What is the Orthotomeo MCP server?

Connect Orthotomeo to Claude, Cursor or any other MCP client and it stops being a tab you switch to. Read-only scripture-study engine: complete-or-fail concordance over Greek NT, Hebrew OT, LXX. The orthotomeo mcp server is what makes that connection.

What the server does

orthotomeo is a read-only scripture-study engine. It imports a multi-edition biblical corpus (Greek New Testament, Hebrew Old Testament, Septuagint, and public-domain English translations) into a derived SQLite database, then serves verbatim, provenance-tagged lookups and complete-or-fail concordance over it - through an MCP server, a CLI, or as a Go library.

  • Romans 3:4 — - "let God be true, and every man a liar." Human sources -
  • 1 Peter 4:11 — - *"If any man speak, let him speak as the oracles of God;
  • 2 Timothy 2:15 — - the commission this project is named for, not just framed

Installation

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.

Where it fits

This sits in the developer tooling group, where several servers overlap in what they claim to do but differ sharply once you actually set them up. It is maintained by jrainsberger; worth a glance at recent repository activity before you build anything load-bearing on it.

This entry was verified against Orthotomeo's own documentation before publication; SyncDev keeps the directory reviewed rather than auto-generated.

Worth knowing first

  • Your data travels to the provider's service, so the usual questions apply about what you send and what they retain.
  • Keep per-call confirmation enabled while you learn its behaviour; it is the cheapest safeguard you have.

Frequently asked questions

It connects Orthotomeo to MCP-compatible AI assistants such as Claude and Cursor. Instead of copying data back and forth by hand, the assistant works with Orthotomeo directly.
