Audio Bible — Claude Code MCP server: features and setup
Gives an AI assistant Bible chapter text and audio tools, including verse-based listening links and on-demand chapter recordings.
claude mcp add --transport http audiobible https://audiobible.publifye.com/mcpWhat Audio Bible does
Audio Bible connects an assistant to text and recordings from five Bible translations. It can return a chapter with numbered verses, a listening link that begins at a chosen verse, and details about which chapters have been recorded. Pass a bible value to select a translation; without one, the server uses the World English Bible.
When a chapter has no recording yet, prepare_chapter queues it for narration. Use chapter_progress to check its progress, then download_link to get a personal, expiring link for a chapter file or, on the annual plan, a ZIP of multiple chapters. Listening is free; downloads have plan limits.
The hosted server connects over HTTPS and uses OAuth 2.1 with PKCE. It covers five translations and offers no commentary or interpretation. Book slugs vary by translation, so get them from list_books for the Bible you selected.
What it helps with
- retrieve a chapter with numbered verses
- get an audio link starting at a chosen verse
- check which chapters have recordings
- queue an unrecorded chapter for narration
- get a download link for a recording
Example prompts for the agent

- Find an audio link for a chosen verse in Ruth 3.
- Check whether Ruth 3 has a recording and queue it if needed.
