Access 102 Indian Acts, 2026 Constitution, criminal mappings, and 10 legal research skills.
Remote MCP server giving assistants structured access to 102 Indian Acts, the 2026 Constitution, criminal-law section mappings and legal research skills.
Web executable via Streamable HTTP. Remote servers run from the web runtime once configured in a workspace.
Paste this prompt into Claude Code, Codex, Cursor or another agent — or into SourceWeft chat. The agent reads this server's install guide, shows you its publisher, endpoint and sign-in, and adds it to your client once you agree. Keys never go into a command.
Read https://sourceweft.com/mcp/io.github.GSMS-B%2Findian-legal-mcp/install.md and connect the MCP server it describes to my client. Before changing any config, show me its publisher, endpoint and sign-in method and wait for my OK. Never put an API key in a command or in a file I would commit; ask me where it should come from.Add this to your client's mcpServers config.

Structured, authoritative access to 102 Indian Acts & Codes (12,174 sections) coupled with 10 Domain Legal Research Skills for AI assistants, LLM agents, and legal practitioners.
[MCP Version] [Database Size] [Skills Architecture] [License: MIT] [HF Space] [FastMCP]
The Indian Legal MCP Server connects Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor, Windsurf, Claude Code, and any MCP-compliant autonomous agent directly to India's entire statutory legal system.
Built on SQLite with native FTS5 full-text indexing, BM25 ranking, and sub-millisecond retrieval, it provides:
Design Principle: The MCP is the library, and a skill is the procedure the AI follows while using it. A skill never contains raw statutory text—the law stays in the MCP database, and the skill instructs the AI how to fetch, verify, and cite it without hallucinations.
Connect instantly to the live hosted MCP endpoint without installing Python or cloning code:

Important Notice: The Indian Legal MCP server is designed for legal research, compliance reference, educational analysis, and AI assistant grounding. It does not constitute formal legal advice. Neither the authors nor GSMS-B assume liability for actions taken based on this software. For live litigation or contractual advisory, always consult a qualified advocate and verify provisions against the official Gazette of India (indiacode.nic.in).

List all available Acts in the database, with metadata and descriptions. Use this to see which legal codes are supported or find short codes. Currently supports 102 official Acts of India.
Takes no parameters.
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.
act_coderequired[TOKEN OPTIMIZATION TOOL: Use this instead of list_acts to find act codes for any legal topic or statute name in a tiny, lightweight response.] Find the exact act_code(s) for any topic, statute name, or keyword. Returns a compact list of matching Acts with their act_code, official name, and enactment year. Examples: resolve_act('environment') -> [EPA, NGT, AIR, WATER, WPA, VSA] resolve_act('hindu') -> [HMA, HSA, HAMA] resolve_act('cheque') -> [NIA] resolve_act('company') -> [CA, IBC, COMMERCIAL_COURTS] resolve_act('marriage') -> [HMA, SMA, FCA, PCMA] resolve_act('data protection') -> [DPDPA, IT_ACT]
queryrequired[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', 'show me IPC 302', or 'what does COI Article 21 say'. 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. For the Constitution of India (COI), section_number='0' retrieves the Preamble.
act_coderequiredsection_numberrequiredList 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.
act_coderequiredGet every section within one chapter (or Constitution Part) of an Act, with full text. Supports all chaptered Acts in the database (e.g. BNS, BNSS, BSA, IPC, CRPC, IEA, COI, CA, IBC, SEBI, SCRA, ITA, EA, DCA, LLP, MHA, MSMED, etc.). You can query by Roman numeral (e.g. 'I', 'III', 'VIA'), Arabic numeral (e.g. '1', '3', '6A'), or by chapter title keywords (e.g. 'Fundamental Rights', 'Adjudication', 'Demutualisation'). For CPC and MVA, which lack chapter grouping in this dataset, it returns an informative message.
act_coderequiredchapter_numberrequiredGet all sections between a start and end number (inclusive) with full text. If start and end are provided in reverse order, it silently corrects them and includes a note in the response.
act_coderequiredend_sectionrequiredstart_sectionrequiredGet 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.
pageact_coderequired[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 across all 102 Acts (including the 2026 Constitution of India, criminal, civil, commercial, corporate, labor, tax, environmental, public health, and family codes). Exact title matches rank #1, partial title matches rank #2, and body text matches rank #3 (via BM25). Handles exact phrases, multi-word keywords, section citations (e.g. 'Article 21: Life & Liberty'), and punctuation gracefully. If filtered by an Act that has no matching provisions, dynamically detects and suggests other Acts in the database where relevant provisions exist.
queryrequiredact_codeMap/convert any criminal law section between the old repealed codes (IPC, CrPC, IEA) and the new 2023 criminal codes (BNS, BNSS, BSA) in either direction. Returns the corresponding section number, amendment status ('Retained', 'Change', 'Deleted', 'New Section', 'New Sub-Section'), a concise mapping statement, and the full statutory text of both sections for instant comparison. Examples: convert_section('IPC', '302') -> maps to BNS Section 103 (Punishment for murder) convert_section('BNS', '103') -> maps to IPC Section 302 + highlights new sub-section 103(2) (Mob Lynching) convert_section('CRPC', '437') -> maps to BNSS Section 480 (Non-bailable offence bail) convert_section('IEA', '65B') -> maps to BSA Section 63 (Electronic records admissibility) convert_section('IPC', '377') -> notes that this section was repealed and deleted in BNS convert_section('BNS', '111') -> notes that Organised Crime is a newly introduced provision
act_coderequiredinclude_textsection_numberrequiredGet the full text and tables of a specific Schedule of the Constitution of India (2026 Edition). Covers all 12 Schedules (First to Twelfth Schedule). Examples: get_constitution_schedule('Seventh') -> Union, State, and Concurrent Lists get_constitution_schedule('7') -> Same as 'Seventh' get_constitution_schedule('Eighth') -> Languages get_constitution_schedule('First') -> States and Union Territories
schedule_numberrequiredList all 12 Schedules of the Constitution of India with their numbers and titles.
Takes no parameters.
Get the full text of an Appendix to the Constitution of India (2026 Edition). Covers Appendix I (100th Amendment / Land Boundary Agreement), Appendix II (J&K Order 2019 / C.O. 272), and Appendix III (Declaration under Article 370(3) / C.O. 273).
appendix_numberrequiredList all 3 Appendices of the Constitution of India with their numbers and titles.
Takes no parameters.
Discover expert legal research procedures and workflows available in the system. Returns the skills registry containing domain skill IDs, titles, triggers ('use_when'), covered act codes, recommended tool sequences, and reference files. If query is provided, filters skills by keyword matching against skill ID, title, trigger keywords, or act codes.
queryrequiredRetrieve procedural instructions and domain reference files for a legal skill. Call this tool after checking list_skills to load the exact workflow for a legal domain. Use skill_id='_core' to retrieve global legal reasoning, citation, and anti-hallucination rules.

How complete this listing is, computed from the registry entry, the endpoint and public sources. Not a rating of the server and not a statement that it is safe or working today: reachability is a dated check, and no installs or reviews go into the score.
