Read-only | Idempotent | Open world | ||
|---|---|---|---|---|
audio.getGet the audio file URL for a specific paragraph. Accepts any paragraph reference format (globalId "1:2.0.1", standardReferenceId "2:0.1", or paperSectionParagraphId "2.0.1"). | No | Yes | Yes | No |
bible.bookGet metadata for a single Bible book including chapter and verse counts. Accepts OSIS codes ("Gen"), USFM codes ("GEN"), full names ("Genesis"), and aliases ("genesis", "1-maccabees") — case-insensitive, hyphens/underscores tolerated. | No | Yes | Yes | No |
bible.booksList all 81 books of the World English Bible (eng-web): 39 Old Testament + 15 deuterocanonical + 27 New Testament. Each entry includes OSIS book code, full name, abbreviation, canonical order, canon, and chapter/verse counts. | No | Yes | Yes | No |
bible.chapterGet every verse in a Bible chapter, ordered by verse number. Accepts OSIS, USFM, full name, or alias for `book_code`. | No | Yes | Yes | No |
bible.search.semanticFree-form natural-language search across all Bible chunks, ranked by cosine similarity. Each result includes the top-N pre-computed Urantia paragraphs related to that chunk. One query surfaces both Bible matches and the relevant Urantia content. Optional filters: `canon` (`ot`, `deuterocanon`, `nt`) and `book_code`. Set `urantia_parallel_limit` to 0 to leave out the Urantia paragraphs. | No | Yes | Yes | Yes |
bible.verseGet a single verse from the World English Bible (eng-web). Accepts OSIS, USFM, full name, or alias for `book_code`. | No | Yes | Yes | No |
bible.verse.urantia_parallelsReturns the top 10 Urantia paragraphs whose embeddings are nearest to the Bible chunk that contains this verse. Pre-computed at seed time with text-embedding-3-large (3072-d) cosine similarity. Each result carries a similarity score (0..1) and rank (1..10).
These are semantic neighbors, not a curated list of parallels. | No | Yes | Yes | No |
cite.getA formatted citation of one paragraph of the Urantia Papers in APA, MLA, Chicago, or BibTeX. The ref is "196:2.1", "1:196.2.1", or "196.2.1". | No | Yes | Yes | No |
editions.listList the editions of the English text: the first printing ("1955", the original) and each Standard Reference Text up to "srt-2024", the default. Each has `changes`, the count of changes adopted in it ("srt-2009" also counts the changes that no report dates). Use an id as `edition` on paragraphs.get, paragraphs.context, papers.get, and editions.variants. | No | Yes | Yes | No |
editions.variantsList the changes to the English text since the 1955 first printing: the words before and after, the year, the 1955 page, and the reason. Filter by `paper`, `ref`, `kind`, `edition` (the changes adopted in that one edition), or `from` and `to` (each change between two editions: `from: "1955", to: "srt-2015"` compares the first printing with srt-2015). With no filter, all of them (about 180). `applied` is false for a change that the Foundation lists but the default text does not have yet; `meta.applied` counts those that it has. | No | Yes | Yes | No |
entities.getGet detailed information about a specific entity by its slug ID. Returns name, type, aliases, description, related entities, and citation count. | No | Yes | Yes | No |
entities.listBrowse the entity catalog: beings, places, orders, races, religions, and concepts mentioned in the Urantia Papers. Supports filtering by type and searching by name. | No | Yes | Yes | No |
entities.paragraphsGet all paragraphs that mention a specific entity, ordered by position in the text. Useful for studying everything said about a particular being, place, or concept. | No | Yes | Yes | No |
papers.getGet a single paper with all its paragraphs. Paper IDs range from 0 (Foreword) to 196. Each paragraph has its reference, section, and plain text, so a whole paper fits in one call. `paper.audio` is one audio file of the whole paper (null when there is none). Optionally include entity mentions. `edition` gives an older edition of the text (such as "1955"), and `include_variants` each paragraph's changes since 1955. | No | Yes | Yes | No |
papers.listList all 197 papers of the Urantia Papers with their metadata (id, title, partId, labels), as a flat list. | No | Yes | Yes | No |
papers.sectionsGet all sections within a paper, ordered by section number. Useful for understanding paper structure before reading specific sections. | No | Yes | Yes | No |
