FAQ from quran_cloud_mcp_server

What is hallucination in LLMs?

Hallucination refers to the generation of incorrect or nonsensical information by an LLM, especially when dealing with factual data.

Why is it important to reduce hallucination when working with Quran text?

Accuracy is crucial when dealing with religious texts like the Quran. Hallucination can lead to misinterpretations and inaccuracies, which can have significant consequences.

What is an MCP server?

MCP stands for Machine Comprehension Platform. It acts as an intermediary between an LLM and a data source, allowing the LLM to retrieve specific information more efficiently.

How does this server reduce hallucination?

By providing the LLM with only the relevant Quranic verses or information, the server reduces the likelihood of the LLM generating incorrect or fabricated content.

Can I use this server with other LLMs besides Claude?

Yes, while the README provides instructions for Claude, the server can be adapted for use with other LLMs that support external API integration.
