Search

Find it by wording, by meaning, or by how rare it is. 4 Darash MCP tools, listed below with the exact description and input schema the server itself returns. Endpoint: https://darash-api.publifye.com/mcp. See [connect](../../../docs/connect.md) to get a key.

Tool What it does
search Full-text search across Bible verses
semantic_search Three-layer semantic engine: (1) Finds KJV verses containing the query words
word_frequency Count how many times a Strong's number appears in the KJV tagged text
hapax_list List all hapax legomena — words that appear exactly once in the Bible

search

Search — read-only, idempotent, closed-world.

Full-text search across Bible verses. Surface hits are the doorway, not the study: strongs_in_verse on any hit reaches the lemma underneath.[END]

Parameter Type Required Description
bible string yes Bible translation (e.g., 'kjv', 'asv', 'web')
limit integer no Maximum results (default: 50, max: 200)
query string yes Search text
scope string no Limit search to scope (e.g., 'ot', 'nt', 'Genesis', 'John')

semantic_search

Semantic Search — read-only, idempotent, closed-world.

Three-layer semantic engine: (1) Finds KJV verses containing the query words. (2) Builds a meaning cluster by mapping English→Strong's numbers via reverse lookup, then expanding one hop through etymology (synonyms, derived forms, root words). (3) Searches Hebrew words from the cluster as ELS Torah codes (skip 2-100). Returns: verses, strongs_matches (substring hits), meaning_cluster (the expanded word web with source tracing), and els_hits (Hebrew cluster words found encoded in Torah letters). Multi-word queries like 'faith hope love' search each word independently and merge results.[END]

Parameter Type Required Description
bible string no Bible translation for verse search (default: kjv)
language string no Strong's language filter: 'hebrew', 'greek', or 'both' (default: both)
query string yes Word or phrase to search by meaning (e.g., 'covenant', 'redeem', 'glory')
strongs_limit integer no Max Strong's matches (default: 20, max: 50)
verse_limit integer no Max verse results (default: 20, max: 100)

word_frequency

Word Frequency — read-only, idempotent, closed-world.

Count how many times a Strong's number appears in the KJV tagged text. Returns total frequency, OT/NT breakdown, and whether it's a hapax legomenon (appears only once). Essential for word studies.[END]

Parameter Type Required Description
number string yes Strong's number with prefix (e.g., 'H430' for Hebrew Elohim, 'G26' for Greek agape)

hapax_list

Hapax List — read-only, idempotent, closed-world.

List all hapax legomena — words that appear exactly once in the Bible. Gold for word studies and identifying rare vocabulary. Filter by Hebrew, Greek, or both.[END]

Parameter Type Required Description
language string no Language filter: 'hebrew', 'greek', or 'both' (default: both)
limit integer no Maximum results (default: 100, max: 500)

Questions about Darash

What people use it for

Ground my Sunday sermon in what the passage actually says.

Yes. Your assistant uses verse_study for the passage, its tagged words, parsing and cross-references, then strongs_in_verse to verify the word it wants to discuss. word_study returns the available lexicon entries, usage and provenance for that Strong’s number. You get sources to inspect before making a sermon point; the assistant must distinguish retrieved lexical data from its interpretation.

Ask your AI
Show the Greek behind Romans 8:26, its parsing and named lexicon entries.
What it does
  • verse_study
  • strongs_in_verse
  • word_study
What you get
Verse text, tagged original words, parsing and named lexical sources.
Check the Greek before I build a sermon point on it.

Yes. strongs_in_verse lists the tagged original-language words with their Strong’s numbers in each verse. Your assistant can show which number occurs at each place and open its lexicon entries before comparing meanings, rather than inferring the Greek from an English translation or memory.

Ask your AI
Compare the Greek words for love in John 21:15 and 21:17.
What it does
  • strongs_in_verse
  • get_strongs
  • get_synonyms
What you get
The words actually tagged in each verse and their lexicon entries.
Help me prepare a Greek parsing class from this passage.

Yes. Darash supplies parsing and lexicon data verse by verse, and your assistant lays it out as a student worksheet and answer key. Use get_morphology for each verse and word_study for the key words; the worksheet itself is assembled by your assistant.

Ask your AI
Give me the verbs and parsing for Philippians 2:5–8 for a worksheet.
What it does
  • get_verse
  • get_morphology
  • word_study
What you get
Parsing data and lexicon entries for my AI to arrange into a worksheet.
Compare what these translations say in the same verse.

Yes. Start with list_bibles to see the translations and identifiers available on the connected service, including Norwegian, Persian and Latin texts where held. compare_verses returns the named translations side by side, so your assistant quotes the text it retrieved.

Ask your AI
Show Psalm 23:4 in the available translations I choose.
What it does
  • list_bibles
  • compare_verses
What you get
Retrieved translation texts side by side, each identified.
Help me research a theme for the book I am writing.

Yes. Text search finds matching verses, get_cross_refs retrieves their stored cross-references, and multi_dict_lookup brings back topical entries from the dictionaries. Your assistant can organise the returned evidence into research notes and identify each source; a search page is not a promise that every passage on a theme has been found.

Ask your AI
Find wilderness passages, cross-references and named dictionary articles.
What it does
search → get_cross_refs → multi_dict_lookup
What you get
Matching verses, stored cross-references and attributed topic entries.
Make my personal Bible-study agent check its sources.

Yes. A personal MCP-capable study agent can call Darash for the verse, verify its tagged words with strongs_in_verse, and use word_study for named lexical sources. Keep edition and known gaps with quotations. Providing Darash or its outputs to your own users through an app, bot or service requires the appropriate separate licence; personal access does not authorize that use.

Ask your AI
Check every Greek or Hebrew claim against Darash and cite the entry.
What it does
  • get_verse
  • strongs_in_verse
  • word_study
What you get
Source text and lexical data my agent can quote and attribute.
