Sg Eli Mcp

sg-eli-mcp

An MCP server for Singapore Statutes Online (SSO, sso.agc.gov.sg), the Attorney-General's Chambers' official portal for Singapore legislation. It browses, fetches, and cites Acts, with a verifiable citation on every response.

Part of the MateMatic eu-legal-mcp production line, extended into Asia alongside jp-eli-mcp. Same citation contract (a stable identifier + a human-readable citation + a source URL), adapted for a jurisdiction with no ELI and no public search API.

Scope. SSO's robots.txt disallows /search; discovery here is by browsing the current Acts listing (sg_list_acts, paginated), not by title or keyword query. Fetch a specific section (sg_get_provision) or the full text (sg_get_full_text, truncated for very large Acts). Every response carries a dataset_note.

Licence. SSO legislation is official public information published by the Singapore government. This connector relays it with attribution and a source_url, respects robots.txt (no /search calls), and does not cache more aggressively than a normal browser visit would.

The tools

Every response carries the contract: eli_uri (Singapore has no ELI - this is the durable SSO act URL, e.g. https://sso.agc.gov.sg/Act/CoA1967, see eli_note), human_readable_citation (the Act title as SSO itself renders it, e.g. Companies Act 1967), and source_url.

Install

As a Claude plugin (Claude Code or the desktop app, needs uv); see plugin/README.md for what it sends and stores:

/plugin marketplace add matematicsolutions/sg-eli-mcp/plugin install sg-eli-mcp@sg-eli-mcp

As a standalone server, from PyPI:

uvx sg-eli-mcp

Configuration via env:

• SG_ELI_BASE_URL - default https://sso.agc.gov.sg
• SG_ELI_CACHE_DIR - default ~/.matematic/cache/sg-eli
• SG_ELI_AUDIT_DIR - default ~/.matematic/audit

No API key. SSO is keyless.

Configure (Claude Code / any MCP client)

{  "mcpServers": {    "sg-eli-mcp": { "command": "sg-eli-mcp" }  }}

Windows 11 with Smart App Control

Smart App Control blocks unsigned executables, which covers uvx.exe, pip.exe and the sg-eli-mcp.exe launcher that pip writes at install time. The python.exe and py.exe from the python.org installer are signed by the Python Software Foundation, so running the module through the interpreter works:

python -m pip install sg-eli-mcppython -m sg_eli_mcp

pip.exe is blocked for the same reason, so install with python -m pip, not pip install. If python is not on PATH, use the Windows launcher: py -3 -m sg_eli_mcp.

{ "mcpServers": { "sg-eli-mcp": { "command": "python", "args": ["-m", "sg_eli_mcp"] } } }

Do not turn Smart App Control off to work around this - it cannot be re-enabled without reinstalling Windows.

Governance

• Public data only - read-only against SSO; no client data leaves the machine.
• Robots-compliant - never calls /search (disallowed by SSO's robots.txt); discovery uses only the allowed /Browse listing.
• Audit log - every tool call appends one JSON line to ~/.matematic/audit/sg-eli-mcp.jsonl.
• Network - the server talks to sso.agc.gov.sg and the local filesystem. Once, on first use, it also fetches a small configuration file (sg-runtime.json.gz, updated source addresses) from this repository's GitHub Releases. That request carries no query content; GitHub's download counter for the file is the only usage signal we see. SG_ELI_RUNTIME_URL="" turns it off; the Claude plugin ships with it off. No LLM provider, no other telemetry.
• Verifiable citations - every response is independently checkable via source_url.
