## Trust breakdown

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. Scores are 0–100 per category. Scoring method: https://verifymcp.io/docs/scoring (what has changed: https://verifymcp.io/docs/scoring/changelog)

Scored 2026-08-03.

- **Endpoint Security**: 60/100
  - The endpoint's TLS certificate is valid, in date, and uses a strong key.
  - Authorisation not fully verified: no authorisation is required to call this server, and 12 tool(s) never declared a destructiveHint. The MCP spec treats an absent hint as destructive by default, so we cannot call this surface safe.
  - HTTPS is enforced; there's no plaintext access path.
  - HSTS check failed: the Strict-Transport-Security header is absent.
  - DNSSEC is configured correctly; the domain's records validate against the full chain to the root.
- **Transport & Reachability**: 100/100
  - Verified streamable-http transport via a live MCP handshake.
- **Schema Quality & AI Usability**: 68/100
  - AI-judged instruction clarity (excellent).
  - Context-footprint check failed: tool/resource definitions use about 1920 tokens (~160/item across 12 items; 12 tools + 0 resources), over budget; trim descriptions and params.
  - Usage-examples check failed: none of the tools include examples.
- **Stability & Change Management**: 27/100
  - Stability observed for 8 of 30 days with no destabilising changes; credit accrues until the full window elapses.
- **Tool Coverage**: 100/100
  - 100% of tools have a non-trivial description (not blank, and not just the tool's name).
  - 100% of tool parameters carry a description.
  - Structured output schemas are declared (100% of tools); any adoption earns full credit.
- **Capabilities**: 100/100
  - Implements a supported MCP spec version (2025-11-25); the latest is 2026-07-28.

## MCP tools (12)

### `attestation` (~167 tokens)

Manuscript attestation

Returns the WHNT-style Type/Editions manuscript-tradition columns as neutral text-critical data (e.g. Mark 16:9-20 = Type KO) - which editions carry a word, with no argument for or against a variant.

Input parameters:

- `book` (string, required): USFM book code (e.g. GEN, PSA, MAT, REV) or the full English book name, any case (e.g. Genesis, matthew)
- `chapter` (integer, required): chapter number
- `corpus` (string, required): word-tagged corpus: TAGNT, TAHOT, Swete, OSS-LXX-lemma
- `verse` (integer, required): verse number
- `word` (null|integer): 1-based word_no within the verse; omit for every word in the verse

Output parameters:

- `citations` (null|array)
- `engine` (string)
- `sources` (object)

### `cite` (~67 tokens)

Format citation

Renders Citations (from any of the above tools) as quoted, fully-attributed Markdown bullets - the only sanctioned bridge from a query result to pastable study-document text.

Input parameters:

- `citations` (array, required): Citations previously returned by another tool call, to render as a pastable reference block

Output parameters:

- `engine` (string)
- `text` (string)

### `concord_lemma` (~254 tokens)

Search concordance (lemma)

Complete-or-fail concordance: every words row in corpus whose lemma, dStrong, or (with by="surface") exact inflected surface form matches query. Route lemma/Strong's-number/surface-word lookups here, never by writing SQL or guessing occurrences from memory. This deployment caps one concordance result at 2000 occurrences and refuses anything broader, reporting the exact match count in the error. Call count first when a query might be broad - count is never capped.

Input parameters:

- `by` (string): optional match column override: lemma, dstrong, or surface. Omit for auto-detect (dStrong shape, else lemma) - surface must always be requested explicitly, it is never guessed
- `corpus` (string, required): word-tagged corpus to search: TAGNT (Greek NT), TAHOT (Hebrew OT), Swete (LXX surface), OSS-LXX-lemma (LXX lemma)
- `query` (string, required): a lemma (e.g. ἄφεσις), a disambiguated Strong's number (e.g. G0859, H7225G), or (with by="surface") the exact inflected word as it appears in the verse

Output parameters:

- `citations` (null|array)
- `engine` (string)
- `sources` (object)

### `concord_phrase` (~191 tokens)

Search concordance (phrase)

Complete-or-fail multi-word concordance: every occurrence, within one verse, of tokens (lemma strings) appearing in order within window intervening words of each other (window=0 = strictly adjacent). This is the tool for a phrase query like εἰς ἄφεσιν. This deployment caps one concordance result at 2000 occurrences and refuses anything broader, reporting the exact match count in the error. Call count first when a query might be broad - count is never capped.

Input parameters:

- `corpus` (string, required): word-tagged corpus to search: TAGNT, TAHOT, Swete, OSS-LXX-lemma
- `tokens` (array, required): ordered lemma strings to find co-occurring within one verse, e.g. ["εἰς","ἄφεσις"]
- `window` (integer, required): max words allowed between consecutive tokens; 0 = strictly adjacent

Output parameters:

- `citations` (null|array)
- `engine` (string)
- `sources` (object)

### `count` (~138 tokens)

Count occurrences

Occurrence tally (total + per-book breakdown) for the identical query concord_lemma would match. count.Total always equals len(concord_lemma(...)) - use this to sanity-check a concordance result, or when only the number matters.

Input parameters:

- `by` (string): optional match column override: lemma, dstrong, or surface, same as concord_lemma
- `corpus` (string, required): word-tagged corpus: TAGNT, TAHOT, Swete, OSS-LXX-lemma
- `query` (string, required): a lemma, dStrong, or (with by="surface") exact inflected word, same as concord_lemma

Output parameters:

- `by_book` (object)
- `total` (integer)

### `get_passage` (~175 tokens)

Get passage text

Returns get_verse's result for every canonical verse in a contiguous, single-book range, in order - verse boundaries preserved, never concatenated into one blob.

