Nothing serious here today
Today is the operative word: we check Global law every 15 minutes and re-read its code on every release. Watch it and you find out the day that stops being true.

Read directly from the server with tools/list, grouped by what they act on.
If a tool disappears, we record the date.
law
law_details
The full record of a law's change: its commit message with every trailer (enacted, in force, published, sources, scope), the provisions it changed, and what it did to each one's words (a word diff, or "layout only", or "text moved between provisions"). One call answers "what did this law change"; no need to compare each provision.
read_law
The text of a provision as it was in force on a date, with the law that last changed it, the next change, its history in brief, and any limit of the record that applies. Several provisions in one answer: give paths, or a folder (an act) as path.
search_law
Search the text of all the law in force on a date, across every jurisdiction or one. Plain text by default.
changes
changes_between
Every provision whose text on date_b differs from its text on date_a, in every jurisdiction or one, with the laws that took effect after date_a, up to and including date_b.
search_changes
Search the record of changes (each commit message: the law, its dates, what it did) rather than the text of the law. For example "temporary", "COVID", "Bundesrat". With start and end, the changes in force from start to end, both days included.
provision
find_provision
Find the file path of a provision by its number ("1182", "Art. 16a", "reg 13") or words from its heading ("debtor", "Asylrecht"). Also finds an act by its name ("Data Protection Act 2018": its folder) and a court decision by its docket number or citation ("1 BvR 1547/19", "410 U.S. 113").
provision_history
Every law that changed a provision, oldest first, with its in-force, enacted or made, and published dates.
applies
applies_to_case
For a case commenced on one date, which later changes to a provision reach it (from any scope the record holds, such as "cases commenced on or after"), and the text that applies to it.
compare
compare_dates
How a provision changed between two dates: a word-level diff of its text on date_a and its text on date_b, and the laws that took effect after date_a, up to and including date_b.
jurisdictions
list_jurisdictions
List every jurisdiction and body of law in the tree, with how far each record reaches and an example path. Start here.
laws
laws_between
Every law that took effect between two dates, both days included, across all jurisdictions or one, in the order they took effect.
phrase
phrase_history
When words came into the law and when they left it, at any date and in every jurisdiction: each change whose added or removed text contains them. Use it for things no longer in force (for example "COVID" in the Grundgesetz).
precedent
check_precedent
The judgments the record holds for a provision, each checked: is the text the court applied still the text in force (today, or on a date), and if not, which laws changed it and how? Also checks any one decision by the day it was decided (decided).
provisions
list_provisions
Browse a corpus: the provision files under a corpus or folder (for example united-states/federal/usc/title-11), with headings, as in force on a date. For a folder of acts or instruments, by_folder gives one row each with its title and last change; a partial name lists the folders that start with it (malta/national/acts/sl/586. for every instrument made under Cap. 586).
resolve
resolve_citations
Read every citation in a piece of text (a brief, a judgment, an email) and resolve each to its provision, with its state on a date: in force or not, the law that last changed it, and the next change.
what
what_else_changes
Which provisions rely on, cite or use the definitions of this one, on a date: those that cite it, and those that use a term it defines (for example the provisions that use "debtor in possession"), with the definition's scope ("In this subchapter"). Use it before a text search when asked what depends on a provision or its definitions; a change to this provision can change what they mean.
who
who_wrote
Which law wrote each word (or each line) of a provision as it stood on a date, with a count of words per law.
world
world_on_date
What every jurisdiction in the tree looked like on one date: the last change in force in each, and the next.

Global law — questions
Answers built from our own checks of this server.
What can Global law do?
It exposes 18 tools, read directly from the server on our last check. Among them: applies_to_case, changes_between, check_precedent, compare_dates, find_provision, law_details and 12 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 Global law mostly used for?
Its tools cluster around law, changes and provision. 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 Global law working right now?
We send a real MCP handshake every 15 minutes. Over the last 24 hours 13 of 13 checks got a reply (100.0%), average response time 189 ms. The bar chart above shows every period we have measured.
How do I connect Global law?
Copy the ready config from this page. We generate it for Claude Code, Claude Desktop, Codex, Cursor and VS Code, each in the form that client actually reads. It is a remote server, so there is nothing to install — the client connects to the address.
Does Global law need an API key?
No. Global law completed a full MCP handshake with us as an anonymous client and listed its tools without asking for anything. All 18 of them are readable on this page. This is what we observed, not what the docs claim.
How fast is Global law?
It answers our handshake in 189 ms on average, which is faster than 71% of all working MCP servers we measure. The comparison comes from our own checks across the whole registry, every 15 minutes.
Is Global law open source?
We cannot say either way: written in HTML, 1 925 stars on GitHub and 2 open issues, but we could not determine the licence, and without one the code is not open source by default.
