Torah MCP is a remote MCP server (streamable HTTP). Free, no account, no data collection.

Thirty seconds, both routes, and the two most common mistakes. Sound is not required.

אclaude.ai

Open claude.ai → Settings → Connectors
Click Add custom connector
Paste this URL, name it “Torah”, confirm : the mobile app follows on its own:

https://torah-mcp.com/mcp

בClaude Code

In a terminal (not in the Claude conversation):

claude mcp add --transport http torah https://torah-mcp.com/mcp

Then check with claude mcp list, the line must end with ✔ Connected.

The https:// is required: without it the command is accepted but the connection fails.

גOther MCP clients

Any compatible client (streamable HTTP transport) works with the same URL. The server exposes 16 read-only tools, 5 prompts (hebrewbooks, havrouta, paracha, debutant, avance) and one MCP App, the daf viewer.

דYour level

Simply say so at the start of the conversation (“I'm a beginner, I don't read Hebrew” or “advanced mode”), or let Claude infer it from your question. The mode_etude tool sets the register (beginner / classic / advanced) without changing anything about the source discipline; you can switch at any time.

הAccess by invitation, optional

By default the server is public. For invitation-only access, the host sets the BEARER_TOKENS secret (one token per guest, comma-separated); each guest then uses https://…/<token>/mcp, and access is revoked by removing the token.

וHost your own instance

The code is free (MIT), with no secret required. Optional: BEARER_TOKENS. Full-text search goes through hebrewbooks.ai, with no authentication.
