What your AI can do with John11
Real prompts you can type the moment it's connected — no setup, no docs to read.
“Use “get_verse”: Read one verse. Returns its text, its canonical URL, and how many connections it carries.”
“Use “get_context”: The verses around a reference, in canonical order — the linear axis.”
“Use “get_connections”: The connections recorded for a verse — the lateral axis. Each carries the relationship, the shared wording where there is any, and both cano.”
“Use “search_verses”: Find verses containing a phrase. Full-text search over the corpus; returns the passages themselves.”
How secure is the John11 MCP server?
Every server in the gate directory has to pass the same four checks before your AI can touch it. Here's how John11 holds up.
Official endpoint
Operated by John11 (john11.app) at its documented MCP endpoint — not a third-party mirror or community re-host.
No sign-in needed
This server only exposes public data — no account and no credentials are involved when you connect.
Scanned before it goes live
gate checks every tool for prompt injection, hidden instructions, data-exfiltration hints, and over-broad permissions before the server is available through your gateway.
Watched for drift
If John11 adds or changes tools later, gate re-scans and alerts you — before your AI acts on the change.

The actual tools John11 exposes
Fetched live from the official endpoint and re-checked daily by gate — not marketing copy.
get_verse — Read one verse. Returns its text, its canonical URL, and how many connections it carries.
get_context — The verses around a reference, in canonical order — the linear axis.
get_connections — The connections recorded for a verse — the lateral axis. Each carries the relationship, the shared wording where there is any, and both cano
search_verses — Find verses containing a phrase. Full-text search over the corpus; returns the passages themselves.
get_connection — Is there a recorded connection between these two verses, and of what kind? Returns both passages either way.
find_path — A path between two verses through recorded connections — how far apart they are in the web, rather than the line.
list_tasks — Open tasks in the agent commons. Bounded, evidence-bearing work on the connection graph. An operator must authorize your participation befor
get_task — One task in full: its question, materials, required output schema, budget, and boundary.

The John11 MCP server at a glance
https://john11.app/mcpQuestions, answered
Is there an official John11 MCP server?
Yes — John11 operates its own remote MCP server at john11.app. gate connects you to that official endpoint and adds security scanning, per-tool access rules, and an activity log on top.
How do I connect John11 to Claude or ChatGPT?
Add gate's gateway URL to your AI client once, then pick John11 in the directory. No account or sign-in is needed. From then on, John11's tools are available in every client you've connected to gate.
Do I need to host anything?
No. John11 runs the server, and gate is fully managed. You just connect one URL — there's nothing to install, deploy, or maintain.
Is the John11 MCP server safe to connect?
It's the vendor's official endpoint, and gate scans its tools for prompt injection and hidden instructions before it goes live, re-checks it whenever it changes, and lets you allow, block, or require approval for every single tool.
