IWAC MCP Server
A read-only Model Context Protocol server for the Islam West Africa Collection (IWAC). Ships as a one-click Desktop Extension (.mcpb) for Claude Desktop, backed by the IWAC Hugging Face dataset. Also available as a hosted endpoint at https://islam.zmo.de/mcp/ for ChatGPT and other MCP clients — see docs/connecting.md for the full connection walkthrough (Claude Desktop and ChatGPT).
Install
Each release ships a server bundle for your operating system plus a research-skill .zip. The .mcpb gives Claude the data and tools; the .zip adds a research skill that teaches Claude how to use them. Install the server first, then install the skill too — strongly recommended for getting the most out of the tools: it makes Claude search and synthesize far more efficiently, with fewer wasted queries.
1. The MCP server — pick the bundle for your OS
into ~/.iwac-mcp/cache/ (override in the extension settings).
- Download the latest bundle for your OS using the links above.
- Double-click the file. Claude Desktop shows an install dialog — click Install.
- On first use the server downloads ~250 MB of parquet data from Hugging Face
The bundle contains the server and DuckDB binaries for your OS (x64 and arm64). Claude Desktop supplies the Node.js runtime, so no separate Node.js or Python installation is needed. We publish desktop bundles for Windows and macOS.
