The Ramadanfold connector for Claude
A connector adds tools to Claude. This one answers questions about prayer times, the Ramadan timetable, the length of a fast and Hijri dates, from the same calculations and with the same wording as this site's timetable. It only reads, and it needs no account.

What it does
When you ask Claude about prayer times or Ramadan and the connector is on, Claude can call its tools and answer with figures worked out the way the times on this site are worked out: the sun's position for your city and date, a named calculation method, and cautious rounding, so suhoor never ends later, or iftar starts earlier, than the calculation.
Every answer with a time names the method it used and carries the line Ramadanfold prints on every timetable. Every Ramadan or Eid date is given as expected, because the start and the end of the month depend on moon sighting.

How to add it in Claude
Ramadanfold is listed in Claude's connector directory, at claude.ai/directory/ramadanfold. Open that page while signed in to Claude to add it from there. The steps below add the same connector by its address instead.
For your own account, following Anthropic's steps for a custom connector (every Claude plan can add at least one):
- In Claude, go to Customize, then Connectors.
- Click “+ Add”, then “Add custom connector”.
- Enter a name, such as Ramadanfold. It is the name shown in the connectors list.
- Enter the address
https://mcp.ramadanfold.com/mcpand click “Continue”. - Check the authentication settings Claude found, then click “Continue”.
- Under “Authentication”, choose “No sign in”: there is nothing to sign in to. Leave the request headers empty.
- Click “Add”.
To use it in a chat, open the “+” button at the lower left, select Connectors and turn Ramadanfold on, then ask a question like the ones below.
On a Team or Enterprise plan, an Owner adds it for everyone first: Organization settings, then Connectors, “Add”, then “Custom” and “Web”, and the same steps from the name on. Members then find it under Customize, then Connectors, and click “Connect”. It can also be added from its directory listing.
The tools, in plain words
find_city- Finds a city on the bundled list of about 3,000 and gives its coordinates and time zone, so two places with one name are told apart.
get_prayer_times- Fajr, sunrise, Dhuhr, Asr, Maghrib and Isha for a city, or for coordinates with a time zone, on one day or up to 31 days in a row.
get_ramadan_timetable- Suhoor end and iftar for every day of a Ramadan from 1318 to 1524 (1900 to 2100), in 30 rows as on this site with day 30 marked, with the expected first day and the expected Eid, from the date the Umm al-Qura calendar gives or the date your mosque announced.
get_fast_length- How long one day's fast is, from Fajr to Maghrib, and if you ask, how it ranks against 24 cities from Reykjavik to Christchurch.
convert_hijri_date- A Gregorian date in the Hijri calendar, or a Hijri date in the Gregorian one, by the Umm al-Qura calendar, from 1900 to 2100.
list_calculation_methods- The five calculation methods with their angles and where each is used, the two Asr rules and the four high latitude rules.
The four tools whose answers carry notes, get_prayer_times, get_ramadan_timetable, get_fast_length and convert_hijri_date, take a detail setting. The full answer, the default, adds those notes, and for the three that give times, a link to the matching printable page on ramadanfold.com where there is one. The short answer keeps the figures, any warnings and the one line notes, and for times, the method's name.
Things to ask
- “What time does the fast end in Birmingham, UK on the first day of Ramadan 2027?” Claude finds Birmingham, England, and gives iftar and the end of suhoor for Monday 8 February 2027, the expected first day, naming the method and saying the date depends on moon sighting.
- “Make me a Ramadan 1448 suhoor and iftar timetable for Toronto using the ISNA method.” Every day of the month for Toronto, Ontario, in 30 rows with day 30 marked if the month runs to 30, with the expected first day and the expected Eid as the Umm al-Qura calendar gives it, or the next day if the month runs to 30.
- “What are the prayer times in Jakarta tomorrow?” The six times for Jakarta in local time, with the method named and the line that times are calculated and your local mosque's timetable is the one to follow.
- “How long is the fast in Christchurch compared with Reykjavik on 8 February 2027?” The length of each fast in hours and minutes from the same calculation, with suhoor and iftar for each city.
- “What is 1 Shawwal 1448 in the Gregorian calendar?” Tuesday 9 March 2027 by the Umm al-Qura calendar, stated as the expected Eid al-Fitr, since the end of Ramadan depends on moon sighting.
What it does not do
- It gives no religious rulings and takes no side between schools. The method is yours or your mosque's to choose.
- It is not a moon sighting. The start and the end of the month are your mosque's to announce, so its Ramadan and Eid dates are expected dates.
- It never shows day 30 of Ramadan as certain: day 30 always reads “if the month runs to 30”.
- It covers every Ramadan from 1318 to 1524 (1900 to 2100) by the Umm al-Qura calendar, and prayer times and Hijri dates from 1900 to 2100. This site's printable timetables cover Ramadan 1447 to 1452 (2026 to 2030), so its links to them are for those years.
- It does not guess times where the sun does not rise or does not set, as in the far north in winter and summer; it says so instead.
- It has no account and no sign in, and it stores no history, no files and no messages.
- Its times are for sea level. Mosque timetables can differ by a few minutes, and they win.
Times are calculated; follow your local mosque for the start of the month and for prayer times.
Privacy in brief
A request holds the values its tool takes: a city id or coordinates with a time zone, the dates and the calculation settings, or for a city search, the name being looked for. Ramadanfold stores none of it and logs none of it. Cloudflare hosts the connector, under its own privacy policy. The full statement is in the privacy policy, under the Claude connector.
Where the data comes from
City names, coordinates and time zones come from GeoNames, used under the Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 licence; we chose the cities and rounded the coordinates. The expected first day of each Ramadan comes from the Umm al-Qura calendar as published in the Unicode calendar data. The sun's position follows Jean Meeus, Astronomical Algorithms. The expected first day of Ramadan 1448, for example, is 8 February 2027.

To report a security problem, write to the same address with what you found and how to see it, and allow time for a fix before telling others. The same contact is published at ramadanfold.com/.well-known/security.txt and mcp.ramadanfold.com/.well-known/security.txt.
