biblebridge-mcp

Lightweight, production-ready MCP server for fast, structured Scripture access, semantic exploration, contextual retrieval, and theological analysis via the BibleBridge API.

---

• Node.js: 18+
• BibleBridge API Key: Free tier included — upgrade at holybible.dev for higher limits

---

git clone https://github.com/your-username/biblebridge-mcp.git
cd biblebridge-mcp
npm install
node server.js

Runs instantly with a built-in demo key (bb_free_demo) — no setup required. Each installation gets its own quota via a unique client ID, so you won't share limits with other users. For production use, get a free personal API key at holybible.dev/signup.

git clone https://github.com/your-username/biblebridge-mcp.git
cd biblebridge-mcp
npm install

The server works out of the box with the demo key. To use your own API key (recommended for any real usage):

Copy .env.example to .env:

BIBLEBRIDGE_API_KEY=your_key_here

Get a free key at holybible.dev/signup — 500 requests/day, no credit card required.
