Overview

AI-generated overview

Remote MCP server that lets an assistant search official South African legal texts, read and quote exact sections, and verify case citations.

What you can do
  • Search the GetLawED library of official South African legal texts: Constitutional Court, SCA, High Court, Labour, Land, Tax and tribunal judgments, Acts, regulations, by-laws, Bills and Government Gazettes
  • Read the full text of a single document section, or the relevant part of a judgment, to quote the exact provision
  • Verify South African case citations and Acts in a piece of text against official copies and verified records, with each item flagged as found or found by citation only
When to use it
Useful when answering South African legal or tax questions, quoting statutory provisions, or checking a case citation or Act before relying on it. Results are meant to support a legal professional and should be read before use.
Requirements
A remote streamable HTTP endpoint; no local package or runtime. An optional Authorization header with a bearer key from GetLawED can be supplied, but the free tier works without it.
Before you install
The Authorization header carries a secret API key if you choose to use one. Results are research support only: absence from the library does not mean an authority does not exist, and citations flagged as found by citation alone were not compared by party names.

Installation

In SourceWeft

  1. Open GetLawED — Verified South African Law in the dashboard and add it to a workspace.
  2. Enable the server for the chats that should use its tools.

Web executable via Streamable HTTP. Remote servers run from the web runtime once configured in a workspace.

Use with an agent

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/za.co.getlawed%2Fsa-law/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.

Read the install guide the agent follows

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.
