Jewish-Texts-Reference
A Claude Code plugin for looking up Jewish texts and references through the Sefaria library, via the official Sefaria MCP server.
Covers Tanakh, Mishnah, Talmud Bavli & Yerushalmi, Halakha (Mishneh Torah, Shulchan Aruch), Kabbalah (Zohar), Midrash, Liturgy, and the full commentary tradition — plus Hebrew/Aramaic dictionaries and a topic graph.
Skills
-
find-text — retrieve the actual text of a known passage. Trigger when the user names a specific reference ("Genesis 1:1", "Berakhot 2a", "Mishneh Torah, Teshuvah 3:4") and wants to read it in Hebrew, English, or both. Includes commentary lookup, manuscript images, and bibliographic info.
-
find-reference — discover where in the library something is said. Combines keyword search, English semantic search, in-book search, dictionary lookup, and topic browsing for users who have a concept or phrase but not a citation.
-
strip-nikkud — remove Hebrew vowel points (nikkud) and/or cantillation marks (te'amim). Two paths: offline regex (default) or Dicta's removenikud.dicta.org.il public API.
-
add-nikkud — vocalise unvocalized Hebrew (the reverse of strip-nikkud). Defaults to Dicta's nakdan public API (best quality, supports modern / rabbinic / poetry genres); falls back to the offline unikud Python package on explicit request.
Bundled MCP server
This plugin attaches the Sefaria SSE MCP server (https://mcp.sefaria.org/sse) automatically. No API key required — Sefaria's MCP endpoint is public.
