Free, no-key Bible MCP server — 86 translations in 32 languages, from any MCP client.
Free, no-key Bible MCP server that lets an assistant read, search, compare and study Scripture across many translations and languages.
Web executable via Streamable HTTP. Remote servers run from the web runtime once configured in a workspace.
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/com.midvash%2Fbible/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.Add this to your client's mcpServers config.

Free, no-key Model Context Protocol server by Midvash. Read, search and study Scripture across 119 free Bible versions in 69 languages (public domain or openly licensed, the same catalog as api.midvash.com) from ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, Cursor and any other MCP client. Served from Cloudflare's edge. Powers mcp.midvash.com.
POST).Generate your personal connection URL at mcp.midvash.com and add it to your MCP client. URLs look like:
v: comma-separated version slugs to expose (optional; omit for all). The
first one is the connection's default version; with no v, the default is
the BSB (English).lang: comma-separated languages to expose (optional; omit for all).claude.ai / ChatGPT: add the URL as a custom connector (Claude: Customize ›
Connectors; ChatGPT: Settings › Apps with Developer mode on). Gemini CLI:
gemini mcp add --transport http midvash "<url>".
Example (Cursor and other editors, mcp.json):
ChatGPT plugins are MCP servers, so this same server is the plugin. The endpoint registered in the OpenAI plugin portal is:
get_passage, get_verse and get_chapter point at an interactive view
(ui://midvash/passage-v1.html, MCP Apps
standard) that shows the numbered verses and a button to read the passage on
midvash.com. Hosts without UI support keep getting the Markdown. Submission
data lives in docs/chatgpt-plugin.md.
Study tools return a summary of up to 500 characters plus a link to the full
article on midvash.com.
Beyond tools, the server exposes Resources — bible://{version}/{book}/{chapter}
addresses the text directly — and four study Prompts: sermon preparation, a
devotional, a word study, and a translation comparison. Book and version
arguments support autocompletion.
Tools that return data also return structuredContent alongside the Markdown,
so a client does not have to parse formatted text.
The server is public and unauthenticated, so every request is metered:
A batch costs one unit per tools/call, so batching cannot raise the per-IP
ceiling. Tool responses are deterministic and public, so they are cached at the
edge for 24 hours — a repeated call costs nothing and returns in a fraction of
the time.
The MCP currently exposes the version catalog compiled in
src/data/versions.ts: 119 versions, all public domain or
openly licensed, across 69 language codes: ar, as, bn, ceb, ckb, cs, da, de, ee, en, eo, es, fa, fi, fr, gr (Greek), gu, ha, haw, he, hi, hil, hne, ht, hu, id, ig, ilo, it, ja, ki, kn, ko, la, lg, mg, ln, luo, ml, mr, my, nb, nd, ne, nl, ny, om, or, pa, pl, pt-br, ro, ru, sn, sr, sv, sw, ta, te, tl, to, tr, tw, ug, uk, ur, vi, yo, zh. Versions whose license asks for attribution (CC BY-SA and similar) carry a
copyright line, printed at the end of every text the tools return.
The public URL can narrow that catalog per connection:
The D1 database belongs to this MCP alone. It is a copy, rebuilt by
scripts/seed-mcp-search.sh, and the Worker
only ever reads from it. Keeping it separate means the Cloudflare dashboard
reports this server's usage on its own, and a D1 binding — which grants access
to an entire database — reaches nothing but public Bible content.
Search is ranked per version for every catalog version. Hebrew and Arabic are indexed without vowel marks, so a word typed without them still matches.
Deploys to the Cloudflare Worker midvash-mcp (custom domain
mcp.midvash.com) via GitHub Actions (.github/workflows/deploy.yml) —
every push to main is type-checked and deployed automatically. Requires the
repository secrets CLOUDFLARE_API_TOKEN and CLOUDFLARE_ACCOUNT_ID. Manual

Get Bible verse
Fetches one exact Bible verse or a contiguous verse range from a specific version. Use this when the book, chapter, verse, and version are already known. For natural references such as "John 3:16-18", prefer get_passage.
bookrequiredverserequiredchapterrequiredversionrequiredverse_endGet Bible chapter
Fetches a full Bible chapter from a specific version, formatted in Markdown with numbered verses. Use this when the user needs chapter-level context instead of an isolated verse.
bookrequiredchapterrequiredversionrequiredGet Bible passage
Fetches Bible passages from natural-language references such as "John 3:16-18", "Psalm 23", "Romans 8:1-9:5" (crossing chapters) or "John 3:16; Romans 8:1" (several at once). This is the primary lookup tool when the user gives a citation instead of structured book/chapter/verse fields.
versionreferencerequiredSearch Bible
Searches the Bible text for words or an exact phrase and returns matching verses ranked by relevance. Matching ignores letter case, accents, and Hebrew and Arabic vowel marks; wrap the query in double quotes for an exact phrase. Use this for discovery questions like "find verses about love". For a known citation, use get_passage or get_verse.
booklimitqueryrequiredversiontestamentCompare Bible passage
Compares the same Bible passage across multiple Bible versions and returns a Markdown side-by-side style comparison. Use this for translation comparison, sermon preparation, or study questions. For a single version, use get_passage.
versionsreferencerequiredList Bible versions
Lists Bible versions available to the current MCP connection, automatically respecting URL filters such as ?v=onbv,kjv and ?lang=pt-br,en. Use this before lookup, search, or comparison when the user has not specified a version.
languageList Bible books
Lists the 66 canonical Bible books with localized names, slugs, abbreviations, testament grouping, and chapter counts. Use this when an agent needs valid book identifiers or localized display names before calling lookup tools.
languagetestamentGet cross-references
Finds other Bible passages that relate to a given verse, ranked by how widely the link is attested. This answers "what else in Scripture speaks to this?" — the standard next step in study after reading a verse. Returns each related passage with its text, so no follow-up lookup is needed.
limitversionreferencerequiredinclude_textSearch Bible study library
Searches Midvash's Bible study library: chapter commentaries, Bible characters, dictionary entries, and theology articles, in 9 languages. Use this for background and explanation — who a person was, what a term means, what a chapter is about. For the biblical text itself, use search_bible or get_passage. Results are summaries with a link to the full article.
typelimitqueryrequiredlanguageGet chapter commentary
Fetches the Midvash commentary for the chapter a reference points to — what the chapter is about, its context and its main movements. Every one of the 1,189 Bible chapters has one, in 9 languages. Use this for "what is this chapter about" questions. For the text itself, use get_passage. Returns a summary with a link to the full commentary.
languagereferencerequiredGet Strong's lexicon entry
Looks up a word in Strong's lexicon — 8,674 Hebrew and 5,523 Greek entries — by Strong's number ("H430", "G2316") or by the word itself, in the original script or transliterated ("elohim", "θεός"). Returns the lemma, transliteration, definition and senses, translated into the requested language. Use it when the question is what an original-language word means.
