Quran Overview

The Quran MCP server exposes Quran chapter metadata, complete surahs, individual ayahs, and keyword search through MCP. It connects to the Al-Quran Cloud API through the Pipeworx gateway, with a hosted endpoint and a standalone npm-based stdio option. Use it when an agent needs to retrieve Arabic text, supported English translations, verse references, or searchable Quran content. The gateway endpoint also exposes shared Pipeworx tools, while the local package provides only the Quran tools.

Primary Use Cases for Quran:
  • List Quran chapters and their metadata
  • Retrieve a complete surah in Arabic or English
  • Look up an ayah by chapter and verse
  • Search Quran translations for a keyword
