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 four tools: look up specific verses or verse ranges, fetch full chapters, browse available translations, and retrieve verses with UI-formatted output. 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 an 87/100 quality score with over 1,600 tool calls across major AI developer platforms and 98.4% uptime — used in Claude Code, Claude.ai, Cursor, and Smithery's own playground.^3
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
