get_chapter

Read one chapter of the World English Bible: every verse's text, numbered, plus whether its audio is recorded. Quote the verses exactly as returned; do not paraphrase them as scripture. Free for any signed-in user.

Parameters2

book	string	required	Book slug such as 'genesis', 'john' or 'first-samuel'. Common names ('1 sam', 'psalm') are resolved. Call list_books for all 66.
chapter	integer	required	Chapter number within the book, starting at 1.

Raw schema

{
  "properties": {
    "book": {
      "description": "Book slug such as 'genesis', 'john' or 'first-samuel'. Common names ('1 sam', 'psalm') are resolved. Call list_books for all 66.",
      "type": "string"
    },
    "chapter": {
      "description": "Chapter number within the book, starting at 1.",
      "type": "integer"
    }
  },
  "required": [
    "book",
    "chapter"
  ],
  "type": "object"
}

listen_link

Links for LISTENING to a chapter (optionally starting at a verse): the public reading page, which plays the audio with the verse highlighted, and the direct streaming audio URL with the verse's start and end in seconds. Listening is free and uses no download allowance. If the chapter is not recorded yet the result says so — call prepare_chapter.

Parameters3

book	string	required	Book slug such as 'genesis', 'john' or 'first-samuel'. Common names ('1 sam', 'psalm') are resolved. Call list_books for all 66.
chapter	integer	required	Chapter number within the book, starting at 1.
verse	integer	optional	Optional verse to start at.

Raw schema

{
  "properties": {
    "book": {
      "description": "Book slug such as 'genesis', 'john' or 'first-samuel'. Common names ('1 sam', 'psalm') are resolved. Call list_books for all 66.",
      "type": "string"
    },

      "type": "integer"
    }
  },
  "required": [
    "book",
    "chapter"
  ],
  "type": "object"
}

prepare_chapter

Have a chapter read aloud (recorded) if it is not already, using the same queue as the website's Read button. Returns progress immediately; recording takes about one to two minutes — poll chapter_progress. Already-recorded or in-progress chapters cost nothing. Each user may commission 20 new chapters per UTC day through their assistant; do not loop over books — prepare only what the user asked to hear.

Parameters2

book	string	required	Book slug such as 'genesis', 'john' or 'first-samuel'. Common names ('1 sam', 'psalm') are resolved. Call list_books for all 66.
chapter	integer	required	Chapter number within the book, starting at 1.

    },
    "chapter": {
      "description": "Chapter number within the book, starting at 1.",
      "type": "integer"
    }
  },
  "required": [
    "book",
    "chapter"
  ],
  "type": "object"
}

chapter_progress

How far a chapter's recording has got, without starting anything. Safe to poll every few seconds while prepare_chapter's work runs.

Parameters2

book	string	required	Book slug such as 'genesis', 'john' or 'first-samuel'. Common names ('1 sam', 'psalm') are resolved. Call list_books for all 66.
chapter	integer	required	Chapter number within the book, starting at 1.

    "book": {
      "description": "Book slug such as 'genesis', 'john' or 'first-samuel'. Common names ('1 sam', 'psalm') are resolved. Call list_books for all 66.",
      "type": "string"
    },
    "chapter": {
      "description": "Chapter number within the book, starting at 1.",
      "type": "integer"
    }
  },
  "required": [
    "book",
    "chapter"
  ],
  "type": "object"
}

download_link

A personal download link for recorded chapters, as an .opus file (one chapter) or a ZIP (several chapters — Annual plan). Give the user the URL: it works in their browser, expires (default 1 hour, max 24 hours), and is charged to their rolling 24-hour download allowance only when they OPEN it; opening it again before it expires is free. Chapters not yet recorded are listed as pending — call prepare_chapter for those first. Free plan: 4 chapters per rolling 24 hours, one at a time; Annual: 40, ZIP allowed.

Parameters4

book	string	optional	Book slug such as 'genesis', 'john' or 'first-samuel'. Common names ('1 sam', 'psalm') are resolved. Call list_books for all 66.
chapter	integer	optional	Chapter number within the book, starting at 1.
chapters	array	optional	Several chapters for one ZIP, each 'book/chapter' such as 'john/3' (Annual plan). Use instead of book+chapter.
expires_in_seconds	integer	optional	Link lifetime, 60 to 86400. Default 3600.

}

my_allowance

The user's standing: plan, download allowance left in the rolling 24 hours and when the next one frees up, chapter preparations left today, the assistant call quota, and where to upgrade. Call it before promising the user a download.

Parameters

No parameters.

Raw schema

{
  "type": "object"
}

list_books

Every book of the canon with its chapter count, in canon order. The canon is loaded from darash, never written down in this service, so it cannot disagree with the text.

