📖 Multilingual Holy Bible MCP Server

MCP Protocol License: MIT Languages: 800+ Verses: 11.9M Platform: macOS | Windows | Linux

A high-performance, 100% offline, zero-latency Model Context Protocol (MCP) Server designed to connect Large Language Models (LLMs) to 11,907,047 Biblical verses across 1,081 translations in 800+ languages.

Equipped with strict theological guardrails (bible_scholar system prompt), Greek/Hebrew Strong's lexicon verification, and SHA-256 Merkle Root cryptographic integrity.


🌟 Key Features

  • ⚡️ Zero-ML High-Speed Engine: Built on SQLite FTS5 with Memory-Mapped I/O (PRAGMA mmap_size), secondary SQL indexes, and an in-memory LRU cache (< 1.25 ms query response).

  • 🔒 Cryptographic Proof (Merkle Root): Every verse is SHA-256 hashed. Global Merkle Root: e221d09e3870ddc23d3e1f62858a12b4152792847b911728371d39fa85279bb3.

  • 🛡 Strict Theological Guardrails: Built-in bible_scholar system prompt prevents LLM hallucinations by forcing AIs (Claude, GPT, Gemini) to rely exclusively on scripture and verify Greek/Hebrew roots.

  • 💻 100% Cross-Platform & Offline: Runs natively on macOS (M-Series ARM / Intel), Windows (x64 / ARM64), and Linux.
