## Description
AI-powered biblical research tools — lexicons, morphology, manuscripts, and more.

## Claude Desktop Quick Installation
Heuristic fallback — verify the package name and runner against the repository README before running it. Uses `npx` (confidence: low):

```json
"mcpServers": {
  "nuberea": {
    "command": "npx",
    "args": ["-y","nuberea"]
  }
}
```

# Model Context Protocol (MCP)

NuBerea provides an MCP server that allows AI clients to securely access NuBerea’s theological tools.

Using MCP, assistants such as ChatGPT, Claude, Cursor, Claude Desktop, or custom agents can interact with NuBerea’s research capabilities as structured tools.

Full documentation: [https://nuberea.com/docs/mcp/](https://nuberea.com/docs/mcp/)

# Quick Start (any MCP client)

This is the universal path for ChatGPT, Cursor, Claude Desktop, custom agents, and any other MCP-compatible client.

### 1. Create an account

Sign in or create a NuBerea account at [https://nuberea.com/login](https://nuberea.com/login).

### 2. Add NuBerea to your MCP client

Point your client at the NuBerea MCP server URL:

```
https://auth.aws-dev.streamsappsgslbex.com/mcp
```

Example MCP configuration:

```json
{
  "mcpServers": {
    "nuberea": {
      "url": "https://auth.aws-dev.streamsappsgslbex.com/mcp"
    }
  }
}
```

### 3. Authenticate

NuBerea MCP uses token-based authentication with refresh tokens to maintain secure, long-lived sessions. Your client will prompt you to sign in on first use. See the [docs](https://nuberea.com/docs/mcp/) for client-specific setup.

# Claude Code plugin

If you use **Claude Code**, NuBerea ships as a first-class plugin.

This repository follows Claude Code's marketplace layout:

* `.claude-plugin/marketplace.json` defines the marketplace catalog.
* `.claude-plugin/plugin.json` defines the NuBerea plugin.

## Install

Choose one of the marketplace sources below. The **Anthropic Community marketplace** is recommended for most users; use the **GitHub** source if you want preview builds direct from this repo.

| | Anthropic Community (recommended) | GitHub (this repo) |
|---|---|---|
| **Add marketplace** | `claude plugin marketplace add anthropics/claude-plugins-community` | `claude plugin marketplace add streamsapps/nuberea-mcp` |
| **Install** | `claude plugin install nuberea@claude-community` | `claude plugin install nuberea@nuberea` |
| **Update** | `claude plugin marketplace update claude-community`<br>`claude plugin update nuberea@claude-community` | `claude plugin marketplace update nuberea`<br>`claude plugin update nuberea@nuberea` |
| **Uninstall** | `claude plugin uninstall nuberea@claude-community`<br>`claude plugin marketplace remove claude-community` | `claude plugin uninstall nuberea@nuberea`<br>`claude plugin marketplace remove nuberea` |

> To scope a marketplace to a single repository instead of your user profile, append `--scope project` to the `marketplace add` command.

Restart Claude Code after updating so the new plugin version is loaded.

## Use

Start Claude Code:

```bash
claude
```

Authenticate NuBerea (first run only):

```text
/mcp
```

Select `nuberea` and complete the authentication flow.

Try a prompt such as:

```text
Use Nuberea to look up John 1:1 in Greek and summarize the lexical notes.
```

## Troubleshooting

List configured marketplaces:

```bash
claude plugin marketplace list
```

List installed plugins:

```bash
claude plugin list
```

Check whether the MCP server is connected:

```bash
claude mcp list
```

Or inside Claude Code, run `/mcp`.

If NuBerea shows `Needs authentication`, run `/mcp`, select `nuberea`, and complete authentication. If authentication succeeds but reconnection fails, restart Claude Code.
