Georgia Commons missed one check this week

Everything else answered, so this is steady rather than shaky. We check every 15 minutes, which is how a one-off gets told apart from the start of a pattern, and how you hear about the next one within the hour instead of from your users.

Available tools 23

Read directly from the server with tools/list, grouped by what they act on. If a tool disappears, we record the date.

code

code_browse

The hierarchy: the titles (no argument), a title's chapters ('36'), or a chapter's sections ('36-60'), one line each with counts, citation spans, and twin URLs.

code_describe_structure

Call first for the Code. The citation grammar, how to find a section without its citation, how versions and statuses work, what is and is not in the text, and the list of titles. Cheap.

code_find_act

Laws by the short title the statute states ('Joshua's Law', 'Georgia Lemonade Stand Act'): the citing section and the unit the name covers.

code_find_chapter

For 'I know the topic but not the citation': the titles, chapters, articles, and parts whose headings carry the words, with the code_browse call that lists each.

code_get_chapter

Every section of a chapter with its text, in order, windowed by max_sections (default 40) and max_chars (default 100,000); the output ends with a pointer to continue or 'End of chapter.'

code_lookup_section

One Code section by citation in any written form (44-7-34, 'O.C.G.A. § 44-7-34', 'Title 44, Chapter 7, Section 34'), as the same Markdown twin the site serves: frontmatter (cite_as, canonical_url, source_url, status, version), the verbatim text, then the notes capped. `version` picks a printed version by its qualifier; `subsection` ('a', 'a-1') renders one part. A 404 names the neighboring sections.

code_lookup_sections

Several sections at once: a list ('44-7-30, 44-7-31 and 44-7-34') or a range ('44-7-30 through 44-7-35'), up to 40 sections under a 150,000-character cap, with a trailer naming anything not rendered.

code_search

Full-text search of the Code: words, or a citation, or both. A citation among words returns that section first; a query that names an act returns the section stating its short title first; a query that is a passage of a provision word for word returns that provision first. Search matches the words of the document: ask in the words the statute would use. `in_headings` searches only headings and catchlines and adds the matching units. `scheme` picks the collection: `ocga` (default), `ga` for the Georgia constitution, `us` for the United States constitution.

bills

bills_get_text

The stored text of a bill alone, windowed by `start` and `max_chars` (default 60,000), with a pointer to continue.

bills_list

The bills of a session (the newest when `session` is omitted), in number order, 25 a page: `id, title, status, URL`. Filter by `kind` (hb, sb, hr, sr), `chamber` (H or S), LegiScan `status` code, a caption `subject` (a headings search), or words `q`.

bills_lookup

One bill or resolution of the Georgia General Assembly by number in any written form (HB 136, H.B. 136, House Bill 136, 2025-2026/hb136, a LegiScan id), as the same Markdown twin the site serves: frontmatter (cite_as, canonical_url, source_url, status), the verbatim text, the summaries Georgia Commons wrote under a heading that says so, and status. With no `session`, a number means the newest regular session that has it; name the session (2026-special) for a special session's bill that shares its number. `full` adds history, votes, and amendments.

bills_search

Full-text search over bill text, titles, and the labeled summaries. A bare bill number is a direct lookup. Search matches the words of the document: ask in the words the bill would use. `in_headings` searches only titles, topic tags, and subjects.

opinions

opinions_get_text

The stored text of an opinion alone, windowed by `start` and `max_chars` (default 60,000), with a pointer to continue.

opinions_list

The opinions filed in a year (the newest year when omitted), in filing order, 25 a page: `docket, date, case name, case type, URL`. Filter by `case_type` (criminal appeal, civil, bar discipline, habeas, certified question, election, other) or words `q`.

opinions_lookup

One Supreme Court of Georgia opinion by docket in any case (S23A0421), reporter citation (317 Ga. 528, 883 S.E.2d 746), record id (a CourtListener cluster id, or ga- and the docket for a record read from the court's own website), or case name, as the same Markdown twin the site serves: frontmatter (cite_as, canonical_url, source_url, record_source, date, status), the verbatim opinion, then the summaries Georgia Commons wrote under a heading that says so. When several opinions share a docket this is the most recent and the frontmatter lists the others. `full` adds the summarized reasoning, checked quotes, and the upstream opinion records.

opinions_search

Full-text search over opinion text, case names, and the labeled summaries. A bare docket or citation is a direct lookup. Search matches the words of the document: ask in the words the court would use. `in_headings` searches only case names, legal areas, and case types.

constitution

constitution_browse

The articles and sections of a constitution ('ga' or 'us'), or one article's provisions, one line each with twin URLs.

constitution_lookup

One provision of the Georgia ('ga') or United States ('us') constitution as printed in the O.C.G.A., by citation ('Art. I, Sec. I, Para. I', 'Amend. XIV', 'Preamble') or slug, as its Markdown twin with the case annotations capped.

coverage

get_coverage

Exactly what is loaded, computed from the stores now: coverage sentences, corpus versions, counts, sessions, years, dates, licenses.

describe

describe_site

Call first. What Georgia Commons holds, which collections this server has loaded, the id and URL grammar, which tool to call next, and the independence statement. Cheap.

fetch

fetch

The full document for an id from search (code:44-7-34, ga-const:art-i-sec-i-para-i, bill:2025-2026/hb136, opinion:S26A0060): the same Markdown twin the site serves at url plus .md (frontmatter, verbatim text, any summaries under a heading that names them), with url the canonical page for citation and metadata from the frontmatter. `full` adds the optional material, or for the Code and constitutions the first 60,000-character page of the notes, whose frontmatter names the next page.

search

Search every loaded collection (or one, with `collection` = code, bills, or opinions) and return up to ten results as {id, title, url}. A Code or constitution citation, bill number, or docket in the query comes first. Search matches the words of the document. Ask in the words the document would use, not the words of the question. Follow with fetch(id).

verify

verify_quote

Whether a quote appears verbatim in the stored text of a document (after normalizing quotes, dashes, whitespace, and [T]he-style alterations, as the ingestion filter does). Deterministic; use it before relying on a quotation.

Georgia Commons — questions

Answers built from our own checks of this server.

What can Georgia Commons do?

It exposes 23 tools, read directly from the server on our last check. Among them: bills_get_text, bills_list, bills_lookup, bills_search, code_browse, code_describe_structure and 17 more. 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 →

What is Georgia Commons mostly used for?

Its tools cluster around code, bills and opinions. That is what this server is built to work with — the grouping comes from the actual tool names, not from a category we assigned.

Is Georgia Commons 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 433 ms. The bar chart above shows every period we have measured.

Is Georgia Commons still maintained?

The linked repository no longer exists on GitHub — it was deleted or made private. We show this because it changes what you can expect: an unmaintained server may keep answering for months and then stop without warning.

How do I connect Georgia Commons?

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 Georgia Commons need an API key?

No. Georgia Commons completed a full MCP handshake with us as an anonymous client and listed its tools without asking for anything. All 23 of them are readable on this page. This is what we observed, not what the docs claim.

How fast is Georgia Commons?

It answers our handshake in 433 ms on average, which is faster than 34% of all working MCP servers we measure. The comparison comes from our own checks across the whole registry, every 15 minutes.
