## What it does

NuBerea exposes scholarly biblical databases to AI clients via the Model Context Protocol. It allows assistants to inspect entries in the LSJ or BDB lexicons and parse Greek morphology through the Macula dataset.

The server retrieves transcriptions of early manuscripts, including Codex Sinaiticus via CNTR data. It also handles synoptic comparisons from Aland's synopsis, which helps trace Old Testament citations across the New Testament.

You need a registered account at `https://nuberea.com/login` before connecting. The client points over HTTP to `https://mcp.nuberea.com/mcp` and maintains sessions using refresh tokens.
