Capabilities

What this server is able to do. For an MCP server this is often the job itself — a terminal server runs commands because that is what it is for. Listed so you know what you are plugging in, not as an accusation.

Builds a file path from a variable normalize.py:151

        filepath = os.path.join(RAW_DATA_DIR, filename)

Is this your server and something here is wrong? Tell us — corrections are free and do not require a plan.

This code can reach further than it looks

We found places where it runs commands, builds paths or queries from values it is given. None of that is a flaw by itself — it becomes one when the code changes, and code changes quietly between releases. We re-read it on every one.

Available tools 8

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

indian

indian_legal_mcp_get_act_info

Get metadata about one specific Act: its full name, year enacted, and whether it is still current law or has been repealed and replaced by something newer.

indian_legal_mcp_get_chapter

Get every section within one chapter of an Act, with full text. Only meaningful for BNS, BNSS, BSA, IPC, CRPC, IEA. For CPC, MVA, and COI, which lack chapter grouping in this dataset, it returns a clear message instead of empty data.

indian_legal_mcp_get_full_act

Get an entire Act, in full, returned in paginated chunks (50 sections/page). Use only when genuinely needing the whole Act. If a page beyond the total pages is requested, it gracefully returns empty sections with a note.

indian_legal_mcp_get_section

[AI TOOL ORCHESTRATION INSTRUCTION: Only use this tool AFTER you have found the exact section number via search_keyword, or if the user explicitly provided it.] Get the exact text of ONE section (or Constitution article) by its number. Use this when someone asks about a specific, known section number, e.g. 'what does BNS Section 103 say' or 'show me IPC 302'. If the Act is repealed (IPC, CRPC, or IEA), the result includes a note that it no longer applies to new cases and names what replaced it.

indian_legal_mcp_get_section_range

Get all sections between a start and end number (inclusive) with full text. Numeric comparison handles letter-suffixed numbers (like '108A'). If start and end are provided in reverse order, it silently corrects them and includes a note in the response.

indian_legal_mcp_list_acts

List all available Acts in the database, with metadata and descriptions. Use this to see which legal codes are supported or find short codes.

indian_legal_mcp_list_sections

List every section NUMBER and TITLE in one Act, without the full body text. Use this to browse what exists in an Act before deciding which specific section or chapter to fetch in full -- much shorter than get_full_act.

indian_legal_mcp_search_keyword

[AI TOOL ORCHESTRATION INSTRUCTION: ALWAYS use this tool FIRST when the specific section number is unknown. Never guess section numbers.] Search section titles and text. Exact title matches are ranked #1, partial title matches are #2, and body text matches are #3 (via BM25). This is exact/near-exact word matching, NOT meaning-based search.

Indian Legal MCP — questions

Answers built from our own checks of this server.

What can Indian Legal MCP do?

It exposes 8 tools, read directly from the server on our last check. Among them: indian_legal_mcp_get_act_info, indian_legal_mcp_get_chapter, indian_legal_mcp_get_full_act, indian_legal_mcp_get_section, indian_legal_mcp_get_section_range, indian_legal_mcp_list_acts and 2 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 →

Is Indian Legal MCP working right now?

We send a real MCP handshake every 15 minutes. Over the last 24 hours 91 of 91 checks got a reply (100.0%), average response time 347 ms. The bar chart above shows every period we have measured.

How do I connect Indian Legal MCP?

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 Indian Legal MCP need an API key?

No. Indian Legal MCP completed a full MCP handshake with us as an anonymous client and listed its tools without asking for anything. All 8 of them are readable on this page. This is what we observed, not what the docs claim.

How fast is Indian Legal MCP?

It answers our handshake in 347 ms on average, which is faster than 51% of all working MCP servers we measure. The comparison comes from our own checks across the whole registry, every 15 minutes.

Is Indian Legal MCP open source?

We cannot say either way: written in Python and 1 stars on GitHub, but we could not determine the licence, and without one the code is not open source by default.
