legal_get_section

Full text of one document section from the GetLawED library — use it to read and quote the exact provision found by legal_library_search (give the doc_id and the section reference it returned). For judgments, returns the judgment text (or the part matching "section", e.g. a paragraph number or phrase), capped at 12 000 characters.

legal_library_search

Search GetLawED's library of official South African legal texts (Constitutional Court, SCA, High Court, Labour, Land, Tax and tribunal judgments; Acts; regulations, rules and codes issued under them; municipal by-laws and land use schemes; Bills; Government Gazettes). Returns matching documents with the best-matching section reference where the text is split into sections, a short passage and the official source link. Absence from the library does not mean an authority does not exist.

legal_verify_citations

Check the South African case citations and Acts in a piece of text against GetLawED's library of official copies and verified records. Each item comes back as found, mismatch (the citation belongs to a different case), name_only, not_found, repealed or unchecked. "not_found"/"unchecked" means "check the law reports", not "fake".

Answers built from our own checks of this server.

What can GetLawED — Verified South African Law do?

It exposes 3 tools, read directly from the server on our last check. Among them: legal_get_section, legal_library_search, legal_verify_citations. The full list with descriptions is on this page — we take it from the server itself via tools/list, not from a README. How MCP servers expose tools in the first place →

Is GetLawED — Verified South African Law working right now?

We send a real MCP handshake every 15 minutes. Over the last 24 hours 92 of 92 checks got a reply (100.0%), average response time 750 ms. The bar chart above shows every period we have measured.

How do I connect GetLawED — Verified South African Law?

Copy the ready config from this page — we generate it for Claude Code, Claude Desktop, Codex, Cursor and VS Code, each with the file path that client actually reads. It is a remote server, so there is nothing to install — the client connects to the address.

Does GetLawED — Verified South African Law need an API key?

No. GetLawED — Verified South African Law completed a full MCP handshake with us as an anonymous client and listed its tools without asking for anything. All 3 of them are readable on this page. This is what we observed, not what the docs claim.

How fast is GetLawED — Verified South African Law?

It answers our handshake in 750 ms on average, which is faster than 12% of all working MCP servers we measure. That is on the slow side — worth knowing if the tool sits inside an interactive loop. The comparison comes from our own checks across the whole registry, every 15 minutes.
