Ever asked an AI chatbot for a Bible verse and gotten something that doesn't quite exist? It happens more than you'd think — and it can lead people astray or even run into copyright issues with Bible publishers. Bible MCP solves this by giving AI tools direct access to real, verified Scripture text.^1
Built on the Model Context Protocol (MCP), Bible MCP is a lightweight server that connects AI assistants like Claude, Cursor, and others to the Free Use Bible API from AO Lab — a nonprofit dedicated to making God's Word freely accessible.^2 The server provides three tools: look up specific verses or verse ranges, fetch full chapters, and browse available translations. It defaults to the Berean Standard Bible and supports all 66 books of the Protestant Bible across hundreds of translations.^3
The project is fully open source, hosted on Val.Town, and built with Deno, Hono, and the official MCP SDK.^4 It's also registered on Smithery, where it holds a 95/100 quality score with nearly 1,900 tool calls and 99.76% uptime — used by developers in Cursor, Claude.ai, Claude Code, and Smithery's own playground.^5
Created by Cameron Pak, the founder of faith.tools, Bible MCP was born from a conviction that AI should be able to quote Scripture accurately — not hallucinate it. The endpoint is simple: point your MCP client to https://bible-mcp.faith.tools/mcp and you're set.^1
Notable- Nearly 1,900 tool calls tracked on Smithery with 99.76% uptime^5
- Used across Smithery (1,004 calls), Claude.ai (366), Claude Code (300), and Cursor (169)^5
- 2 community remixes on Val.Town^4
- Powered by the same Free Use Bible API behind several other faith.tools-listed apps^2
- Open source — view and remix the code anytime^4
