A free hosted Model Context Protocol server that plugs the Doxa voice — Christian encouragement, Scripture lookup, and The Doxa Way framework — into any MCP-aware AI client like Claude Desktop, Cursor, or Cline.

Is Doxa MCP an AI companion?

No. The Doxa prompt is hardened against anthropomorphism, parasocial attachment, and simulated friendship. There is no Doxa persona; the responses point toward Jesus and Scripture, not toward the assistant itself.

How much does Doxa MCP cost?

Free for everyone with no signup: 50 calls per day per source IP. For unlimited use, pass your own Anthropic API key in the X-Anthropic-Key header (BYOL) — your key is used for that single request and never stored.

Which AI clients work with Doxa MCP?

Claude Desktop, Cursor, Cline, the Anthropic SDK, and any client that implements the Model Context Protocol (Streamable HTTP transport, JSON-RPC 2.0).

    "transport": "streamableHttp"
  }
}

Cline (VS Code)

BYOL — unlimited with your own Anthropic key

Add X-Anthropic-Key as a header. Your key is used for that single request and never stored.

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "doxa": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": [
        "-y", "mcp-remote", "https://doxa.app/mcp/v1",
        "--header", "X-Anthropic-Key: sk-ant-<your-key>"

Doxa is 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." It points toward Jesus and Scripture, not toward the assistant itself. 141 KB of edge-case-tested rules behind every reply.

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 Doxa Way framework — the 9 movements that anchor the voice. Static data, no LLM call, no rate limit cost.

The Doxa Way

Encouragement for your whole journey.

The next mile, not the next step.

Nine movements anchor every Doxa response:

Hear / Recognise — receive what God is saying
Discern — wisdom about its source and shape
Test / Weigh — measure it against Scripture
Record — capture before it fades
Remember — return to what was said when the road gets hard
Engage — act on it, live into it
Trust — lean on it when nothing else is solid
Fight the good fight — contend for what was promised
Endure / Persevere — keep walking when it costs

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