California Code Overview

California Code connects MCP clients to California Legislative Information for citation-based statute lookups. Its two primary tools list the state's 29 codes and retrieve a section's full text, position in the code, and latest section-level amendment record. Reach for it when an agent needs primary California statutory text rather than case law or bulk corpus search. Hosted MCP and local npm bridge options are available, with no authentication required for anonymous use.

Primary Use Cases for California Code:
  • Retrieve the text of a California statute by citation
  • Find the code identifier for a subject such as divorce
  • Check where a section appears in the California code hierarchy
  • Inspect the latest amendment information for a section
