Bible by Midvash missed one check this week
Everything else answered, so this is steady rather than shaky. We check every 15 minutes, which is how a one-off gets told apart from the start of a pattern, and how you hear about the next one within the hour instead of from your users.

Read directly from the server with tools/list, grouped by what they act on.
If a tool disappears, we record the date.
bible
search_bible
Searches the Bible text for words or an exact phrase and returns matching verses ranked by relevance. Matching ignores letter case and accents; wrap the query in double quotes for an exact phrase. Use this for discovery questions like "find verses about love". For a known citation, use get_passage or get_verse.
books
list_books
Lists the 66 canonical Bible books with localized names, slugs, abbreviations, testament grouping, and chapter counts. Use this when an agent needs valid book identifiers or localized display names before calling lookup tools.
chapter
get_chapter
Fetches a full Bible chapter from a specific version, formatted in Markdown with numbered verses. Use this when the user needs chapter-level context instead of an isolated verse.
commentary
get_commentary
Fetches the Midvash commentary for the chapter a reference points to — what the chapter is about, its context and its main movements. Every one of the 1,189 Bible chapters has one, in 9 languages. Use this for "what is this chapter about" questions. For the text itself, use get_passage. Returns a summary with a link to the full commentary.
compare
compare_passage
Compares the same Bible passage across multiple Bible versions and returns a Markdown side-by-side style comparison. Use this for translation comparison, sermon preparation, or study questions. For a single version, use get_passage.
cross
get_cross_references
Finds other Bible passages that relate to a given verse, ranked by how widely the link is attested. This answers "what else in Scripture speaks to this?" — the standard next step in study after reading a verse. Returns each related passage with its text, so no follow-up lookup is needed.
passage
get_passage
Fetches Bible passages from natural-language references such as "John 3:16-18", "Psalm 23", "Romans 8:1-9:5" (crossing chapters) or "John 3:16; Romans 8:1" (several at once). This is the primary lookup tool when the user gives a citation instead of structured book/chapter/verse fields.
strongs
get_strongs
Looks up a word in Strong's lexicon — 8,674 Hebrew and 5,523 Greek entries — by Strong's number ("H430", "G2316") or by the word itself, in the original script or transliterated ("elohim", "θεός"). Returns the lemma, transliteration, definition and senses, translated into the requested language. Use it when the question is what an original-language word means.
study
search_study
Searches Midvash's Bible study library: chapter commentaries, Bible characters, dictionary entries, and theology articles, in 9 languages. Use this for background and explanation — who a person was, what a term means, what a chapter is about. For the biblical text itself, use search_bible or get_passage. Results are summaries with a link to the full article.
verse
get_verse
Fetches one exact Bible verse or a contiguous verse range from a specific version. Use this when the book, chapter, verse, and version are already known. For natural references such as "John 3:16-18", prefer get_passage.
versions
list_versions
Lists Bible versions available to the current MCP connection, automatically respecting URL filters such as ?v=nvi,kjv and ?lang=pt-br,en. Use this before lookup, search, or comparison when the user has not specified a version.
