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

searchSearch the full text of federal law: United States Code, Code of Federal Regulations, Public Laws, Congressional Bills, Executive Orders. Results are ranked across every corpus unless `corpus` narrows them, each with its citation, a link and the matching words. A query that is only a citation returns that document instead.fetchRead a document or page of the site as markdown: a code section with its notes, a title's or unit's contents, a public law, a bill (at any version), an executive order. Paths also reach the corpus indexes ("/usc", "/pl?congress=118", "/bills?congress=119", "/eo") and each code's releases ("/usc/releases"). Links in the markdown are paths this tool accepts.citationsWhat cites a document: each corpus's citations of a code section, law, bill or order, with the words that cite it, and for a statute the regulations issued under it. Lists come 50 at a time; `list` and `offset` page through one.historyHow a document came to be: for a code section, the laws that enacted and amended it and every release that changed its text; for a law or bill, its legislative history, each version linked to its text and to what changed from the one before.compareWhat changed in a code section between two releases: each provision added, removed, changed or renumbered, the edits marked <del> and <ins>. To compare versions of a bill, take the 'what changed' link from its history.Paste either block (or both) into your client config, e.g. claude_desktop_config.json or ~/.cursor/mcp.json. We only show a config when the install command is confirmed.
