Turath MCP
An MCP (Model Context Protocol) server that gives AI clients fast, accurate access to the books and resources of turath.io — authors, book metadata, parsed pages, full book dumps, and catalog search — over stdio and Streamable HTTP.
Every request is routed through the turath-sdk
package to the turath.io API. The AI handles the natural language; the server
returns the exact data from turath.io, attributed with a source block.
Features
🔌 MCP compatible — Claude Desktop, Claude Web, ChatGPT, Cursor, VS Code, and others.
🌐 Two transports — stdio for local integrations, Streamable HTTP for remote/hosted.
🔍 Five tools — author biographies, book metadata + indexes, full book files, parsed pages, and catalog search with filters.
📖 Accurate results — every answer comes from turath.io via
turath-sdk; no LLM in the loop.🛡️ Hardened HTTP — host allow-list, per-IP rate limit, body cap, session reaper,
/health.🗄️ Offline-friendly cache — turath.io responses cached in memory (and optionally on disk) for 30 days.
