language features include six CLDR plural categories, gender-aware ordinals, number-to-words conversion, and تفقيط for monetary amounts. Text utilities isolate foreign left-to-right runs, normalize search text, create URL slugs, and parse Eastern Arabic digits. Validation helpers cover ISO 7064 mod-97 IBAN checks and Saudi national ID or Iqama check digits.

Setup and configuration

The documented package installation is:

Terminal
npm install arabicfmt

Yarn and pnpm commands are also provided. The package requires Node.js 18 or later; TypeScript 4.7 or later is optional. It has zero runtime dependencies and includes TypeScript types.

A browser build can be imported directly from jsDelivr or unpkg without a bundler.

Tools and capabilities

Documented underlying functions include:

  • formatCurrency, formatCurrencyRange, and formatCurrencyToParts
  • formatHijri and toHijri
  • arabicToWords and spellCurrency
  • arabicPlural, arabicOrdinal, and formatDuration
  • parseCurrency and parseNumber
  • isolateForeign, normalizeForSearch, and slugify
  • isValidIBAN and isValidSaudiId
  • formatCompact, formatFileSize, formatRelativeTime, and formatList
  • transitionStatus and signFontFaceCSS

These are library exports documented by the source README. The material does not map them to named MCP tools, input schemas, or output schemas, so an agent integration should verify that mapping separately.

Limitations and notes

The arabicfmt-mcp MCP server's README details the underlying formatter, not the MCP wrapper. It does not identify supported MCP clients, a transport protocol, server launch arguments, authentication, remote services, or environment variables. It also does not document whether every library export is exposed through MCP.

The library is designed for Arabic formatting, but the documented outputs can use either Arabic or Latin numerals depending on options. New Unicode currency signs may require the generated signFontFaceCSS output and an appropriate font to render correctly. For production browser use, the README recommends pinning the CDN package version.
