SoapBox Faith — MCP Server

Faith tools for AI agents: cited, public-domain (KJV) Scripture, ORA Bible Q&A, real sermon search, a church directory, and consent-gated prayer & giving. This is the official Model Context Protocol server for SoapBox Super App.

It's a thin protocol adapter: it speaks MCP (JSON-RPC 2.0 over Streamable HTTP) and forwards each tool call to SoapBox's hosted Faith Content API, which owns the auth, metering, and content logic.

• Hosted endpoint (no need to run this yourself): https://foyekanoxpnkydoibaas.supabase.co/functions/v1/faith-mcp
• Transport: Streamable HTTP (JSON-RPC 2.0)
• Connect guide: https://soapboxsuperapp.com/for-agents · API reference: https://soapboxsuperapp.com/developers

Auth — keyless-first

The read tools need no API key — point your client at the endpoint and call them (per-IP rate-limited). A key is required only for tools that cost money to run or act on a user's behalf. Pass it as Authorization: Bearer <key> when needed; self-serve one at https://soapboxsuperapp.com/developers.

Free (no key)	Key required
verify_scripture · get_verse · lookup_strongs · find_churches · ask_ora · search_sermons · get_sermon · get_lectionary · browse_catalog · score_doctrinal_fit	synthesize_speech · purchase_sermon · purchase_bundle · pay_with_x402 · get_credit_balance · submit_prayer_request · check_prayer_status · give_to_church · get_faith_context

Prayer and giving additionally require an explicit, user-issued consent token (they act on a real person's behalf). Prayer submits a request to a live human community prayer wall — the AI does not "pray for you." Giving is passthrough — SoapBox takes no cut of donations. Sermon purchases are a content sale (church keeps 70% of net; SoapBox is Merchant of Record on sales only).

Connect from Claude (remote MCP)

Add a custom connector with the hosted URL above. Free tools work immediately; add an Authorization: Bearer <key> header to unlock the key-gated tools.

Highlights

• Anti-hallucination: call verify_scripture before presenting any Bible quote — it confirms the quote is real and cited to the correct KJV reference.
• Grounded Q&A: ask_ora returns KJV-cited answers (a study aid, crisis-safe — not a counselor).
• Real, consented content: search_sermons covers sermons pastors explicitly opted in to share with agents.
• Agent-native payments: pay_with_x402 pays per-call in USDC on Base (x402) — no account required.

Run it yourself

# Deno 2.x
deno run --allow-net --allow-env index.ts        # serves on http://localhost:8000

# or Docker
docker build -t soapbox-faith .
docker run -p 8000:8000 soapbox-faith

SUPABASE_URL defaults to the production host, so read tools work out of the box. The MCP handshake (initialize, tools/list, resources/list) needs no configuration.

Resources

• soapbox://catalog — the live faith-content catalog as JSON (via MCP resources/read).
