## Claude Desktop Integration

To use the prayer times service with Claude Desktop:

1. Create a configuration file:
```json
{
  "mcpServers": {
    "Salaah Times": {
      "command": "/Users/yusuf/.local/bin/mcp-proxy",
      "env": {
        "SSE_URL": "http://localhost:8000/mcp"
      }
    }
  }
}
```

2. Save this as `claude_desktop_config.json` in your Claude Desktop configuration directory.

3. Make sure the MCP service is running:
```bash
uv run run.py
```

4. Start Claude Desktop and you can now ask questions about prayer times like:
- "What time is Asr prayer today?"
- "When is Fajr tomorrow in Johannesburg?"
- "Show me all prayer times for London"

The AI will use the MCP service to calculate accurate prayer times based on your queries.
