Allows deployment of MCP servers on Cloudflare Workers platform, providing a scalable serverless environment for hosting MCP tools and services
Gospel Library MCP Server (Unofficial)
This is a Model Context Protocol server for LLM interfaces such as Claude, ChatGPT, or LM Studio. You can set up a remote server via Cloudflare Workers (free), or you can run the MCP server locally using node.
Quick Deploy
One-click deployment to Cloudflare Workers - Sets up your own free MCP server instance in under 2 minutes.
Tools Overview
Current active tools:
- get_exact_scripture - Fetch an exact LDS scripture verse or short contiguous range
- reference (string, required): A verse or short range like "John 3:16", "Alma 32:27-28", "1 Nephi 3:7". Range limit: ≤50 verses.
- Fuzzy matching supported: "Matt 5:16" → "Matthew 5:16", "Omni 7" → "Omni 1:7", "Doc 121" → "D&C 121"
- Always call before quoting scripture wording to ensure accuracy.
- search_scriptures_by_keyword - Search LDS scriptures by keyword/phrase for topic discovery
- query (string, required): Keyword or short phrase (<100 chars), e.g. "charity", "plan of salvation", "endure to the end"
- limit (number, optional): Max number of results (default 10, max 20)
- Use before teaching on a topic or when user asks "verses about X".
- get_random_scripture - Return a single random scripture verse
- No parameters required
- Useful for daily verse prompts or inspiration.
- search_conference_talks - General Conference talks search and retrieval
- id (number, optional): Specific talk ID to retrieve full talk
- query (string, optional): Keyword(s)/phrase to search in talk content (<100 chars)
- speaker (string, optional): Speaker name with fuzzy matching. E.g. "Nelson", "Russell M. Nelson", "Russel Nelson"
- conference (string, optional): Conference identifier with fuzzy matching. E.g. "April 2023", "Oct 2022", "October 1990"
- limit (number, optional): Maximum results (default 10, max 20)
Enhanced Features:
- Fuzzy matching: "Russel M. Nelson" matches "Russell M. Nelson", "Oct 1990" matches "October 1990"
- Smart single results: When only 1 talk matches, returns full talk content automatically
- Intelligent filtering: Combines multiple parameters for precise searches
- Always fetch before quoting to ensure accuracy.
Typical Query Flows

Key Features
Scripture Tools:
- Comprehensive coverage: Bible, Book of Mormon, Doctrine & Covenants, Pearl of Great Price
- Intelligent fuzzy matching: Handles abbreviations and common misspellings
- Flexible reference parsing: Supports "Book Chapter", "Book Verse" (assumes chapter 1), and D&C sections
- Fast keyword search: Full-text search across all scriptures
- Random verse generator: Perfect for daily inspiration
Conference Talk Tools:
- Modern prophet teachings: Conference talks from April 1971 onward
- Smart speaker matching: Finds speakers even with typos ("Russel" → "Russell")
- Conference abbreviations: "Oct 1990" → "October 1990", "Apr 2023" → "April 2023"
- Intelligent results: Single matches return full talk content automatically
- Multi-parameter filtering: Combine speaker, conference, and keyword searches
Error / Guidance Messages
The tools return actionable hints when no results are found, suggesting alternative search approaches or parameter adjustments.

Local Database Priority (Local -> D1)
At runtime the server resolves the database in this order:
- Local file
gospel-library.db
(Node using better-sqlite3 if available, otherwise Bun's built-in sqlite) - Cloudflare D1 binding
DB
(only if no local file connection was established)
Place a SQLite dump named gospel-library.db
in the project root to operate entirely offline. The same tools work unchanged.
Connecting a Client
There are two ways to connect to a client: locally and remotely. For developer use, local is recommended. Remote is easier to set up and uses the Cloudflare endpoint.
Local
Example config snippet:
Remote
Option 1: One-Click Deploy (Recommended)
This will:
- Fork the repository to your GitHub account
- Set up a Cloudflare Workers deployment
- Configure the D1 database automatically
- Deploy your MCP server instance
Once deployed, use your Worker URL with the /sse
endpoint in your MCP client.
Option 2: Manual Deployment
- Clone this repository
- Install dependencies:
npm install
- Set up Cloudflare Workers CLI:
npm install -g wrangler
- Login to Cloudflare:
wrangler login
- Create D1 database:
wrangler d1 create gospel-library
- Update database ID in
wrangler.jsonc
- Deploy:
wrangler deploy
Option 3: Use Existing Deployment
No authentication is required to use this tool. You will need a client that supports remote MCP servers, such as Claude on a Pro plan or ChatGPT on a Pro plan.

Future Enhancements (Ideas)
- Ranking improvements or FTS.
- Citation generation referencing talk paragraphs.
- Caching of frequent queries.
- Footnotes
- Optionally allow for web scraping
- More resources from Gospel Library
This server cannot be installed
remote-capable server
The server can be hosted and run remotely because it primarily relies on remote services or has no dependency on the local environment.
Enables access to LDS Gospel Library content and scriptures through the Model Context Protocol. Provides tools for searching and retrieving religious texts and study materials from the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints.
