API.Bible for AI agents

API.Bible provides Scripture text and audio across many translations for developers building Bible apps and study tools, covering passages, chapters, and full audio Bibles. Connect it once through Arc0, and your agent, or Claude, ChatGPT and Cursor, can use it through one MCP endpoint, limited to what each user approved.

04 · AUTH AND DATA

How API.Bible connects.

Users add their API.Bible api key on Arc0 Connect. It is encrypted in the vault, never shown to the model, and each user can rotate or revoke it at any time.

The same API.Bible connection serves your agent over MCP and your own backend over REST and the proxy, so a user connects once. How Arc0 handles credentials →

07 · FAQ

API.Bible and Arc0, answered.

Q01

Can I use API.Bible with Claude, ChatGPT or Cursor?

Yes. Connect API.Bible to Arc0 once, then add your Arc0 MCP URL to Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor, Claude Code or any other remote-MCP client. Each assistant only gets the API.Bible actions you allow.

Q02

How do users connect API.Bible?

Users add their API.Bible api key on Arc0 Connect. It is encrypted in the vault, never shown to the model, and each user can rotate or revoke it at any time.

Q03

Which API.Bible actions can my agent take?

19 in total: 19 read, 0 write and 0 destructive. Your policies decide which of them each agent may call.

Q04

Can I make my agent read-only in API.Bible?

Yes. Allow read actions and deny writes in the API.Bible policy. Your agent can still look things up, and any write it attempts is blocked and logged.

Q05

Can my own backend call API.Bible too?

Yes. The same API.Bible connection is available over REST and through the Arc0 proxy, so your product and your agent share one connection per user.
