Available tools 5

Read directly from the server with tools/list, grouped by what they act on. If a tool disappears, we record the date.

reading
get_reading_plan_day
Returns the passages for one day of a Cross + Covenant reading plan, by day number or, for the one-year M'Cheyne plan, by calendar date (today in Mountain Time when neither is given). With include_text, also returns the passage text (up to 150 verses) in the World English Bible or King James Version.
list_reading_plans
Lists the Cross + Covenant Bible reading plans: the M'Cheyne one-year plan, which follows the calendar, and five short topical plans (hope, peace, strength, the Psalms, the life of Jesus). Gives each plan's id, length and purpose.
devotional
get_devotional
Returns the Cross + Covenant daily devotional for a date: a scripture passage in the World English Bible or King James Version, a short reflection, and a prayer. Defaults to today in Mountain Time. On a date without a devotional available here, returns that day's scripture instead.
passage
get_passage
Returns the text of a Bible passage from the World English Bible or the King James Version, both public domain. Accepts a verse, a range, whole chapters, or several references joined with ";" (for example "John 3:16", "Psalm 23", "Romans 8:28-39", "1 Cor 13:4-7; Micah 6:8"). Up to 150 verses or 2 chapters per call; a longer request returns the first part and names the rest.
scripture
search_scripture
Finds Bible verses containing the given words in the World English Bible or the King James Version, ranked by how closely each verse matches. Common words are ignored, and a word also matches longer forms (fear matches fears and feared). Can be limited to one book or one testament.

Cross + Covenant Bible — questions

Answers built from our own checks of this server.

What can Cross + Covenant Bible do?
It exposes 5 tools, read directly from the server on our last check. Among them: get_devotional, get_passage, get_reading_plan_day, list_reading_plans, search_scripture. The full list with descriptions is on this page — we take it from the server itself via tools/list, not from a README. How MCP servers expose tools in the first place →
Is Cross + Covenant Bible working right now?
We send a real MCP handshake every 15 minutes. Over the last 24 hours 0 of 91 checks got a reply (0.0%), average response time 102 ms. The bar chart above shows every period we have measured.
The registry lists Cross + Covenant Bible as active — why does it not respond?
The official MCP registry stores what the author submitted; it does not verify that the server still runs. We check the endpoint ourselves, and this one does not answer. Catalogues that copy the registry without checking will show it as working.
How do I connect Cross + Covenant Bible?
Copy the ready config from this page. We generate it for Claude Code, Claude Desktop, Codex, Cursor and VS Code, each in the form that client actually reads. It is a remote server, so there is nothing to install — the client connects to the address.
Does Cross + Covenant Bible need an API key?
No. Cross + Covenant Bible completed a full MCP handshake with us as an anonymous client and listed its tools without asking for anything. All 5 of them are readable on this page. This is what we observed, not what the docs claim.
