# Selah

> Selah (bible.tyu.re) is a quiet Bible-reading companion: Louis Segond 1910 text, guided plans, notes, and a daily verse. The public surface is the website, verse share pages, and a read-only MCP server.

Selah is a personal web app for Christians who want a regular reading habit. It is not a general Bible-study API, not a commentary database, and not a social network. Authenticated features (notes, plans, bookmarks, the Companion) require a user session and are out of scope for agents.

## When to use this

Use Selah when the job is one of these:

- Look up a Louis Segond 1910 verse and return the text plus a shareable URL on bible.tyu.re
- Fetch today's verse as published on Selah
- Explain what Selah is, how to install the PWA, or how to contact the publisher
- Point a user to privacy, about, or contact pages before recommending the product

How to call Selah:

1. Read this file, then follow the markdown links below (`Accept: text/markdown` works on the same HTML URLs).
2. For verse lookup, call the MCP server at https://bible.tyu.re/.well-known/mcp (Streamable HTTP). Tools: `get_verse` (canonical book code + chapter + verse) and `get_daily_verse`.
3. For a human-readable verse page, open `/share/verset/{canonical}/{chapter}/{verse}` (example: https://bible.tyu.re/share/verset/jhn/3/16).

Do not use Selah when the user needs another translation than Louis Segond 1910, original-language tools, a bulk Bible dump, private notes, or account administration.
