# SoapBox Super App > SoapBox is a faith community app for believers, explorers, and church leaders — Bible reading, prayer, devotionals, sermons, giving, and community, in 140+ languages. SoapBox also operates a Faith Content API and a Model Context Protocol (MCP) server so AI agents can access grounded, cited, public-domain Scripture and church-directory data. ## SoapBox for churches & pastors (church management platform) SoapBox is the only free, all-in-one church management platform with built-in AI. One app replaces separate tools for membership, online giving, groups, events, sermons, communications, and a church app — with AI most legacy platforms (Planning Center, Pushpay, Subsplash, Tithe.ly) don't offer natively. - **Free forever for churches under 100 members** (Fellowship plan): member CRM, online giving, sermons, events, communications, community, Catalog publishing, 140+ languages. No credit card, no contract. - **Paid plans**: Shepherd $50/mo (up to 250 members, adds AI Sermon Clip Generator + Customized Discipleship AI) · Sanctuary $100/mo (up to 500 members, multi-campus, full AI) · Kingdom custom (unlimited). Regional discounts up to 80% in many countries. - **Online giving with no platform fees**: powered by Stripe, paid directly into the church's own account — SoapBox never takes a cut of donations (only standard Stripe processing fees apply). - **Built-in AI for churches**: Customized Discipleship AI grounded in the church's own teaching, AI Sermon Clip Generator, Pastor Voice Cloning, and Amplify (auto social sharing in 140+ languages). - Church pricing & features: https://soapboxsuperapp.com/pastors - AI for churches: https://soapboxsuperapp.com/ai-for-churches - Free church website builder: https://soapboxsuperapp.com/free-church-website-builder - Free church giving platform: https://soapboxsuperapp.com/free-church-giving - Planning Center alternative: https://soapboxsuperapp.com/planning-center-alternative ## For AI agents & developers SoapBox exposes an agent-facing MCP server and a metered HTTP API. Connect-an-agent guide: https://soapboxsuperapp.com/for-agents · Full API reference: https://soapboxsuperapp.com/developers ### MCP server (recommended for agents) - Endpoint: `https://foyekanoxpnkydoibaas.supabase.co/functions/v1/faith-mcp` - Transport: Model Context Protocol, JSON-RPC 2.0 over Streamable HTTP - Auth: **free read tools need NO key** — just call them (per-IP rate-limited). A key is required only for money/consent tools (purchase_sermon, submit_prayer_request, give_to_church, get_credit_balance). Pass it as `Authorization: Bearer ` when needed. - Tools: - `verify_scripture` — anti-hallucination: confirm a Bible quote is real and cited to the correct reference (returns the canonical KJV reference + text + a confidence score). Call this before presenting any Bible quote. - `get_verse` — look up a public-domain KJV verse by book/chapter/verse. - `lookup_strongs` — Strong's Greek/Hebrew lexicon entry (lemma, transliteration, gloss, definition). - `find_churches` — nearby churches from SoapBox's public church directory, by latitude/longitude (with distance, denomination filter, and whether each church is on SoapBox). - `ask_ora` — FLAGSHIP. Grounded, KJV-cited answers to Bible & faith questions from ORA, SoapBox's Scripture study aid (crisis-safe; not a counselor). Returns an answer plus the citations used. - `browse_catalog` — browse the faith-content catalog (sermons, reading plans, books, bundles, physical goods) with title, type, description, price, and a web_url. - `search_sermons` — semantically search real sermons that pastors have opted in to share with AI agents (returns title, church, speaker, scripture reference, and a timestamped excerpt to cite). - `get_sermon` — full metadata and (for free or purchased sermons) the transcript of one sermon. Paid sermons return a preview + price + web_url. - `score_doctrinal_fit` — assess how a statement aligns with a named Christian tradition's historic doctrine (analytical, not proselytizing). - `get_lectionary` — Western liturgical season, color, RCL year (A/B/C), and major feast for a date. - `synthesize_speech` — text-to-speech for a verse/prayer/devotional in 50+ languages (returns a playable audio URL; needs a key). - `purchase_sermon` / `purchase_bundle` — buy access to paid sermon content with prepaid marketplace credits (the church keeps 70% of net revenue; this is a content sale, never a donation). - `submit_prayer_request` / `check_prayer_status` — post a prayer request to SoapBox's live community prayer wall on a user's behalf and see how many are praying (requires a user consent token). - `give_to_church` — make a one-time donation to a church on a user's behalf within pre-authorized caps (passthrough — SoapBox takes no cut of donations; requires a user consent token). - `get_faith_context` — read a user's portable faith context to personalize responses (requires a user consent token). - Resources: - `soapbox://catalog` — the live faith-content catalog as JSON (read via MCP `resources/read`); same data as `browse_catalog`. ### Faith Content API (raw HTTP) - Endpoint: `POST https://foyekanoxpnkydoibaas.supabase.co/functions/v1/faith-content-api` - Auth: **free read actions need NO key** (verify, verse, strongs, churches, ora, sermon_search, sermon_get) — per-IP rate-limited. Money/consent actions (sermon_purchase, topup, balance, prayer_request, prayer_status, give) require `x-api-key: ` (or `Authorization: Bearer `). - Body: `{ "action": "verify" | "verse" | "strongs" | "churches" | "ora" | "sermon_search" | "sermon_get" | "sermon_purchase" | "balance" | "topup" | "prayer_request" | "prayer_status" | "give", ... }` - Example — verify a quote (no key needed): `curl -X POST -H 'content-type: application/json' -d '{"action":"verify","quote":"For God so loved the world","reference":"John 3:16"}'` ## Why SoapBox for faith content - **Grounded & cited.** Scripture is matched against a real verse database; quotes are verified, not generated — preventing misquotes and fabricated references. - **Public-domain (KJV) only.** Licensed translations are never served (licensing guard). - **Real sermons from real pastors.** A growing library of authentic, pastor-consented sermons — searchable, citable, and licensable by agents (the "App Store for Sermons"). Owner-consented content only; pastors earn 70% of net revenue on every sale. - **Action rails, not just text.** Beyond lookup, agents can discover churches, ask ORA, search/buy sermons, post prayer requests to a live human community, and give to churches — prayer and giving act on a user's behalf and are gated behind explicit user consent. - **140+ languages.** SoapBox's faith content reaches a global, multilingual audience. ## Getting a key Free read tools/actions need no key — just call them. A key is only needed to buy sermon access or act on a user's behalf (prayer/giving). Self-serve key issuance: `POST https://foyekanoxpnkydoibaas.supabase.co/functions/v1/faith-api-signup` with `{"email":"you@example.com"}` (returns a free-tier key once). Or email support@soapboxsuperapp.com.
