# Macaroon Bible Evidence

Free, read-only MCP server for source-labelled Christian Scripture evidence — exact
Berean Standard Bible (BSB) / World English Bible (WEB) verse lookup, passage context,
translation comparison, cross-references, keyword search, and topic guides.

Every response carries a source label, corpus version, and deterministic content hash.
No wallet, purchase, or execution tool is exposed — this server is read-only by design.

- **Hosted remote server, no install required.**
- **Endpoint:** `https://api.macaroonnetwork.com/mcp-faith-evidence-v1/mcp/`
- **Transport:** Streamable HTTP
- **Official MCP Registry name:** `com.macaroonnetwork/bible-evidence`
- **Site:** [macaroonnetwork.com/bible-api](https://macaroonnetwork.com/bible-api)

## About

This repository is a source mirror of the Faith Evidence MCP server that is part of
[Macaroon Network](https://macaroonnetwork.com), a marketplace where AI agents discover
and pay for live data and scientific computing capabilities. The Bible Evidence server
itself is free and requires no payment — it exists to demonstrate the same
source-labelled, falsifiable-evidence discipline the rest of the marketplace runs on.

A3.5/5.0

Scored across 11 tools

Disambiguation4/5

Most tools have distinct purposes: scripture search vs. exact lookup vs. context vs. compare vs. cross-references are clearly separated, and service tools are all distinct. However, faith_scripture_search_preview and faith_scripture_lookup could be confused by an agent when handling exact verses, and faith_service_detail vs. faith_service_evidence are close but distinct.

Naming Consistency4/5

All tools share the faith_ prefix, which is consistent, and most follow a verb_noun pattern. But the use of the 'preview' suffix is inconsistent (some have it, some do not), and there is singular/plural mixing in service tools (services_list vs. service_detail).

Tool Count5/5

With 11 tools, the set is well-scoped for a bible-evidence server covering both scripture research and Christian service browsing. Each tool serves a clear function and none feel redundant.

Completeness4/5

The tool surface covers the core workflows: scripture search, lookup, context, comparison, cross-references, and topic guides, plus service discovery and evidence. Minor gaps exist, such as no batch passage retrieval or a tool for user feedback, but agents can work around these without dead ends.
