Overview

AI-generated overview

A remote MCP server that lets an assistant look up Western church year seasons, colors, feasts and 1979 Book of Common Prayer Sunday lectionary readings.

What you can do
Look up the season, week, observance, liturgical color and lectionary year for any date in the Western church year, including Easter and Pascha dates and movable feasts under 1979 Book of Common Prayer rules. Retrieve appointed Sunday and major feast readings from the three-year lectionary, with alternatives, and move weekday dates to the next Sunday when needed. List dated feasts, fasts and holy days in a window with each day's color. Plan a run of Sundays for a sermon series, showing names, seasons, colors, lectionary years, readings, crossed seasons, feasts and books read on three or more consecutive Sundays.
When to use it
Useful for clergy, worship planners, church staff and anyone preparing sermons, bulletins or liturgical calendars who wants an assistant to resolve dates, seasons, colors and appointed readings without manual lectionary lookup.
Requirements
A remote streamable HTTP endpoint at crossandcovenant.co; no packages, environment variables, headers or authentication are declared.
Before you install
The content is reference material for the Western church year and the 1979 Book of Common Prayer lectionary; verify results against official liturgical sources before publishing bulletins or planning services. No credentials, payments or write actions are declared.

Installation

In SourceWeft

  1. Open Church Year in the dashboard and add it to a workspace.
  2. Enable the server for the chats that should use its tools.

Web executable via Streamable HTTP. Remote servers run from the web runtime once configured in a workspace.

Use with an agent

Paste this prompt into Claude Code, Codex, Cursor or another agent — or into SourceWeft chat. The agent reads this server's install guide, shows you its publisher, endpoint and sign-in, and adds it to your client once you agree. Keys never go into a command.

Read https://sourceweft.com/mcp/co.crossandcovenant%2Fchurch-year/install.md and connect the MCP server it describes to my client. Before changing any config, show me its publisher, endpoint and sign-in method and wait for my OK. Never put an API key in a command or in a file I would commit; ask me where it should come from.

Read the install guide the agent follows

season_for_date

Season for a date

Returns where a date falls in the Western church year: the season (Advent, Christmas, Epiphany, Lent, Holy Week, Easter, or the season after Pentecost, also called Ordinary Time), the week of the season, the day's observance and liturgical color, the church year and its lectionary year (A, B or C), and that year's Western Easter and Orthodox Pascha. Defaults to today in Mountain Time.

Parametersdate

readings_for_sunday

Readings for a Sunday or feast

Returns the appointed Bible readings (first reading, psalm, second reading, gospel, with the alternatives) for a Sunday or major feast from the three-year Sunday lectionary of the 1979 Book of Common Prayer, which is public domain. Give a date (a weekday without its own lessons moves to the next Sunday) or an occasion such as "advent-1", "proper-23", "easter-day" or "christmas-day" with a year of A, B or C. With include_text, adds the passage text from the World English Bible or King James Version, both public domain. Citations only, never another translation.

Parametersdateyearoccasiontranslationinclude_text

upcoming_feast_days

Upcoming feast days

Lists the dated feasts, fasts and holy days in a window: Ash Wednesday, Holy Week, Easter, Ascension, Pentecost, Trinity, Christ the King, Advent, Christmas, the Epiphany, the feasts of our Lord, apostles and evangelists, with each day's color. Applies the 1979 Book of Common Prayer rules that move a feast off a Sunday or out of Holy Week and Easter Week. Optionally includes Orthodox Pascha, Julian-calendar Christmas and Reformation Day.

Parametersdaysfrominclude_saints_daysinclude_other_traditions

Plan a sermon series

Lays out a run of Sundays from a start date: each Sunday's name, season, color, lectionary year and appointed readings from the 1979 Book of Common Prayer lectionary, the seasons the run crosses, feasts that fall on those Sundays, and every book read on three or more consecutive Sundays, with the longest such run named as a possible series spine. Rule-based, no generated text.