Parameters

No parameters.

Raw schema

{
  "type": "object"
}

search_chapters

The site's own chapter search: what a reader typing 'john 3', '1 sam' or 'ps 23' into the single search field at the top of every page would be offered.

Parameters2

limit	integer	optional	Maximum suggestions.
query	string	required	What the reader typed.

Raw schema

{
  "properties": {
    "limit": {
      "default": 10,
      "description": "Maximum suggestions.",
      "type": "integer"

    "query": {
      "description": "What the reader typed.",
      "type": "string"
    }
  },
  "required": [
    "query"
  ],
  "type": "object"
}

chapter_status

Whether one chapter's audio exists, and what it was made from. With no arguments it answers for Genesis 1 and says so.

Parameters2

book	string	optional	Book slug, e.g. 'genesis' or 'first-samuel'. Call list_books for all 66.
chapter	integer	optional	Chapter number within the book.

Raw schema

{
  "properties": {
    "book": {
      "default": "genesis",
      "description": "Book slug, e.g. 'genesis' or 'first-samuel'. Call list_books for all 66.",
      "type": "string"
    },
    "chapter": {
      "default": 1,
      "description": "Chapter number within the book.",
      "type": "integer"
    }
  },
  "type": "object"
}

coverage

How much of the Bible has actually been generated and how much is still pending. Read straight off the audio volume, so it stays true even when the index is empty.

Audio Bible — two Bibles, read aloud, for Claude, Cursor and any MCP client

Audio Bible gives an AI assistant a Bible as text and as sound: every verse of a chapter, numbered, a listening link that starts at a given verse with its timing in seconds, a recording made on demand when a chapter has not been read aloud yet, and a personal download link for the result. Two Bibles are offered — the World English Bible (English) and Bibelen Anno 2026 (NB2026, Norwegian Bokmål) — and every capability tool takes a bible argument to choose between them. It runs as a hosted MCP server over HTTPS.

Claude Code: claude mcp add --transport http audiobible https://audiobible.publifye.com/mcp, then /mcp to sign in. The discovery chain is the same as for the other servers: ../../docs/connect.md.

Two Bibles, one tool surface

Every capability tool accepts an optional bible argument (web or nb2026); the World English Bible stays the default when it is omitted. NB2026 — Bibelen Anno 2026, a Norwegian Bokmål translation — is being recorded now; coverage and chapter_status report how far each Bible has got, per Bible.

The text is quoted, not remembered

get_chapter returns every verse's exact text, numbered, and its own description tells the assistant to quote it as returned rather than paraphrase it as scripture. The World English Bible is public domain; the chapter pages are plain server-rendered HTML that anyone can read.

Listening is free; keeping is a plan

Listen — listen_link returns the public reading page, which plays the audio with the verse highlighted, and the direct stream with that verse's start and end in seconds.
Record — prepare_chapter has a chapter read aloud if it is not yet recorded, through the same idempotent queue as the website's Read button. It takes a minute or two; chapter_progress reports how far it has got without starting anything.
Download — download_link mints a personal, expiring link: one chapter as .opus, or several as a ZIP on the annual plan. my_allowance states what is left in the rolling 24 hours before an assistant promises a download it cannot deliver.

Watch it read aloud on YouTube

The book of Ruth, all four chapters from the World English Bible, is on YouTube as a playlist: Ruth — Audio Bible (World English Bible), on Publifye's channel, @publifyeofficial. Each video is one chapter, read aloud with the text on screen — for example Ruth 3.

What the tools do

Every tool is documented with its exact description, annotations and input schema — 10 in all, generated from the service's own tools/list, never written by hand.

Area	The question it answers	Tools
Listen, prepare and download	Can the user hear this chapter, and can they keep it?	6
What is recorded	Which books exist, and how much has been read aloud?	4

Machine-readable: tools.json carries all 10 with full JSON Schema, plus every excluded bucket listed by name so the count is auditable. 37 staff-only admin tools (recording runs, voice options, deletion and restore, batch narration, search-engine notification) are excluded from the customer surface.

What it does not do

Two translations, not the originals. The World English Bible and NB2026, and no other. For the Hebrew and Greek, other translations, lexicons and cross-references, see Darash.
No commentary or interpretation. Text and audio only.
Not a crawler endpoint. Audio, generation, downloads and accounts are for people and their assistants; the public chapter pages are what search engines should read.

Plans

Listening is free. A free registered plan includes a small rolling download allowance; the annual plan raises it and adds multi-chapter ZIP downloads. Plans and prices can change; the current ones are always on https://audiobible.publifye.com/store, and where this page and the site differ, the site is right.
