Corpus
Three complete translations, all public domain
Verse counts are exact and worth checking against your own reference, because a translation that silently drops or merges verses will quietly corrupt any cross-reference you build on it.
| Translation | Verses | Status |
|---|---|---|
| World English Bible | 31,098 | Public domain |
| King James Version | 31,102 | Public domain |
| American Standard Version | 31,086 | Public domain |
| ESV, NIV, NKJV, NLT, CSB and NASB are not bundled. They are under copyright and we do not have redistribution rights, so the server will not return their text. Do not build a workflow that assumes it will. | ||

Common questions
Questions developers ask first
Is Barzel Scripture Intelligence really free?
Yes — free and unmetered, with no signup, no key and no card. It is published at https://scripture-intelligence-server.mcpize.run and there is no paid tier. It is also the fastest way to confirm your MCP client speaks to a Barzel server correctly before you pay for one that governs production systems.
Which Bible translations are included?
Three complete public-domain translations: the World English Bible at 31,098 verses, the King James Version at 31,102, and the American Standard Version at 31,086. Verse counts are exact and worth checking against your own reference, because a translation that silently drops or merges verses will corrupt any cross-reference built on it.
Are the NIV, ESV or NKJV available?
No. ESV, NIV, NKJV, NLT, CSB and NASB are under copyright and we do not hold redistribution rights, so the server will not return their text. Do not build a workflow that assumes it will.
How many tools does it expose?
54 tools, 36 resources and 75 prompts — the largest surface of any Barzel server. Coverage includes scripture search across all three translations, verse and passage lookup, passage analysis, cross-references, theology reference, Hebrew and Greek word study, sermon preparation and devotional composition.
Do I need an Authorization header?
No. Because there are no credentials, this is the only Barzel server whose full client configuration fits in five lines — a name, a type and a URL. There is also no governance layer in front of it, and it needs none: it holds no credentials of yours, writes nothing, and every byte it returns is public-domain text.
