About
This repository is a source mirror of the Faith Evidence MCP server that is part of Macaroon Network, a marketplace where AI agents discover and pay for live data and scientific computing capabilities. The Bible Evidence server itself is free and requires no payment — it exists to demonstrate the same source-labelled, falsifiable-evidence discipline the rest of the marketplace runs on.

New to MCP?
From what the protocol is to installing your first server, these answers cover most first questions.
An open protocol that defines how AI applications connect to external tools and data in a uniform way. Clients talk to the model; MCP servers provide tools, resources and prompt templates. They exchange standard messages, so one server can be reused by many clients.
