Alfanous - Quranic Search Engine
Brings the Alfanous Quranic search engine into Claude with full support for Arabic text, Buckwalter transliteration, and advanced query syntax. You get access to search, suggest, show, and list_values actions that mirror the underlying Python API. Search with Boolean operators, fielded queries, wildcards, and faceted aggregation by sura or juz. Toggle between exact mode for precise vocalized matches and fuzzy mode for stemmed, synonym-expanded results with configurable Levenshtein distance. Useful when you need programmatic access to verse text, metadata, translations, or recitations without building your own Quranic index. The server wraps a mature library that powers alfanous.org, so you're working with battle-tested search infrastructure rather than a thin wrapper.
