Bible MCP

Free, no-key Model Context Protocol server for the public Bible API. Read scripture across 35+ public-domain translations in 8 languages from any MCP client — Claude, Cursor, and anything else that speaks MCP. Served from Cloudflare's edge. Powers mcp.midvash.com.

• No API key, no auth, no signup. Just point your client at the URL.
• HTTP Streamable transport (stateless JSON-RPC over POST).
• Built on Cloudflare Workers + R2, backed by the same content as api.midvash.com.

Connecting a client

Generate your personal connection URL at mcp.midvash.com and add it to your MCP client. URLs look like:

https://mcp.midvash.com/mcp/{id}?v=nvi,kjv&lang=pt-br,en

• v — comma-separated version slugs to expose (optional; omit for all).
• lang — comma-separated languages to expose (optional; omit for all).

Example (Claude Desktop / mcp.json):

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "bible": {
      "url": "https://mcp.midvash.com/mcp/{id}?v=nvi,kjv&lang=pt-br,en"
    }
  }
}
