# Accordance Port

[![Test](https://github.com/jacobhgruber-dev/accordance/actions/workflows/test.yml/badge.svg)](https://github.com/jacobhgruber-dev/accordance/actions/workflows/test.yml)
[![Lint](https://github.com/jacobhgruber-dev/accordance/actions/workflows/lint.yml/badge.svg)](https://github.com/jacobhgruber-dev/accordance/actions/workflows/lint.yml)

A standalone Python parser for [Accordance Bible Software](https://www.accordancebible.com/)'s
proprietary binary module formats — eliminating the macOS/AppleScript dependency.

Provides **direct file access** to Bible texts, lexicons, dictionaries, and commentaries,
with an MCP server layer for AI agent integration.

## Features

- **Bible text** — Verse text extraction from `.atext` modules (ESVS, KJVS, NABRE, NAS95S)
- **bolls.life API integration** — 30+ translations with 100% Strong's coverage, free, no API key needed
- **Strong's numbers** — Hebrew/Greek concordance resolution via Pool+KT1 lookup. 100% KJV coverage via word-level `<S>` tags from local JSON cache — zero network required
- **NABRE & Catholic support** — NABRE translation parsing, Catholic lectionary Daily Mass readings via bolls.life API
- **Lexicons** — 19 modules across 10 entry formats, auto-detecting. Citation-aware lookups with module attribution, summary granularity (brief/standard/full), reverse key discovery, and side-by-side comparison tool
- **Commentaries** — 60 modules across 7 formats, auto-detecting (JFB, Clarke, Hermeneia, ESV Notes, etc.)
- **Greek/Hebrew encoding** — Legacy 8-bit → Unicode mapper for polytonic Greek and pointed Hebrew
- **Interlinear display** — Word-by-word text with aligned Strong's numbers (CLI + MCP)
- **Thematic study tools** — Search Strong's by definition, generate word study reports with lexicon integration
- **Reading plans** — Daily Mass readings; extensible plan framework
- **Cross-reference search** — Reverse Strong's lookup (find verses containing a given Hebrew/Greek word)
- **MCP server** — 74 tools for AI agent access: `list_modules`, `get_verse_text`, `get_strongs_for_verse`, `generate_bible_report`, `compare_definitions`, `word_study`, `search_dictionary_content`, `list_verse_strongs`, etc.
- **CLI** — 10 subcommands (`verse`, `study`, `interlinear`, `daily`, etc.)
- **Zero C dependencies** beyond `fastmcp`/`mcp` — all binary parsing uses Python stdlib

Each module type gets its own parser class inheriting from `AccordanceModule`.
Memory-mapped I/O — files up to 126 MB, never loaded entirely into RAM.

## Requirements

- Python 3.10+
- Accordance Bible Software modules (from a licensed installation)

## Setup

```bash
# Clone the repo
git clone https://github.com/jacobhgruber-dev/accordance.git
cd accordance

# Create virtual environment and install
python3 -m venv .venv
source .venv/bin/activate
pip install -e .

# Copy module files from Accordance installation
mkdir -p modules/Texts modules/Tools
# Copy .atext and .atool bundles from:
#   ~/Library/Application Support/Accordance/Modules/
```

## Quick Start

```python
from accordance_parser.text_module import TextModule
from accordance_parser.lexicon_module import LexiconModule
from accordance_parser.commentary_module import CommentaryModule

# Bible text
tm = TextModule("modules/Texts/ESVS.atext/ESVS", module_abbr="ESVS")
print(tm.get_verse("Genesis 12:1"))
# In the beginning, God created the heavens and the earth.

# Strong's numbers
strongs = tm.get_verse_strongs_list("Genesis 12:1")
print(strongs)
# [('7356', 'G3632'), ('43720', 'H1980'), ...]

# Lexicon lookup
lex = LexiconModule("modules/Tools/BDAG.atool/BDAG")
print(lex.lookup("λόγος")[:200])
# word, speech; ...

# Commentary
cm = CommentaryModule("modules/Tools/JFB.atool/JFB")
print(cm.get_section("John 3:16")[:200])
# For God so loved the world...

# CLI usage
accordance verse "Genesis 12:1"
accordance study "John 3:16"
accordance interlinear "Genesis 1:1"
```
