Prayer Time MCP Server

The Prayer Time MCP Server fills a specific niche for developers building AI assistants that need real‑time, accurate Islamic prayer (Salah) schedules. In many faith‑based applications—such as personal planners, mosque notification systems, or prayer reminder bots—developers must fetch location‑specific times that change daily and vary by calculation method. Manually integrating multiple APIs or maintaining a local dataset can be error‑prone and costly. This server abstracts that complexity into a single, well‑defined tool, enabling AI assistants to retrieve prayer times with a simple function call.

At its core, the server exposes one tool: . By supplying latitude, longitude, and a date string in the ISO format (), the tool returns a structured list of prayer times for that day. The underlying implementation leverages established astronomical algorithms, ensuring compatibility with the most common calculation methods used worldwide. Because the data is computed on demand rather than stored, the server always delivers up‑to‑date results without requiring manual updates or external API keys.

Developers benefit from several key advantages:

• Simplicity: The tool’s signature is minimal—only three numeric or string parameters—making it easy to invoke from any MCP‑compatible client.
• Reliability: By performing calculations locally, the server eliminates network latency and external service downtime that could affect user experience.
• Extensibility: The server’s modular design allows future expansion (e.g., adding support for different calculation methods or returning additional metadata) without breaking existing clients.
• Privacy: All computation happens on the client side, so no location data is transmitted to third‑party services.

Typical use cases include:

• A personal AI assistant that reminds users of the next prayer time during a conversation.
• A scheduling tool that blocks out prayer periods in calendar integrations.
• A mosque’s notification system that posts daily times to social media or messaging platforms.

Integration is straightforward: once the server is registered in a client’s MCP configuration, any AI assistant can call as part of a prompt or workflow. The returned times can be formatted, converted to local time zones, or combined with other contextual data (e.g., weather) to enrich the user experience. The server’s lightweight nature ensures it can run locally on a developer machine or be deployed in the cloud, scaling with demand.

In summary, the Prayer Time MCP Server provides a dependable, developer‑friendly gateway to precise Islamic prayer schedules. By encapsulating complex astronomical calculations behind a single, well‑documented tool, it empowers AI assistants to deliver culturally relevant functionality with minimal overhead.
