Capabilities

What this server is able to do. For an MCP server this is often the job itself — a terminal server runs commands because that is what it is for. Listed so you know what you are plugging in, not as an accusation.

Builds a file path from a variable src/lib/edition-import.ts:93

  const licencePath = path.join(generatePath, 'bibles_raw', id, 'license.json');

Is this your server and something here is wrong? Tell us — corrections are free and do not require a plan.

This code can reach further than it looks

We found places where it runs commands, builds paths or queries from values it is given. None of that is a flaw by itself — it becomes one when the code changes, and code changes quietly between releases. We re-read it on every one.

Available tools 21

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

original

get_original_text

The Hebrew (Old Testament, Leningrad Codex) or Greek (New Testament, SBLGNT) text of a passage, optionally word by word with an explanation of each word. The word explanations are written in Norwegian; translate them for the user when needed.

search_original_word

Finds every verse where a Hebrew or Greek word occurs, ignoring accents and cantillation (e.g. ἀγάπη, λόγος, חֶסֶד). Returns the source text and the translation side by side.

bible

search_bible

Finds verses containing ALL the given words in one edition. Words match as substrings, so a stem finds its forms ("forgiv" finds forgive, forgiven, forgiveness). Put a phrase in double quotes to match it exactly. Search an edition in the language of the words, e.g. osen or kjv for English, osnb/osnn for Norwegian, sblgnt/tanach for Greek/Hebrew spellings.

book

get_book_overview

An introduction to a whole book of the Bible: author, date, audience, structure and main themes.

chapter

get_chapter_study

Everything bible.flogvit.com has about one chapter: summary, historical context, key words, the people in it, themes, stories, prophecies, gospel parallels and timeline events. Give a chapter ("Rom 8"); verses are ignored.

church

get_church_year_readings

The Bible readings the Church of Norway (Den norske kirke) appoints for a Sunday or feast day, from the lectionary bible.flogvit.com shows: each reading with its title and passage (alternatives marked "or"), the year's text series, and what the day is about. Give a date, a day's name, or nothing for the next day with readings. The lectionary runs from Advent 2025 to the end of 2028. Day names and reading titles are in Norwegian; translate them for the user when needed.

cross

get_cross_references

Other passages that relate to each verse of a passage, with a short note on how. Read them with get_passage (several references in one call, separated by ";").

daily

get_daily_verse

Today's verse on bible.flogvit.com, with a short note.

editions

list_editions

The Bible editions available, with language and licence: osnb (Norwegian Bokmål), osnn (Norwegian Nynorsk), osen (English), oses (Spanish) are open CC BY 4.0 translations made by the free-bible project directly from the Hebrew and Greek; sblgnt (Greek New Testament), tanach (Hebrew Old Testament) are the source texts; kjv (King James Version, English), web (World English Bible), bsb (Berean Standard Bible, English), asv (American Standard Version, English), luther_1912 (Luther 1912, German), segond_1910 (Louis Segond 1910, French), rv_1909 (Reina-Valera 1909, Spanish) are public-domain translations.

gospel

get_gospel_parallels

The same event as Matthew, Mark, Luke and John each tell it: the parallels that cover a passage, with every Gospel's passage side by side and, if asked, each text in turn. Called with no reference, it lists all the parallels by section.

number

get_number

What a number means in the Bible (e.g. 7, 12, 40, 666) and every passage where it carries that meaning. Called with no number, it lists every number that has an entry, with its meaning.

passage

get_passage

Returns the text of one or more passages, side by side in the requested editions, with a link to the chapter on bible.flogvit.com. Use include_notes for the translators' footnotes (translation choices, Greek/Hebrew linguistics, textual criticism, history, theology) and alternative renderings.

people

search_people

Finds people by name or by what is said about them ("king Judah", "prophetess"). Returns ids for get_person.

person

get_person

One person: summary, family, related people and key events with the passages where they happen.

prophecies

get_prophecies

Prophecies in the Bible with the passage that makes them, the passages that fulfil them, and an explanation: those made or fulfilled in a passage ("Isa 53", "Matt 2"), those in a category, or all of them by category when called with no arguments.

references

check_references

Finds every Bible reference in a piece of running text — a sermon, a manuscript, an article — and says for each one where it stands (line and column), whether it exists, and what the verses say, so a quotation can be compared with the text it cites. A reference that points past the end of a chapter or book is reported as a problem. Book names must be capitalised, as in text written for a reader.

story

get_story

A Bible story by its name: what happens, where it is told, and the text itself, e.g. "The Prodigal Son", "David and Goliath", "Jonah". Names in English and Norwegian both work. Other stories the name could mean are listed with their ids.

timeline

get_timeline

Events in the order they happened, with year, description and the passages they are told in: for a period ("the exile"), a span of years, or events that mention a person or place. Called with no arguments, it lists the periods with their years. Years before Christ are negative. The world timeline gives what happened in the world around at the same time.

topic

get_topic

The full entry for an id from search_topics or get_chapter_study, with the passages it is built on.

topics

search_topics

Searches the study material: Bible stories (e.g. "prodigal son"), themes (e.g. "forgiveness"), prophecies and their fulfilment, gospel parallels and timeline events. Returns ids for get_topic.

verse

list_verse_mappings

The verse numberings (KVN mappings) the tools can read references in and number answers in, for the mapping argument of get_passage, get_original_text, get_cross_references, check_references and others. Bible editions number some verses differently — whether a psalm heading is a verse, where a chapter breaks — and a reference copied from one edition can point at another verse in the site's own numbering (osnb). Find the id by the edition's name or language, e.g. "king james", "dnb2024", "german", "swahili".

FLOGVIT.bible — questions

Answers built from our own checks of this server.

What can FLOGVIT.bible do?

It exposes 21 tools, read directly from the server on our last check. Among them: check_references, get_book_overview, get_chapter_study, get_church_year_readings, get_cross_references, get_daily_verse and 15 more. 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 FLOGVIT.bible working right now?

We send a real MCP handshake every 15 minutes. Over the last 24 hours 91 of 91 checks got a reply (100.0%), average response time 176 ms. The bar chart above shows every period we have measured.

How do I connect FLOGVIT.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 FLOGVIT.bible need an API key?

No. FLOGVIT.bible completed a full MCP handshake with us as an anonymous client and listed its tools without asking for anything. All 21 of them are readable on this page. This is what we observed, not what the docs claim.

How fast is FLOGVIT.bible?

It answers our handshake in 176 ms on average, which is faster than 77% of all working MCP servers we measure. That puts it in the quick quarter of the ecosystem. The comparison comes from our own checks across the whole registry, every 15 minutes.

Is FLOGVIT.bible open source?

We cannot say either way: written in TypeScript, 0 stars on GitHub and 33 open issues, but we could not determine the licence, and without one the code is not open source by default.
