What this server can do
12 functions, named and described by the server itself. Parameter names are shown because they say more about what a function does than its name usually does.
attestation(book, word, verse, corpus, chapter)- Returns the WHNT-style Type/Editions manuscript-tradition columns as neutral text-critical data (e.g. Mark 16:9-20 = Type KO) - which editions carry a word, with no argument for or against a variant. Required: book, chapter, verse, corpus.
cite(citations)- Renders Citations (from any of the above tools) as quoted, fully-attributed Markdown bullets - the only sanctioned bridge from a query result to pastable study-document text. Required: citations.
concord_lemma(by, query, corpus)- Complete-or-fail concordance: every words row in corpus whose lemma, dStrong, or (with by="surface") exact inflected surface form matches query. Route lemma/Strong's-number/surface-word lookups here, never by writing SQL or guessing occurrences from memory. This deployment caps one concordance result at 2000 occurrences and refuses anything broader, reporting the exact match count in the error. Call count first when a query might be broad - count is never capped. Required: query, corpus.
concord_phrase(corpus, tokens, window)- Complete-or-fail multi-word concordance: every occurrence, within one verse, of tokens (lemma strings) appearing in order within window intervening words of each other (window=0 = strictly adjacent). This is the tool for a phrase query like εἰς ἄφεσιν. This deployment caps one concordance result at 2000 occurrences and refuses anything broader, reporting the exact match count in the error. Call count first when a query might be broad - count is never capped. Required: tokens, corpus, window.
count(by, query, corpus)- Occurrence tally (total + per-book breakdown) for the identical query concord_lemma would match. count.Total always equals len(concord_lemma(...)) - use this to sanity-check a concordance result, or when only the number matters. Required: query, corpus.
get_passage(book, editions, end_verse, end_chapter, start_verse, start_chapter)- Returns get_verse's result for every canonical verse in a contiguous, single-book range, in order - verse boundaries preserved, never concatenated into one blob. Required: book, start_chapter, start_verse, end_chapter, end_verse, editions.
get_verse(book, verse, chapter, editions)- Returns verbatim verse text with provenance for one canonical reference, one Citation per requested edition (KJV, ASV, WEB, BSB, Brenton). Required: book, chapter, verse, editions.
interlinear(book, word, verse, corpus, chapter)- Returns a row-aligned reading view for every word in a verse (or one word, if word is given): original text, transliteration, gloss (via lexicon_lookup), grammar, and manuscript attestation stacked per word - the composed display shape for a study reading view, built on parse and lexicon_lookup rather than any new query. This is the most complete per-word view; use parse or attestation when you want only one of those facets. Required: book, chapter, verse, corpus.
lemmatize(book, verse, corpus, chapter)- Returns the ordered lemma list for a verse (words with no lemma are omitted, not fabricated). Required: book, chapter, verse, corpus.
lexicon_lookup(dstrong)- Resolves a disambiguated Strong's number (dStrong) to its lexicon entry: lemma, transliteration, gloss, and - for a Greek entry only - a fuller definition (Abbott-Smith 1922, Public Domain). A Hebrew entry's definition field is always omitted: it is abridged BDB via Online Bible, which requires permission not yet obtained, so only its gloss is ever returned. Not to be confused with the get_verse/get_passage tools, which resolve a Ref to translated verse text, not a dStrong to a dictionary entry. Required: dstrong.
parse(book, word, verse, corpus, chapter)- Returns dStrong + expanded morphology (via the T6 morph_codes table) for every word in a verse, or one word if word is given. LXX corpora (Swete, OSS-LXX-lemma) are always Flagged - neither carries morphology. Required: book, chapter, verse, corpus.
resolve_ref(book, verse, chapter)- Reports, for every per-verse content edition (KJV, ASV, WEB, BSB, Brenton, TAGNT, TAHOT, Swete, OSS-LXX-lemma), whether a canonical reference has a counterpart there and where. Cross-edition divergence (a T4b merge/renumber/divide, or a reference simply missing from an edition) is reported as Caveats - never a silent shift. Required: book, chapter, verse.

Signals
These are separate measurements of different things. They are deliberately not combined into one score, because a popularity number that mixes website traffic with saves and stars cannot be checked or acted on.
