Church Year MCP

A free, read-only MCP server that integrates the Western church calendar into AI agents. It provides tools to determine liturgical seasons, colors, feasts, Easter dates, and appointed Bible readings based on the 1979 Book of Common Prayer lectionary. It supports pastors and worship planners by offering sermon series planning and feast day listings without requiring authentication.

Claude Code

Run this once in a terminal. It registers a Streamable HTTP server. Use --scope project to write .mcp.json for the repo.

Claude Code configuration

claude mcp add --transport http church-year-mcp https://crossandcovenant.co/api/mcp/church-year

Codex

Run this once. Codex stores MCP servers in ~/.codex/config.toml (or .codex/config.toml in a trusted project).

Codex configuration

codex mcp add church-year-mcp --url https://crossandcovenant.co/api/mcp/church-year

Cursor

Merge this server into .cursor/mcp.json in your project, then enable church-year-mcp in your MCP settings.

Cursor configuration

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "church-year-mcp": {
      "url": "https://crossandcovenant.co/api/mcp/church-year"
    }
  }
}

Cline

Merge this into cline_mcp_settings.json (Cline → MCP Servers → Configure). The type must be streamableHttp for a remote HTTP server.

Cline configuration

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "church-year-mcp": {
      "type": "streamableHttp",
      "url": "https://crossandcovenant.co/api/mcp/church-year",
      "disabled": false
    }
  }
}

VS Code

Merge this server into .vscode/mcp.json. Use MCP: List Servers to start church-year-mcp and inspect its tools.

VS Code configuration

{
  "servers": {
    "church-year-mcp": {
      "type": "http",
      "url": "https://crossandcovenant.co/api/mcp/church-year"
    }
  }
}

Gemini CLI

Run this once. It writes .gemini/settings.json in the current project; pass --scope user for ~/.gemini/settings.json.

Gemini CLI configuration

gemini mcp add --transport http church-year-mcp https://crossandcovenant.co/api/mcp/church-year

Claude Desktop

Merge this into claude_desktop_config.json (macOS: ~/Library/Application Support/Claude/, Windows: %APPDATA%\Claude\), then restart Claude Desktop.

    }
  }
}

Windsurf

Merge this into ~/.codeium/windsurf/mcp_config.json, then refresh MCP in Cascade. Windsurf remote servers use serverUrl, not url.

Windsurf configuration

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "church-year-mcp": {
      "serverUrl": "https://crossandcovenant.co/api/mcp/church-year"
