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 cross-covenant-bible-mcp https://crossandcovenant.co/api/mcp/bible

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 cross-covenant-bible-mcp --url https://crossandcovenant.co/api/mcp/bible
