Which MCP Server Should You Choose?
Choose Australian Law MCP when:
You need dedicated capabilities in the Legal domain.
You prefer local stdio subprocess transport architecture.
Your security boundary fits: No auth required (Free / Open Source).
Find acts and instruments by name. Returns the title ids the other tools take.
get_law_text
The current compilation: the table of provisions, one section, or the full text paginated. Schedules are addressable too (`section="Schedule 7"`), which is where rate tables and forms actually live.
get_law_as_at
The same, but as the law stood on any past date.
verify_citations
Pull statute citations out of text and check each against the register: does the act exist, is it in force, does the cited section exist. Upstream failures come back as UNVERIFIED, never as a missing law.
get_amendment_status
In force or repealed, what the latest compilation incorporates, whether commenced amendments are still unincorporated, and what has amended it.
Ready-to-Paste Client Configurations
Paste either (or both) of these JSON server blocks into your client config file (e.g. claude_desktop_config.json or ~/.cursor/mcp.json).

check_frl_health
Ping the register API so failures elsewhere can be attributed.
