List every book available in this corpus with its English name, localized name, and the link to its first chapter. Call this to discover valid book names for get_chapter / get_verse.

browse

subjects

list_subjects

List the subjects (categories) you can browse, such as the Weekly Torah Portion, Holidays, Daily Study, Psalms (Tehillim), Bible Stories, and Characters. Each returns a code to pass to browse_subject. Call this to discover what is available before browsing.

Is Hebrew Bible (Tanakh) working right now?

We send a real MCP handshake every 15 minutes. Over the last 24 hours 92 of 92 checks got a reply (100.0%), average response time 298 ms. The bar chart above shows every period we have measured.

How do I connect Hebrew Bible (Tanakh)?

Copy the ready config from this page — we generate it for Claude Code, Claude Desktop, Codex, Cursor and VS Code, each with the file path that client actually reads. It is a remote server, so there is nothing to install — the client connects to the address.

Does Hebrew Bible (Tanakh) need an API key?

No. Hebrew Bible (Tanakh) completed a full MCP handshake with us as an anonymous client and listed its tools without asking for anything. All 6 of them are readable on this page. This is what we observed, not what the docs claim.

How fast is Hebrew Bible (Tanakh)?

It answers our handshake in 298 ms on average, which is faster than 51% of all working MCP servers we measure. The comparison comes from our own checks across the whole registry, every 15 minutes.

Is Hebrew Bible (Tanakh) open source?

We cannot say either way: 0 stars on GitHub and 1 open issue, but we could not determine the licence, and without one the code is not open source by default.
