Overview

AI-generated overview

NuBerea gives an AI assistant hosted biblical research tools: lexicons, morphology, manuscripts, cross-references and theological explanations.

What you can do
  • Look up Greek and Hebrew words in lexicons such as LSJ and BDB, with meanings and occurrences
  • Retrieve word-by-word morphology, lemmas and Strong's numbers for verses from datasets such as Macula
  • Compare manuscripts and transcriptions, including textual variants and synopsis entries
  • Find cross-references and trace theological themes across passages
  • Support exegesis, sermon preparation and Bible study outlines
When to use it
Useful when you want an assistant to do scholarly Scripture work on demand: word studies, verse-by-verse exegesis, textual criticism, cross-reference tracing, or sermon and study preparation.
Requirements
A remote MCP endpoint reached over streamable HTTP; no local package or runtime is needed. A NuBerea account is required, and the client prompts for OAuth sign-in on first use, with refresh tokens keeping the session alive.
Before you install
Access is tied to a NuBerea account and OAuth sign-in, so the assistant's queries and session tokens are handled by that third-party service. The README does not state whether usage is metered or paid; check the provider's terms before relying on it.

Installation

In SourceWeft

  1. Open NuBerea in the dashboard and add it to a workspace.
  2. Connect the required credentials. They are stored privately and never shown on public pages.
  3. 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.streamsapps%2Fnuberea/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

Other MCP clients

Add this to your client's mcpServers config. The client completes OAuth sign-in on first connect.

NuBerea AI

Tools for building AI-powered theological study experiences using NuBerea.

This repository contains resources for integrating NuBerea’s biblical research tools with AI assistants, developer frameworks, and the Model Context Protocol (MCP).

What is NuBerea?

NuBerea is an AI-powered theological assistant designed to help users explore Scripture with deeper insight.

It provides tools for:

  • Biblical cross-references
  • Greek and Hebrew word insights
  • Scripture-grounded theological explanations
  • AI-assisted sermon preparation and research

Learn more at https://nuberea.com

Model Context Protocol (MCP)

NuBerea provides an MCP server that allows AI clients to securely access NuBerea’s theological tools.

Using MCP, assistants such as ChatGPT, Claude, Cursor, Claude Desktop, or custom agents can interact with NuBerea’s research capabilities as structured tools.

Full documentation: https://nuberea.com/docs/mcp/

Quick Start (any MCP client)

This is the universal path for ChatGPT, Cursor, Claude Desktop, custom agents, and any other MCP-compatible client.

1. Create an account

Sign in or create a NuBerea account at https://nuberea.com/login.

2. Add NuBerea to your MCP client

Point your client at the NuBerea MCP server URL:

https://mcp.nuberea.com/mcp

Example MCP configuration:

json
{  "mcpServers": {    "nuberea": {      "url": "https://mcp.nuberea.com/mcp"    }  }}

3. Authenticate

NuBerea MCP uses token-based authentication with refresh tokens to maintain secure, long-lived sessions. Your client will prompt you to sign in on first use. See the docs for client-specific setup.

Claude Code plugin

If you use Claude Code, NuBerea ships as a first-class plugin.

This repository follows Claude Code's marketplace layout:

  • .claude-plugin/marketplace.json defines the marketplace catalog.
  • .claude-plugin/plugin.json defines the NuBerea plugin.

Install

Choose one of the marketplace sources below. The Anthropic Community marketplace is recommended for most users; use the GitHub source if you want preview builds direct from this repo.

Anthropic Community (recommended)GitHub (this repo)
Add marketplaceclaude plugin marketplace add anthropics/claude-plugins-communityclaude plugin marketplace add streamsapps/nuberea-mcp
Installclaude plugin install nuberea@claude-communityclaude plugin install nuberea@nuberea
Updateclaude plugin marketplace update claude-community

claude plugin update nuberea@nuberea
Uninstallclaude plugin uninstall nuberea@claude-community
claude plugin marketplace remove claude-community		claude plugin uninstall nuberea@nuberea
claude plugin marketplace remove nuberea

To scope a marketplace to a single repository instead of your user profile, append --scope project to the marketplace add command.

Restart Claude Code after updating so the new plugin version is loaded.

Use

Start Claude Code:

bash
claude

Authenticate NuBerea (first run only):

text
/mcp

Select nuberea and complete the authentication flow.

Try a prompt such as:

text
Use Nuberea to look up John 1:1 in Greek and summarize the lexical notes.

Troubleshooting

List configured marketplaces:

bash
claude plugin marketplace list

List installed plugins:

bash
claude plugin list

Check whether the MCP server is connected:

bash
claude mcp list

Or inside Claude Code, run /mcp.

If NuBerea shows Needs authentication, run /mcp, select nuberea, and complete authentication. If authentication succeeds but reconnection fails, restart Claude Code.

Example Use Cases

NuBerea MCP enables AI assistants to perform scholarly biblical research on demand. Try prompts like:
