A side-by-side look at the Korea Tax Law and Australian Law MCP MCP servers: transport, auth, tools, quality signals, and the config to install either one in Claude, Cursor, Windsurf or VS Code.
Verdict: choose Korea Tax Law for legal work as a local process; choose Australian Law MCP for legal as a local process. You can also run both side by side in one mcpServers block.
LAW_OC, UPSTAGE_API_KEY, KOREAN_TAX_MCP_SOLAR_BASE_URL.search_law, get_law_text, get_law_as_at.Rows where the two servers differ are marked.

search_lawFinds Commonwealth acts and legislative instruments on the Federal Register of Legislation by title. Returns title ids for the other tools. Falls back to full-text matching when nothing matches by name.get_law_textReturns the latest compilation of a Commonwealth act or instrument. Without a section number it lists the table of sections; with one it returns that provision. Set full=true for the whole text, paginated.get_law_as_atReturns the compilation of a Commonwealth act that was in force on the given date — the register keeps every historical version. Same output shape as get_law_text.get_amendment_statusReports whether a title is in force, what its latest compilation incorporates, whether commenced amendments are still unincorporated, and which acts have amended it.compare_versionsShows what changed in an act between two dates: which sections were added, removed or reworded. Give a section number for a line-by-line diff of that provision.verify_citationsExtracts Australian statute citations from text and checks each against the Federal Register of Legislation: does the act exist, is it still in force, does the cited section exist in the current compilation. Use before presenting legal citations to a user. An upstream failure is reported as UNVERIFIED, never as a missing law.search_full_textSearches the body text of every act and instrument on the register for a phrase, ranked by relevance. Slower and broader than search_law.check_frl_healthPings the Federal Register of Legislation API and reports latency, so failures elsewhere can be attributed.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.
