Text & Number Toolkit — amounts in words, locale numbers, Arabic text, human dates — for AI agents

MCP server + REST API. Ten deterministic tools for the multilingual chores agents fumble: writing AED 1,250.50 on a cheque in Arabic with the right grammar (فقط ألف ومئتان وخمسون درهماً وخمسون فلساً لا غير), formatting ₹12,34,567.89 the Indian way, reading 1.234,56 as a German reader would, turning ١٥ رمضان ١٤٤٧ or 3 mars 2026 into an ISO date, cleaning Arabic text for search, and romanising any script to ASCII.

No AI inside — rules and Unicode/CLDR data — so results are exact, repeatable and cheap. Every answer states its confidence, what was assumed, and the standard behind it. Nothing is logged.

Why the Arabic amount grammar matters

Arabic counted nouns change form with the number: درهم واحد (1), درهمان (2), ثلاثة دراهم (3–10), أحد عشر درهماً (11–99), مائة درهم (100), مئتا دينار (200). Generic libraries get this wrong, and a cheque or contract with the wrong form looks amateurish at best. This toolkit encodes the rule and the correct minor units (فلس، هللة، قرش، بيسة…) for the GCC, Levant, North Africa and major world currencies; anything else falls back to the CLDR name and says so.

Example

// parse_date {"text": "١٥ رمضان ١٤٤٧"}
{"result": {"input": "١٥ رمضان ١٤٤٧", "calendar": "hijri", "hijri": "1447-09-15", "date": "2026-03-04", "weekday": "Wed", "language": "ar"},
 "data_confidence": "medium",
 "estimated_items": ["Hijri→Gregorian by the Umm al-Qura calendar (±1 day vs. local moon sighting)"],
 "sources": ["https://github.com/dralshehri/hijridate"], "data_version": "2026.10.31-1", "warnings": [], "disclaimer": null}
