How to Set Up and Use Azan
The Azan MCP server is a lightweight Islamic prayer-time toolkit that exposes 34 tools covering prayer schedules, Azan text, Hijri calendar conversion, du'a and dhikr collections, Zakat calculation, and the 99 Names of Allah — all accessible from any MCP-compatible AI agent. It handles the full astronomical calculation pipeline internally, so you can integrate accurate prayer times into an application or AI workflow without writing a single line of calendar math. Configured with a latitude, longitude, timezone, and calculation method, it works for any location worldwide and supports multiple madhabs and Iqama offsets. This makes it ideal for building Islamic apps, prayer-time bots, or AI agents that need religiously accurate scheduling.
Prerequisites
- Python 3.12 or later
- uv package manager installed (curl -LsSf https://astral.sh/uv/install.sh | sh)
- Your geographic coordinates (latitude, longitude) and timezone string (e.g. 'Asia/Riyadh')
- An MCP-compatible client such as Claude Desktop or Claude Code
Install uv
The server is published to PyPI and runs via uvx, which is part of the uv toolchain.
curl -LsSf https://astral.sh/uv/install.sh | shCreate an azan-config.json file
Create a configuration file with your location, timezone, calculation method, and optional Iqama offsets. The calculation_method should match your region (e.g. umm_al_qura for Saudi Arabia, isna for North America).
{
"latitude": 21.3891,
"longitude": 39.8579,
"timezone": "Asia/Riyadh",
"calculation_method": "umm_al_qura",
"madhab": "shafi",
"iqama_offsets": {
"fajr": 20,
"dhuhr": 10,
"asr": 10,
"maghrib": 5,

}
}Test the server directly
Run the server once from the command line to verify it starts without errors before adding it to a client.

}Prompts to try
Example questions and tasks you can ask your AI assistant once the Azan server is connected.
- "What are today's five prayer times for my location?"
- "When is the next prayer, and how many minutes away is it?"
- "Convert today's Gregorian date to the Hijri calendar."
- "What is the Qibla direction from my coordinates?"
- "Calculate my Zakat obligation on 500 grams of silver."
- "Show me the morning adhkar with their hadith sources."Troubleshooting Azan
Server starts but prayer times are incorrect
Double-check your latitude, longitude, and timezone values in azan-config.json. Also verify that the calculation_method matches your regional authority (e.g. isna for North America, mwl for Muslim World League, egypt for Egyptian General Authority).
AZAN_CONFIG environment variable is not recognized
Ensure the env block in your MCP client config JSON contains the full absolute path to the file (not a relative path), and that the file exists and is valid JSON before starting the client.
uvx command not found after installing uv
Restart your shell or run 'source ~/.bashrc' (or ~/.zshrc) so the uv bin directory is on your PATH. Verify with 'which uvx'.
