BAILII UK Case Law — questions

Answers built from our own checks of this server.

Why is there no uptime for BAILII UK Case Law?
BAILII UK Case Law runs on your own machine over stdio — there is no network address to reach, so uptime cannot be measured for it by anyone. What can be measured is adoption: the pypi package bailii-mcp was installed 87 times last week.
How do I connect BAILII UK Case 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 runs locally, so the command pulls bailii-mcp straight from pypi; nothing to host, nothing to sign up for.
How many people use BAILII UK Case Law?
The pypi package bailii-mcp was installed 87 times in the last week. Week over week that is +9%. We show installs rather than GitHub stars on purpose: a star is a bookmark, an install is someone actually running it.
Is BAILII UK Case Law open source?
We cannot say either way: written in Python and 5 stars on GitHub, but we could not determine the licence, and without one the code is not open source by default.
