Alfanous - Quranic Search Engine

Overview

Alfanous - Quranic Search Engine is a Model Context Protocol (MCP) server: Search and explore the Holy Qur'an with Arabic text, transliteration, and advanced search support. Because it speaks the Model Context Protocol, AI assistants can use Alfanous - Quranic Search Engine as a set of callable tools instead of you copy-pasting between apps.

It runs locally: the Python package alfanous3-mcp (via uvx) speaks MCP over stdio on your machine. No credentials are required — it works out of the box. The current release is v1.9.4, published under the LGPL-3.0 license, with source at Alfanous-team/alfanous on GitHub, where it has earned 288 stars.

On mcp.site, Alfanous - Quranic Search Engine sits in the Development category. Any MCP client can use it — Claude Desktop, Claude Code, Cursor, VS Code, Windsurf, Zed among them — via the install snippets below.