paragraphs.contextGet a paragraph with surrounding context (N paragraphs before and after within the same paper). Useful for understanding passages in context. | No | Yes | Yes | No |
paragraphs.getLook up paragraphs by reference. Supports three formats: globalId ("1:2.0.1"), standardReferenceId ("2:0.1"), or paperSectionParagraphId ("2.0.1"). The format is auto-detected. To read several paragraphs, pass them all in `refs` in one call (up to 20); for a passage with its neighbors, use paragraphs.context. | No | Yes | Yes | No |
paragraphs.randomGet a random paragraph from the Urantia Papers. Great for daily quotes, exploration, or discovering new passages. | No | Yes | No | No |
quotes.verifyChecks whether a quoted passage is in the Urantia Papers. Returns `verdict` (exact, close, not_found), the reference and exact text of the best match, each word that differs, and other places the quote appears. Case and punctuation are ignored. A quote must be at least 4 words and fall within one paragraph. Give `ref` (such as "2:5.1") to also check the reference the quote claims. A quote of an older edition (such as the 1955 first printing) also matches: `match.edition` names the newest edition with that wording, `match.editions` lists each edition that has it (oldest first), and `match.variants` gives the changes. | No | Yes | Yes | No |
search.fulltextKeyword search across all paragraphs of the Urantia Papers. Mode "auto" (default): a reference such as "68:6.3", "103:2", "Paper 68", or a bare number such as "68" (0 to 196) gives those paragraphs; otherwise the exact phrase first, then every word, then (when few) typo fixes and most of the words. Each result has `match` (reference, exact, all, near, most); `meta.didYouMean` gives the fixed query and `meta.see` names another work the query names. Other modes: "and" (all words), "or" (any word), "phrase" (exact phrase). | No | Yes | Yes | No |
search.semanticSearch the Urantia Papers using semantic similarity (vector embeddings). Returns conceptually related results even without exact keyword matches. A reference such as "99:1.1" gives those paragraphs; a pasted paragraph gives itself first. Each result has `strength` (strong, related, weak) and `match` (reference, exact, similar). The list holds the 100 nearest; `meta.total` is the length of that list, and `meta.related` counts the related or better. | No | Yes | Yes | Yes |
toc.getGet the full table of contents of the Urantia Papers. Returns the Foreword and the 4 parts, with all 197 papers and their titles. | No | Yes | Yes | No |
works.listThe works beside the Urantia Papers: the Bible (World English Bible) and 21 texts of the world's religions and traditions, each in the US public domain. `id` is what the other works.* tools take ("bible" or a slug such as "dhammapada"); `unitLabel` is the word for one unit of each work. | No | Yes | Yes | No |
works.readThe units of a reference in one work, in order, at most 200, each with its link: one verse or passage, a short range of up to 50, or a chapter. The prefix is optional ("BG 2.47" and "2.47" are the same); for the Bible, name the book ("John 3:16"). | No | Yes | Yes | No |
works.searchKeyword search across the Bible and the other works, or one work with `work`. A reference such as "John 3:16", "Jn 3:16-18", "Dhp 183", or "BG 2.47" gives those units first. Otherwise the exact phrase first, then every word, then (when few) a typo fix in `meta.didYouMean`. Each result has `match`, `url`, and its nearest Urantia paragraphs (semantic parallels, not curated ones). | No | Yes | Yes | No |
works.search.semanticNatural-language search across the Bible and the other works, or one work with `work`. The list holds the 100 nearest chunks (a few verses each); each has `similarity` and `strength` (strong, related, weak), and `meta.total` is the length of that list, and `meta.related` counts the related or better. Each result has `url` and its nearest Urantia paragraphs (semantic parallels, not curated ones). | No | Yes | Yes | Yes |
works.urantia_parallelsThe 10 Urantia paragraphs closest in meaning to one unit of a work (the chunk that holds it). Semantic parallels, not curated ones: they do not claim that two teachings are the same. The reference must name one unit. | No | Yes | Yes | No |
