Overview

AI-generated overview

Remote MCP server for the Shepherd Bible API that lets an assistant list translations, browse books and chapters, read verses, and search scripture.

What you can do
  • List available Bible translations
  • List books and chapter counts for a translation
  • Read a full chapter with verses, groupings and red letter data
  • Fetch a single verse, including red letter data when available
  • Search verses by keyword or exact match
When to use it
Useful when you want an assistant to look up or quote Bible text, navigate translations and chapters, or find verses by keyword during study, writing or research tasks.
Requirements
A remote streamable HTTP endpoint at bible.simplecohortllc.com; no packages, environment variables, headers or authentication are declared, so network access to that host is the only stated need.
Before you install
The server is read-only in the listed tools, but queries and search terms are sent to a third-party host, so avoid including sensitive content in searches. No authentication is declared, so availability and rate limits are not guaranteed.

Installation

In SourceWeft

  1. Open Shepherd Bible API 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/com.simplecohortllc.bible%2Fshepherd-bible-api/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

How complete this listing is, computed from the registry entry, the endpoint and public sources. Not a rating of the server and not a statement that it is safe or working today: reachability is a dated check, and no installs or reviews go into the score.
