Documentation Overview

Wasilah MCP

A remote Model Context Protocol server that exposes Wasilah's Islamic reference data to Claude as a custom connector. Add the URL in Claude and it can answer prayer-time, Qibla, Hijri-date, and Quran-audio questions directly.

Prayer times are computed with the same astronomy engine as the Wasilah app (ported from lib/features/prayer_times/prayer_astronomy.dart), so the connector and the app agree to the minute for the same location, date, method, and madhab.

Tools

Tool	What it returns
`get_prayer_times`	The five daily prayers plus sunrise for a city or coordinates. Marks Dhuhr as Jumu'ah on Fridays.
`get_next_prayer`	The next upcoming prayer and time remaining.
`get_qibla`	Compass bearing to the Kaaba.
`get_hijri_date`	Islamic date for a given Gregorian date (Umm al-Qura, with a tabular fallback).
`get_quran_audio`	A streaming full-surah recitation URL plus surah name and ayah count.

Every location tool accepts either a city name (resolved against a bundled offline database) or explicit latitude + longitude + timezone. Prayer tools also accept method (Karachi, ISNA, MWL, Umm al-Qura, and others) and asr (auto, shafii, hanafi). The connector makes no external network calls.

Run locally

Terminal

npm install
npm test        # exercises every tool through the MCP endpoint, no server needed
npm run dev     # serves the worker on http://localhost:8787

With the dev server running, point the MCP Inspector at http://localhost:8787/mcp to browse and call the tools interactively.

Deploy (Cloudflare Workers)

Terminal

npx wrangler login
npm run deploy

Wrangler prints the deployed URL, for example https://wasilah-mcp.<subdomain>.workers.dev. The connector endpoint is that URL plus /mcp. Visiting the root URL serves a short landing page with the connector URL and setup steps.

Add to Claude

Settings, then Connectors.
Add custom connector.
Paste https://<your-worker-url>/mcp.
Ask something like "What time is Maghrib in Dhaka today?" or "Which way is the Qibla from Madinah?"

This server is authless and stateless. It exposes only public reference data; it holds no personal information and needs no sign-in.

Notes

Prayer parity. Calculation-method angles, the Asr shadow factors, and the solar geometry mirror the app exactly. The app's default is Karachi method with Hanafi Asr.
Hijri source. Uses the Umm al-Qura calendar where the runtime's ICU supports it, and a tabular calculation otherwise. A tabular date can differ from a moon-sighting announcement by a day.
Fully offline. The connector makes no external API calls. City lookups use a bundled offline database (a subset of GeoNames, CC BY 4.0: top cities per country plus every capital); prayer times, Qibla, and Hijri date are computed on the server. Pass coordinates directly for places not in the database.
Personal data is out of scope. This server does not touch the on-device Salah tracker. Exposing per-user history would require a Wasilah backend with accounts and OAuth.
