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.

Install

# Run the server locally (stdio)
npx -y turath-mcp

Documentation

Detailed docs live under docs/:

• Tools reference — every tool, its schema, response shape, and examples.
• Integrations — Claude Desktop, Claude Web, ChatGPT, Cursor, and others.
• Architecture — internals: transports, API client, caching, HTTP hardening.
• Development — build, test, add a new tool, deploy.

Quick start (stdio)

npx -y turath-mcp

This runs the server over stdio. Use it with Claude Desktop, Cursor, or any other MCP client that supports the stdio transport.

Quick start (HTTP)

npx -y turath-mcp --http
# → "Turath MCP HTTP server listening on http://0.0.0.0:4000/"

Point your MCP client at http://localhost:4000/. The server also exposes GET /health for status checks. Configure with PORT, HOST, and the MCP_* variables documented in docs/architecture.md.

Quick start (Docker)

docker compose up --build
# → "Turath MCP HTTP server listening on http://0.0.0.0:4000/"

Requirements

• Node.js 22+ (required by turath-sdk)
• npm, pnpm, or yarn (project is yarn@1.22.22)
• Network access to api.turath.io and files.turath.io (all five tools are remote calls)
