A side-by-side look at the Dayanak and BAILII UK Case Law MCP servers: transport, auth, tools, quality signals, and the config to install either one in Claude, Cursor, Windsurf or VS Code.
Verdict: choose Dayanak for legal work as a local process; choose BAILII UK Case Law for legal as a local process. You can also run both side by side in one mcpServers block.