Input parameters:

- `book` (string, required): USFM book code (e.g. GEN, PSA, MAT, REV) or the full English book name, any case (e.g. Genesis, matthew)
- `editions` (array, required): verse-text editions to fetch verbatim text from: KJV, ASV, WEB, BSB, Brenton
- `end_chapter` (integer, required): last chapter of the range, inclusive
- `end_verse` (integer, required): last verse of the range, inclusive
- `start_chapter` (integer, required): first chapter of the range, inclusive
- `start_verse` (integer, required): first verse of the range, inclusive

Output parameters:

- `citations` (null|array)
- `engine` (string)
- `sources` (object)

### `get_verse` (~129 tokens)

Get verse text

Returns verbatim verse text with provenance for one canonical reference, one Citation per requested edition (KJV, ASV, WEB, BSB, Brenton).

Input parameters:

- `book` (string, required): USFM book code (e.g. GEN, PSA, MAT, REV) or the full English book name, any case (e.g. Genesis, matthew)
- `chapter` (integer, required): chapter number
- `editions` (array, required): verse-text editions to fetch verbatim text from: KJV, ASV, WEB, BSB, Brenton
- `verse` (integer, required): verse number

Output parameters:

- `citations` (null|array)
- `engine` (string)
- `sources` (object)

### `interlinear` (~210 tokens)

Interlinear reading view

Returns a row-aligned reading view for every word in a verse (or one word, if word is given): original text, transliteration, gloss (via lexicon_lookup), grammar, and manuscript attestation stacked per word - the composed display shape for a study reading view, built on parse and lexicon_lookup rather than any new query. This is the most complete per-word view; use parse or attestation when you want only one of those facets.

Input parameters:

- `book` (string, required): USFM book code (e.g. GEN, PSA, MAT, REV) or the full English book name, any case (e.g. Genesis, matthew)
- `chapter` (integer, required): chapter number
- `corpus` (string, required): word-tagged corpus: TAGNT, TAHOT, Swete, OSS-LXX-lemma
- `verse` (integer, required): verse number
- `word` (null|integer): 1-based word_no within the verse; omit for every word in the verse

Output parameters:

- `engine` (string)
- `sources` (object)
- `words` (null|array)

### `lemmatize` (~113 tokens)

List lemmas

Returns the ordered lemma list for a verse (words with no lemma are omitted, not fabricated).

Input parameters:

- `book` (string, required): USFM book code (e.g. GEN, PSA, MAT, REV) or the full English book name, any case (e.g. Genesis, matthew)
- `chapter` (integer, required): chapter number
- `corpus` (string, required): word-tagged corpus: TAGNT, TAHOT, Swete, OSS-LXX-lemma
- `verse` (integer, required): verse number

Output parameters:

- `citations` (null|array)
- `engine` (string)
- `sources` (object)

### `lexicon_lookup` (~153 tokens)

Lexicon lookup

Resolves a disambiguated Strong's number (dStrong) to its lexicon entry: lemma, transliteration, gloss, and - for a Greek entry only - a fuller definition (Abbott-Smith 1922, Public Domain). A Hebrew entry's definition field is always omitted: it is abridged BDB via Online Bible, which requires permission not yet obtained, so only its gloss is ever returned. Not to be confused with the get_verse/get_passage tools, which resolve a Ref to translated verse text, not a dStrong to a dictionary entry.

Input parameters:

- `dstrong` (string, required): a disambiguated Strong's number, e.g. G0859, H7225G

Output parameters:

- `definition` (null|string)
- `dstrong` (string)
- `gloss` (string)
- `language` (string)
- `lemma` (string)
- `translit` (string)

### `parse` (~170 tokens)

Parse morphology

Returns dStrong + expanded morphology (via the T6 morph_codes table) for every word in a verse, or one word if word is given. LXX corpora (Swete, OSS-LXX-lemma) are always Flagged - neither carries morphology.

Input parameters:

- `book` (string, required): USFM book code (e.g. GEN, PSA, MAT, REV) or the full English book name, any case (e.g. Genesis, matthew)
- `chapter` (integer, required): chapter number
- `corpus` (string, required): word-tagged corpus: TAGNT, TAHOT, Swete, OSS-LXX-lemma
- `verse` (integer, required): verse number
- `word` (null|integer): 1-based word_no within the verse; omit for every word in the verse

Output parameters:

- `citations` (null|array)
- `engine` (string)
- `sources` (object)

### `resolve_ref` (~153 tokens)

Resolve reference

Reports, for every per-verse content edition (KJV, ASV, WEB, BSB, Brenton, TAGNT, TAHOT, Swete, OSS-LXX-lemma), whether a canonical reference has a counterpart there and where. Cross-edition divergence (a T4b merge/renumber/divide, or a reference simply missing from an edition) is reported as Caveats - never a silent shift.

Input parameters:

- `book` (string, required): USFM book code (e.g. GEN, PSA, MAT, REV) or the full English book name, any case (e.g. Genesis, matthew)
- `chapter` (integer, required): chapter number
- `verse` (integer, required): verse number

Output parameters:

- `addresses` (null|array)
- `caveats` (null|array)
- `ref` (object)
