The Shamela library, inside your assistant

What this is

A server that opens the Shamela library to your assistant: it searches the texts, reads the pages, and cites what it finds down to the book, volume, and page.

And no further. It issues no rulings, grades no hadith, and attributes nothing to a book it has not read.

Connect in three steps

1. Open your assistant's settings

   In Claude: Settings → Connectors → Add custom connector.

2. Paste this address

   It is the server's address, and carries nothing of yours.

   https://shamela.link/mcp

3. Sign in and approve

   A sign-in page opens once, and the connection stays.

Things to ask

• Trace the hadith «إنما الأعمال بالنيات» and show which collections record it.
• What do the Malikis hold on zakat for jewellery? With citations.
• Gather what the commentators say on ﴿وأن ليس للإنسان إلا ما سعى﴾.
• Search for «الاستصحاب» in usul al-fiqh, and where it appears most.

Search reaches only the books installed on this server.
