BYOL: unlimited with your own Anthropic key

Bring your own Anthropic key. Add X-Anthropic-Key as a header. The key is used for that single request and never stored.

    "doxa": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": [
        "-y", "mcp-remote", "https://doxa.app/mcp/v1",

Scripture, summoned. Not an AI companion.

The Doxa prompt is hardened against the well-known dangers of AI-companion design: anthropomorphism, parasocial attachment, simulated friendship, first-person persona. There is no Doxa-the-friend.

Responses are third-person. The voice never says "I feel for you" or "I'm here for you." Responses point toward Jesus and Scripture, not toward the assistant itself. The same rules run on every surface: no persona, no fabricated Scripture, crisis handed to people.

Three tools

doxa_encourage(situation)

Short, screenshot-shareable encouragement in the Doxa voice, with embedded Scripture references. Free tier caps output at 250 tokens; BYOL at 1500.

doxa_scripture(reference)

Bible verse lookup against the Berean Standard Bible (BSB), hosted in Doxa's own database. Single verses and ranges (e.g., "Psalm 23:1-3"). Includes a deep link into the Doxa Bible reader.

doxa_way_movement(movement?)

The full journey map. Static data, no LLM call, no rate limit cost.

The Practice

Encouragement for your whole journey.

A return to the discipline of remembering what God has said and done.

A journey map for the long road, not a checklist. The doxa_way_movement tool surfaces a single movement at a time as it fits a user's situation. The full map runs from hearing what God is saying through enduring on a road that costs.

The 5-verb daily practice in the Doxa app (Hear · Discern · Record · Remember · Trust) is the entry path into the same map.

Removes the Doxa attribution footer

A Christian MCP server, narrow on purpose

The public MCP registries (the official MCP registry, Smithery, mcp.so) host hundreds of servers for productivity, search, code, and design tools. Doxa MCP brings Scripture into the same assistant. The tools are deliberately narrow: encouragement, Scripture lookup, the journey map. Every answer is anchored in Scripture and points people to Jesus.
