Trust breakdown (6 categories)

How this component scores in each security and reliability category. Every signal is checked automatically against the live server, and we only credit what we can confirm. How we score →

Endpoint Security74

The endpoint's TLS certificate is valid, in date, and uses a strong key. View diagnostics → Pass
No authorisation is required to call this server. Every tool declares its destructiveHint and none is destructive, so open access doesn't expose one. See how to fix → View diagnostics → Partial
HTTPS is enforced; there's no plaintext access path. View diagnostics → Pass
HSTS check failed: the Strict-Transport-Security header is absent. See how to fix → View diagnostics → Fail
DNSSEC check failed: this domain isn't protected by DNSSEC. See how to fix → View diagnostics → Fail

Transport & Reachability100

Verified streamable-http transport via a live MCP handshake. View diagnostics → Pass

Schema Quality & AI Usability88

100% of prompts and resources have a non-trivial description (not blank, and not just the item's name).Pass
AI-judged instruction clarity (excellent).Pass
Tool/resource definitions use about 3318 tokens (~72/item across 46 items; 11 tools + 35 resources), lean.Pass
Usage-examples check failed: none of the tools include examples. See how to fix → Fail

Stability & Change Management17

Stability observed for 5 of 30 days with no destabilising changes; credit accrues until the full window elapses.Partial

Tool Coverage100

100% of tools have a non-trivial description (not blank, and not just the tool's name).Pass
100% of tool parameters carry a description.Pass
Structured output schemas are declared (55% of tools); any adoption earns full credit.Pass

Tool Tokens

compare_passage ~144

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.

Input Output Examples

Name	Type	Req	Description
reference	string	yes	Free-form Bible reference to compare. Accepts supported localized book names, abbreviations, whole chapters, and verse ranges. Examples: "John 3:16", "João 3:16-18", "Psalm 23".
versions	array	—	Optional list of Bible version slugs to compare. If omitted, uses versions enabled by the connection URL, or a small default set. Maximum 8 versions.

No output schema declared.

No examples provided.

get_chapter ~142

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.

Input Output Examples

Name	Type	Req	Description
book	string	yes	Bible book name, slug, or abbreviation. Accepts supported localized names such as "John", "João", "Salmos", or "1 Sm".
chapter	integer	yes	Chapter number within the selected book. Must be 1 or greater.
version	string	yes	Bible version slug to read from, such as "nvi", "kjv", "ara", or "rvr1960". Must be enabled by the connection URL filters.

Name	Type	Req	Description
verses	array	yes	—
version	string	yes	Version slug, such as "nvi".
version_name	string	—	Human-readable version name.

No examples provided.

get_commentary ~174

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.

Input Output Examples

Name	Type	Req	Description
language	string	—	Optional language for the commentary: en, pt-br, es, fr, de, it, zh, ru, ko. Defaults to the connection language, or English.
reference	string	yes	Any Bible reference inside the chapter you want commentary on. "John 3", "João 3:16" and "Romans 8:1-11" all resolve to that chapter.

No output schema declared.

No examples provided.

get_cross_references ~199

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.

Input Output Examples

Name	Type	Req	Description
include_text	boolean	—	Whether to include the text of each related passage. Default true. Set false for a compact list of references only.
limit	integer	—	Maximum number of related passages. Default: 10; max: 25.
reference	string	yes	The verse to start from, such as "John 3:16" or "Romanos 8:28". Must point at a single verse; a whole chapter is too broad for cross-references.
version	string	—	Optional Bible version slug for the text of the related passages. Defaults to the connection version, or "nvi".

Name	Type	Req	Description
passages	array	yes	—
source	object	yes	—
version	string	—	Version slug, such as "nvi".
version_name	string	—	Human-readable version name.

No examples provided.

get_passage ~221

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.

Input Output Examples

Name	Type	Req	Description
reference	string	yes	One or more free-form Bible references. Accepts localized book names, abbreviations, whole chapters ("Psalm 23"), verse ranges ("John 3:16-18"), chapter ranges ("Genesis 1-3"), ranges that cross chap…
version	string	—	Optional Bible version slug. If omitted, uses the first version enabled by the connection URL, or "nvi" when no version filter exists.

Name	Type	Req	Description
verses	array	yes	—
version	string	yes	Version slug, such as "nvi".
version_name	string	—	Human-readable version name.

No examples provided.

get_strongs ~279

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.

Input Output Examples

Name	Type	Req	Description
language	string	—	Restricts the search, and is required when `number` is given without an H or G prefix.
limit	integer	—	Maximum entries when searching by word. Default: 5; max: 15.
number	string	—	Strong's identifier: "H430" for Hebrew, "G2316" for Greek. A bare number like "430" also works if `language` is given.
translation_language	string	—	Language for the definitions: en, pt-br, es, fr, de, it, zh, ru, ko. Defaults to the connection language, or English.
word	string	—	A word to look up instead of a number. Accepts the original script ("אלהים", "θεός") or a transliteration ("elohim", "theos"). Vowel points and accents are ignored.

Name	Type	Req	Description
entries	array	yes	—

No examples provided.

get_verse ~206

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.

Input Output Examples

Name	Type	Req	Description
book	string	yes	Bible book name, slug, or abbreviation. Accepts supported localized names such as "John", "João", "Salmos", or "1 Sm".
chapter	integer	yes	Chapter number within the selected book. Must be 1 or greater.

list_books ~122

language	string	—	Optional locale for book names, slugs, and abbreviations. Supported values: en, pt-br, es, fr, de, it, zh, ru, ko. Defaults to en.

search_bible ~270

Searches the Bible text for words or an exact phrase and returns matching verses ranked by relevance. Matching ignores letter case and accents; 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.

book	string	—	Optional book name, slug, or abbreviation in any supported book locale (ex.: "John", "João", "Salmos"). Required for versions in Hebrew, Greek, or Latin.
