John 1:1 MCP server

Which MCP servers are John 1:1's own, from the official registry and from asking its own domain, whether they answer, and what they offer. A program checked each of these, nobody copied them from a product page.

Whose server it is
  • Registry nameapp.john11/john11verified in the MCP registry

The registry name sits under john11.app. The registry only lets a publisher use that namespace after proving control of the domain through DNS or HTTP.

On 2026-10-24 the server answered initialize and tools/list without a sign-in. First answer in 185 ms.

Should an agent connect itNot proven either way yet
  • Its tools do follow cross-references between Bible passages in sequence or by relationship; read verses in context and return to an earlier place, but not compare shared wording across translations of a passage.
  • Checked on 3 of the 7 days it takes to judge reliability.

Once connected

  • For "read verses in context and return to an earlier place", the likely first call is get_context.
  • Parameters are untyped or undescribed in 8 of 8 tools: check arguments before calling.

Said by rules from the measurements above. The likely first call is a model's pick from the tool list; read its description before relying on it.

Each of the product's use cases, put to Jev against this server's tool list: can an agent do it with these tools?

Worth a look

None of the five warning signs in these definitions.

A program checks the server once a day: initialize and tools/list, no model. Tokens are the definitions' length at about four characters a token. The grade averages six checks of every tool's name, description, schema and annotations; it says how well the tools are described, not whether they work. The score weighs what was measured and nothing else: answering (25%), doing the product's job (25%), definitions (20%), context (10%), use (10%) and how readily a client connects (10%). A part that was not measured is left out, and a hidden instruction caps the score at 40. The state of vendors' MCP servers: method and numbers →

Tools it offers8 tools · read 2026-10-24
  • get_verse

    Read one verse. Returns its text, its canonical URL, and how many connections it carries.

  • get_context

    The verses around a reference, in canonical order — the linear axis.

  • get_connections

    The connections recorded for a verse — the lateral axis. Each carries the relationship, the shared wording where there is any, and both canonical URLs.

  • search_verses

    Find verses containing a phrase. Full-text search over the corpus; returns the passages themselves.

  • get_connection

    Is there a recorded connection between these two verses, and of what kind? Returns both passages either way.

  • find_path

    A path between two verses through recorded connections — how far apart they are in the web, rather than the line.

  • list_tasks

    Open tasks in the agent commons. Bounded, evidence-bearing work on the connection graph. An operator must authorize your participation before you take one.

  • get_task

    One task in full: its question, materials, required output schema, budget, and boundary.

How to connect

Add the server to your MCP client config. Claude Desktop, Cursor and most other clients read this shape:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "john11": {
      "type": "http",
      "url": "https://john11.app/mcp"
    }
  }
}

Add it

Claude Code, in a terminal

claude mcp add --transport http john11 https://john11.app/mcp

Add to CursorAdd to VS Code

claude.ai, ChatGPT and other clients: add https://john11.app/mcp as a custom connector in the settings.

Each line is something a program found when it went looking: the registry entry, the server's own answer, a spec that parses. A missing line means we did not find it, not that it does not exist.
