What is the Bible By Midvash MCP server?

Most developer tooling work still happens through a UI a human drives. Bible By Midvash MCP server moves it into the conversation instead. Free, no-key Bible MCP server — 86 translations in 32 languages, from any MCP client.

The short version

Generate your personal connection URL at mcp.midvash.com and add it to your MCP client. URLs look like:

Getting it running

Because this one is hosted, setup is mostly authentication — you point your client at the endpoint and approve access. Nothing runs on your machine, so there is no runtime to keep patched.

The tools it exposes

The server publishes 11 tools. What each one is for:

  • get_verse — Fetch a single verse or a verse range
  • get_chapter — Fetch a full chapter
  • get_passage — Fetch a passage from a free-form reference (e.g. "John 3:16-18") — the most natural way to cite scripture
  • search_bible — Search the Bible text for words or an exact phrase, ranked by relevance (BM25) over an FTS5 index. Case- and accent-insensitive, optionally filtered
  • compare_passage — Compare the same passage across multiple Bible versions
  • list_versions — List available Bible versions/translations
  • list_books — List the 66 books, optionally filtered by testament
  • search_study — Search the study library — chapter commentaries, Bible characters, dictionary entries and theology articles — in 9 languages
  • get_commentary — Fetch the commentary for the chapter a reference points to. All 1,189 chapters, in 9 languages
  • get_cross_references — Find other passages that relate to a verse, ranked by how widely the link is attested. 343,546 links
  • get_strongs — Look up a word in Strong's lexicon by number ("H430") or by the word itself. 14,197 entries, definitions in 9 languages

What it needs from you

Configuration is passed through the environment: CLOUDFLARE_API_TOKEN, CLOUDFLARE_ACCOUNT_ID. Treat anything key-shaped as a real credential — scope it to the minimum the server needs, and rotate it if it ever lands in a shared config.

Things to watch

  • Your data travels to the provider's service, so the usual questions apply about what you send and what they retain.
  • With 11 tools registered it takes up a noticeable share of the context window; turn it off in projects that never touch Bible By Midvash.
  • Missing credentials fail quietly in some clients — if no tools show up, check the environment block first.
  • Keep per-call confirmation enabled while you learn its behaviour; it is the cheapest safeguard you have.

How it compares

Plenty of developer tooling servers cover similar ground. The differences that matter in practice are scope of access and how much setup stands between you and a working tool call. Bible By Midvash's toolset — get_verse, get_chapter, get_passage and 8 more — is a fair guide to whether it matches your workflow. It is maintained by com.midvash; worth a glance at recent repository activity before you build anything load-bearing on it.

SyncDev reviews every entry in this directory against the project's own documentation before publishing, and revisits them as servers change.
