⚖️ Indian Legal MCP Server (v3.1)

High-Performance Model Context Protocol Server with Domain Skills for Indian Law & Jurisprudence

Structured, authoritative access to 102 Indian Acts & Codes (12,174 sections) coupled with 10 Domain Legal Research Skills for AI assistants, LLM agents, and legal practitioners.

⚡ Overview

The Indian Legal MCP Server connects Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor, Windsurf, Claude Code, and any MCP-compliant autonomous agent directly to India's entire statutory legal system.

Built on SQLite with native FTS5 full-text indexing, BM25 ranking, and sub-millisecond retrieval, it provides:

• 102 Complete Indian Acts & Codes spanning 12,174 statutory sections, articles, schedules, and appendices.
• 10 Domain Skills + 1 Core Universal Skill: Procedural AI research workflows adhering strictly to the principle that the MCP is the library, while skills are the procedures the AI follows.
• Modern 2023 Criminal Reform Sanhitas (BNS, BNSS, BSA) alongside historical codes (IPC, CrPC, IEA) with 2,629 bidirectional section concordance mappings.
• Complete 2026 Constitution of India (Articles 1–395, Preamble, all 12 Schedules, 3 Appendices) incorporating up to the 106th Amendment.
• Direct Taxation & Corporate Framework: Income-tax Act, 2025 (536 sections), Companies Act (517 sections), SEBI Act, SCRA, LLP, MSMED, IBC, and Arbitration.
• 16 Core Legal Tools + 15 Advanced Prompt Workflows (Beginner explanations, brief drafting, statutory comparison, and legal claim verification).

🧠 Legal Research Skills Architecture

Design Principle: The MCP is the library, and a skill is the procedure the AI follows while using it. A skill never contains raw statutory text—the law stays in the MCP database, and the skill instructs the AI how to fetch, verify, and cite it without hallucinations.
