Malaysia Prayer Time MCP Server provides accurate Islamic prayer times for locations throughout Malaysia. This server implements the Model Context Protocol (MCP) to seamlessly integrate with Claude Desktop, delivering real-time prayer schedules directly through your AI assistant.

The server utilizes the waktusolat.app API to retrieve JAKIM-verified prayer times and supports searching by city, zone code, or coordinates.

✅ Location-Based Times: Get prayer times for any city or district in Malaysia
✅ Coordinate Support: Find prayer times using latitude and longitude coordinates
✅ Zone Code Access: Directly query using JAKIM zone codes (e.g., SGR03 for Kuala Lumpur)
✅ Complete Prayer Schedule: Retrieve all daily prayer times (Fajr, Sunrise, Dhuhr, Asr, Maghrib, Isha)
✅ Current Prayer Status: Determine the current and next prayer times
✅ Robust Error Handling: Graceful handling of network issues and API changes
✅ Seamless Claude Integration: Clean integration with Claude Desktop via MCP

            "command": "/absolute/path/to/your/.venv/bin/python",
            "args": [
                "main.py"
            ],
            "cwd": "/absolute/path/to/mcp-server-malaysia-prayer-time"
        }
    }
}

1. Restart Claude Desktop completely

Once configured, you can interact with prayer times through Claude Desktop using natural language queries:

• "What are the prayer times for Kuala Lumpur today?"
• "Show prayer times for Ipoh, Malaysia"
• "Get prayer times for PRK02" (using zone code)

• "What are the prayer times at coordinates 3.1390, 101.6869?"
• "Show prayer schedule for location 5.4141, 100.3288"

• "List all prayer time zones in Malaysia"
• "Show me all available JAKIM zone codes"

The MCP server exposes the following tools to Claude:

Retrieves prayer times for a specific city or zone code in Malaysia.

Parameters:

• city (string, default: "kuala lumpur"): City name or zone code (e.g., "SGR03")
• country (string, default: "malaysia"): Currently only supports "malaysia"
• date (string, default: "today"): Date in YYYY-MM-DD format or "today"

Retrieves prayer times based on geographic coordinates.

Parameters:

• latitude (float): Latitude coordinate
• longitude (float): Longitude coordinate
• date (string, default: "today"): Date in YYYY-MM-DD format or "today"

Lists all available prayer time zones in Malaysia with their corresponding codes.

The server provides these prayer times:

• Imsak (pre-dawn meal time, if available)
• Fajr (dawn prayer)
• Syuruk/Sunrise
• Dhuhr (noon prayer)
• Asr (afternoon prayer)
• Maghrib (sunset prayer)
• Isha (night prayer)

The server currently supports all JAKIM zones in Malaysia. The coordinate-based lookup supports these major areas:

• Kuala Lumpur/Selangor: SGR01-SGR04
• Perak: PRK01-PRK04
• Penang: PNG01
• Johor: JHR01
• Kedah: KDH01
• Terengganu: TRG01
• Kelantan: KTN01
• Melaka: MLK01

1. Verify configuration paths are absolute and correct

2. Check Claude logs:

   # macOS
   tail -f ~/Library/Logs/Claude/mcp*.log
   
   # Windows
   type %APPDATA%\Claude\Logs\mcp*.log

3. Test the server directly:

   cd /path/to/mcp-server-malaysia-prayer-time
   python main.py

1. Verify internet connectivity
2. Check if the zone code is valid (use list_zones)
3. The API may be temporarily unavailable - try again later

Try using a different spelling, a nearby major city, or the appropriate zone code
