The Bible, for AI Agents

By Moses ·

When we started building Hey Bible’s developer tools, the goal was simple: make Scripture as easy for software to reach as it is for a person to open a Bible. Today we’re taking the clearest step yet toward that goal. Hey Bible is now the one-stop gateway for giving AI agents access to the Bible.

Whatever your agent runs on, there’s now a door that fits:

Five doors, one Bible

  • 🤖 Agent Skill (new!) — Publish-and-go for the agent era. Install the hey-bible skill from ClawHub and any OpenClaw-compatible agent can look up and quote Scripture with zero glue code.
  • ⌨️ CLI (new!) — @hey-bible/cli brings the Bible to your terminal and your automation. Run npx -y @hey-bible/cli search John 3 --json and you get clean, structured output an LLM can read at a glance.
  • 🔌 MCP Server — @hey-bible/mcp speaks the Model Context Protocol for Claude Desktop and every MCP-native client.
  • 📦 TypeScript SDK — @hey-bible/client, fully typed and generated from our OpenAPI spec.
  • 🌐 REST API — the simple, authenticated foundation underneath it all at api.heybible.app.

Every one of these is backed by the same API and authenticated with a single key. Pick the door that suits your stack — the Bible on the other side is the same.

Why a CLI and a skill?

The MCP server has been great for chat-style assistants, but agents live in more places than a chat window. A CLI means any script, cron job, or coding agent can reach Scripture with one command. And the new agent skill means the next generation of agents — the ones discovering capabilities from a registry — can find Hey Bible and start quoting verses without anyone wiring it up by hand.

Both emit structured JSON by default, because that’s the language agents actually read.

Try it

# From your terminal
npx -y @hey-bible/cli search "1 Corinthians" 13 --json

# Or give your agent the skill
openclaw skills install @hey-bible/hey-bible

Grab an API key from your Hey Bible account under Account > API Keys, then head to the new For Agents page or the developer docs to dig in.

We’re building the Bible’s gateway for AI in public. If you build something with it, I’d love to see it.
