Urantia Papers

Get the full table of contents of the Urantia Papers. Returns the Foreword and the 4 parts, with all 197 papers and their titles.

List all 197 papers of the Urantia Papers with their metadata (id, title, partId, labels), as a flat list.

Get a single paper with all its paragraphs. Paper IDs range from 0 (Foreword) to 196. Each paragraph has its reference, section, and plain text, so a whole paper fits in one call. `paper.audio` is one audio file of the whole paper (null when there is none). Optionally include entity mentions.

Get all sections within a paper, ordered by section number. Useful for understanding paper structure before reading specific sections.

Get a random paragraph from the Urantia Papers. Great for daily quotes, exploration, or discovering new passages.

Look up a specific paragraph by reference. Supports three formats: globalId ("1:2.0.1"), standardReferenceId ("2:0.1"), or paperSectionParagraphId ("2.0.1"). The format is auto-detected.

Get a paragraph with surrounding context (N paragraphs before and after within the same paper). Useful for understanding passages in context.

Keyword search across all paragraphs of the Urantia Papers. Mode "auto" (default): a reference such as "68:6.3", "103:2", "Paper 68", or a bare number such as "68" (0 to 196) gives those paragraphs; otherwise the exact phrase first, then every word, then (when few) typo fixes and most of the words. Each result has `match` (reference, exact, all, near, most); `meta.didYouMean` gives the fixed query and `meta.see` names another work the query names. Other modes: "and" (all words), "or" (any word), "phrase" (exact phrase).

Search the Urantia Papers using semantic similarity (vector embeddings). Returns conceptually related results even without exact keyword matches. A reference such as "99:1.1" gives those paragraphs; a pasted paragraph gives itself first. Each result has `strength` (strong, related, weak) and `match` (reference, exact, similar). The list holds the 100 nearest; `meta.total` is the length of that list, and `meta.related` counts the related or better.

Browse the entity catalog: beings, places, orders, races, religions, and concepts mentioned in the Urantia Papers. Supports filtering by type and searching by name.

Get detailed information about a specific entity by its slug ID. Returns name, type, aliases, description, related entities, and citation count.

Get all paragraphs that mention a specific entity, ordered by position in the text. Useful for studying everything said about a particular being, place, or concept.

Get the audio file URL for a specific paragraph. Accepts any paragraph reference format (globalId "1:2.0.1", standardReferenceId "2:0.1", or paperSectionParagraphId "2.0.1").

List all 81 books of the World English Bible (eng-web): 39 Old Testament + 15 deuterocanonical + 27 New Testament. Each entry includes OSIS book code, full name, abbreviation, canonical order, canon, and chapter/verse counts.

Get metadata for a single Bible book including chapter and verse counts. Accepts OSIS codes ("Gen"), USFM codes ("GEN"), full names ("Genesis"), and aliases ("genesis", "1-maccabees") — case-insensitive, hyphens/underscores tolerated.

Get every verse in a Bible chapter, ordered by verse number. Accepts OSIS, USFM, full name, or alias for `book_code`.

Get a single verse from the World English Bible (eng-web). Accepts OSIS, USFM, full name, or alias for `book_code`.

Returns the top 10 Urantia paragraphs whose embeddings are nearest to the Bible chunk that contains this verse. Pre-computed at seed time with text-embedding-3-large (3072-d) cosine similarity. Each result carries a similarity score (0..1) and rank (1..10). These are semantic neighbors, not a curated list of parallels.

Free-form natural-language search across all Bible chunks, ranked by cosine similarity. Each result includes the top-N pre-computed Urantia paragraphs related to that chunk. One query surfaces both Bible matches and the relevant Urantia content. Optional filters: `canon` (`ot`, `deuterocanon`, `nt`) and `book_code`. Set `urantia_parallel_limit` to 0 to leave out the Urantia paragraphs.

The works beside the Urantia Papers: the Bible (World English Bible) and 21 texts of the world's religions and traditions, each in the US public domain. `id` is what the other works.* tools take ("bible" or a slug such as "dhammapada"); `unitLabel` is the word for one unit of each work.

Keyword search across the Bible and the other works, or one work with `work`. A reference such as "John 3:16", "Jn 3:16-18", "Dhp 183", or "BG 2.47" gives those units first. Otherwise the exact phrase first, then every word, then (when few) a typo fix in `meta.didYouMean`. Each result has `match`, `url`, and its nearest Urantia paragraphs (semantic parallels, not curated ones).

Natural-language search across the Bible and the other works, or one work with `work`. The list holds the 100 nearest chunks (a few verses each); each has `similarity` and `strength` (strong, related, weak), and `meta.total` is the length of that list, and `meta.related` counts the related or better. Each result has `url` and its nearest Urantia paragraphs (semantic parallels, not curated ones).

The units of a reference in one work, in order, at most 200, each with its link: one verse or passage, a short range of up to 50, or a chapter. The prefix is optional ("BG 2.47" and "2.47" are the same); for the Bible, name the book ("John 3:16").

The 10 Urantia paragraphs closest in meaning to one unit of a work (the chunk that holds it). Semantic parallels, not curated ones: they do not claim that two teachings are the same. The reference must name one unit.

Checks whether a quoted passage is in the Urantia Papers. Returns `verdict` (exact, close, not_found), the reference and exact text of the best match, each word that differs, and other places the quote appears. Case and punctuation are ignored. A quote must be at least 4 words and fall within one paragraph. Give `ref` (such as "2:5.1") to also check the reference the quote claims.

A formatted citation of one paragraph of the Urantia Papers in APA, MLA, Chicago, or BibTeX. The ref is "196:2.1", "1:196.2.1", or "196.2.1".
