fanar-mcp
A Model Context Protocol server for Fanar, the Arabic-centric generative AI platform built by QCRI at Hamad Bin Khalifa University. It gives any MCP client (Claude Desktop, Claude Code, Cursor, and other agent harnesses) Fanar's chat models, cited Islamic question answering, Qur'an and hadith quotation checks, deep research, Arabic-English translation, Arabic speech in both directions, and image generation.
Built for the Islamic finance community first: ask a fiqh question and get the sources, check every quotation in a draft before it is published, and translate classical Arabic texts.
Independent open-source project by Blade Labs. Not affiliated with or endorsed by QCRI or HBKU. Status: alpha.

Prompts: islamic_finance_question (answer with sources and checked quotations) and
verify_islamic_quotations (check a text before publishing).

Install and configure
Requires Python 3.10 or later.
pip install fanar-mcp # or run it without installing: uvx fanar-mcp
uvx --from git+https://github.com/Blade-Labs/fanar-mcp fanar-mcp # straight from GitHub
Claude Desktop (claude_desktop_config.json):
{
"mcpServers": {
"fanar": {
"command": "uvx",
"args": ["fanar-mcp"],
"env": { "FANAR_API_KEY": "your-key" }
}
}
}
Claude Code:
claude mcp add fanar -e FANAR_API_KEY=your-key -- uvx fanar-mcp
Cursor and other clients take the same command (uvx fanar-mcp) and the FANAR_API_KEY variable.
For a shared server, run fanar-mcp --transport streamable-http --port 8765.
Environment variables: FANAR_API_KEY (required), FANAR_BASE_URL (default https://api.fanar.qa/v1),
FANAR_MCP_OUTPUT_DIR (where audio and images are saved; default ~/fanar-mcp-output).
Responsible use
- Answers from
fanar_islamic_qaare cited answers, not fatwas. Show the references, note differences between schools, and refer binding questions to a qualified scholar or Shariah board. - A quotation that
fanar_validate_quotationsleaves untagged was not verified. Treat it as unverified. - Your use of the API is governed by Fanar's own terms. Read them before using Fanar in a commercial product.
- The server never logs or returns your API key.
