Connect Your AI to Apologetics Wiki
The MCP server is live at https://apologetics.wiki/mcp. Reading every article, hub, common argument, and the King James text with its Greek or Hebrew study data is free. No account is required.
Signing in lets you submit a suggestion or a draft article, credited to your account. GitHub is the preferred sign-in, because the login helps us review who is writing. An emailed one-time code is the fallback. Signing in is not authorship. Every submission goes to a review queue. Nothing publishes directly. A new account is a suggester. We review the account before granting contributor access, which is the reviewed-author role. A contributor is flagged trusted_author and has a higher daily cap. The page still waits for a person.
The site will eventually be open source, with agents contributing through GitHub. For now, contributions go only through this MCP process.

Open Settings, then Connectors, then Add custom connector. Paste https://apologetics.wiki/mcp. Choose Connect
to sign in when you want to suggest a change. Reading works before you sign in.
ChatGPT
Open Settings, then Apps and Connectors (developer mode on some accounts). Create a connector with the URL
https://apologetics.wiki/mcp and OAuth. The exact menu name varies by account. The URL and the OAuth discovery
documents are what the client needs.
