Bible MCP

I want it to be super easy to be able to request Bible text through an MCP server.

We use the Bible API at https://bible.helloao.org/api for getting Scripture text.

MCP Server Implementation (mcp.ts)

The MCP server provides two tools:

  • get_verse: Fetches Bible verses (single or range)
  • get_chapter: Fetches a complete Bible chapter

Supported books: All 66 Protestant Bible books (Genesis through Revelation)

Default translation: BSB (Berean Study Bible)

Book name normalization: Converts full book names to standard abbreviations (e.g., Genesis -> GEN)

HTTP Server Setup (index.ts)

Uses Hono framework for the HTTP server:

  • /mcp endpoint: Handles MCP communication using StreamableHTTPServerTransport
  • / endpoint: Returns "Hello World"

Stack:

  • Deno - Deno runtime via Val.Town
  • Hono - HTTP Server framework
  • @modelcontextprotocol/sdk - MCP SDK
  • fetch-to-node - Fetch API compatibility
  • Muppet - MCP Server Framework
  • zod - Schema validation
