### Description (declared)

# Open English Translation (OET) MCP Server

An official **Model Context Protocol (MCP)** server providing Large Language Models (LLMs) with high-speed, structured access to the **Open English Translation (OET)** of the Bible.

## What Makes the OET Different?

1. **Dual-Stream Parallel Translation**:
   * **Readers' Version (OET-RV)**: Natural, idiomatic, thought-for-thought modern English designed for macro-level discourse comprehension and fluency.
   * **Literal Version (OET-LV)**: Transparent, hyper-literal formal equivalence showing every added copula, article, transitive direct object, and untranslated particle.
2. **Word-Level Lexical Graph & Interlinear**:
   * Every word token is cross-linked via TSV datasets to Hebrew/Aramaic (`UHB`) and Greek (`SR-GNT`) dictionary entries, lemmas, Strong's numbers, morphological tags, and canonical gloss distributions.
3. **Explicit Translation Decision Tags (`\add`)**:
   * Encodes the exact reason for every addition or divergence (`@` for referent replacements, `≈` for rewordings, `#` for number changes, `%` for speech shifts, `^` for opposite phrasing, `?` for uncertainty, `≈`/`^`/`→` for Hebrew poetic parallelism, and `⇔` for clause re-ordering).

## Quick Start

### Running via `uvx`

```bash
uvx oet-mcp-server
```

### Installation from Source

> **Note:** the 191 MB corpus database is a **Git-LFS** file. Without
> `git lfs pull` you get only a ~130-byte LFS pointer, and every data tool
> fails at runtime.

```bash
git clone https://github.com/Freely-Given-org/open-english-translation-mcp-server.git
cd open-english-translation-mcp-server
git lfs install && git lfs pull   # materialize the real corpus database
uv sync
uv run oet-mcp-server
```
