Bible is a remote MCP server that gives an AI agent 13 tools, among them compare_versions, corpus_info, entities_in_passage. It answers at https://bible-mcp-server.fly.dev/mcp over streamable HTTP, and it listed its tools to an anonymous client, so no sign-in was needed for that. Our probes reached it 6 of 6 times since 11 September 2026; the last check, on 22 October 2026, succeeded.
Bible corpus MCP server: scripture, Greek/Hebrew interlinear data, cross-refs, semantic search.
Description as the publisher wrote it.
| Tool | What it does |

compare_versions | Show a verse or short range in both BSB and WEB side by side. Inputs: reference |
corpus_info | What's in the corpus: documents, layers, licenses, and counts. |
entities_in_passage | List the people, places, and events linked to a verse or chapter, e.g. 'Genesis 14' or 'John 3:16'. Inputs: reference |
find_similar | Find passages semantically similar to a given verse or prose paragraph ref — across scripture, Apocrypha, and the classics. E.g. 'Philippians 2:7' or 'JULIAN.27.2'. Powers parallel-finding across corpus layers. Inputs: reference, top_k |
get_citations | Where a Bible verse is cited by name in the patristic corpus, extracted from the translators' own footnotes (tier 1). E.g. reference='Ephesians 5:21'. Complements get_cross_references, which links scripture to scripture; this links patristi Inputs: reference, limit |
get_cross_references | Cross-references for a verse (OpenBible.info, ranked by community votes), with the target text included. E.g. reference='Romans 5:12'. Inputs: reference, limit |
get_entity | Look up a biblical person, place, event, or people group by name (Theographic knowledge graph). Returns details and where they appear. entity_type optional: person | place | event | people_group. Inputs: name, entity_type |
get_interlinear | Word-by-word original language for a verse or short range: surface form, lemma, Strong's, gloss, morphology (Hebrew/Aramaic OT, Greek NT). For OT verses also shows Septuagint Greek surface text where available (Swete edition — Genesis-Malac Inputs: reference |
get_passage | Get Bible text for a reference like 'John 3:16', 'John 3:16-18', 'Genesis 1', or 'Tobit 4:5' (Apocrypha requires version='WEB'). Versions: BSB, WEB. Inputs: reference, version |
read_work | Read a prose work from the corpus by paragraph range. Works: CONFESSIONS (Augustine), IMITATION (à Kempis), PILGRIM (Bunyan), PRESENCE (Brother Lawrence), JULIAN (Julian of Norwich), ORTHODOXY (Chesterton), 1CLEMENT (Clement of Rome), BARNA Inputs: work, chapter, start, end |
search | Full-text search (stemmed, ranked). Supports phrases in quotes, AND/OR/NOT, e.g. 'living water', 'faith AND works NOT law'. Optional book filter e.g. 'Psalms'. NOTE: porter stemming conflates related surface forms — 'desert' also matches 'd Inputs: query, version, book, limit |
semantic_search | Meaning-based search across the whole corpus — scripture AND prose works — using embeddings, optionally fused with keyword search (hybrid, recommended). Finds passages about a theme even with no shared words, e.g. 'divine self-emptying', 't Inputs: query, top_k, kind, hybrid |
word_study | Original-language word study across the whole Bible. Query by Strong's number ('G26', 'H2617', zero-padding optional — 'H953' works), lemma (pointed or unpointed: 'חֶסֶד' or 'חסד', accented or bare Greek), Hebrew/Aramaic transliteration ('m Inputs: query, language, limit |

Put the server under mcpServers in ~/.cursor/mcp.json with the URL https://bible-mcp-server.fly.dev/mcp. The exact JSON is above, with the same setup for Claude Code, Claude Desktop, VS Code, Windsurf, Zed, Gemini CLI and the rest.
It listed its tools to an anonymous client, so reading the tool list needs no key. Individual tools can still ask for credentials in their own inputs.
