Server tool list (7)

Raw names from tools/list. Only developers need these.

get_verseFetches one exact Bible verse or a contiguous verse range from a specific version. Use this when the book, chapter, verse, and version are already known. For natural references such as "John 3:16-18", prefer get_passage.
get_chapterFetches a full Bible chapter from a specific version, formatted in Markdown with numbered verses. Use this when the user needs chapter-level context instead of an isolated verse.
get_passageFetches a Bible passage from a natural-language reference such as "John 3:16-18", "João 3:16", "Romans 8:1-11", or "Psalm 23". This is the primary lookup tool when the user gives a citation instead of structured book/chapter/verse fields.
search_bibleSearches for a keyword or exact phrase in one Bible version and returns matching verse references in Markdown. Use this for discovery questions like "find verses about love in KJV". For direct citation lookup, use get_passage or get_verse.
compare_passageCompares the same Bible passage across multiple Bible versions and returns a Markdown side-by-side style comparison. Use this for translation comparison, sermon preparation, or study questions. For a single version, use get_passage.
list_versionsLists Bible versions available to the current MCP connection, automatically respecting URL filters such as ?v=nvi,kjv and ?lang=pt-br,en. Use this before lookup, search, or comparison when the user has not specified a version.
list_booksLists the 66 canonical Bible books with localized names, slugs, abbreviations, testament grouping, and chapter counts. Use this when an agent needs valid book identifiers or localized display names before calling lookup tools.
