ca-eli-mcp
MCP server for Canadian federal legislation via the Justice Laws Website (laws-lois.justice.gc.ca), the Department of Justice Canada's official source for consolidated Acts and regulations. Bilingual (English/French).
What this is not
- No free-text search - the Justice Laws Website has no search API of
its own. This connector is by-code only (the same limitation as
ie-eli-mcpfor Ireland): you need to already know the code (e.g."C-46"for the Criminal Code) or a short title to look one up. - Federal only - provincial and territorial legislation is out of scope.
- No case law - CanLII's terms of service forbid bulk redistribution and its content API requires a per-identity key, which breaks the zero-cloud pattern this connector otherwise follows. Not attempted here.
Tools
| Tool | Purpose |
|---|---|
ca_get_document | Metadata (title, in-force status, last-consolidated date) for one act or regulation |
ca_get_text | Full consolidated XML text of the same document |
ca_coverage | Declare what this connector covers, when each family was captured, and - explicitly - what it does NOT cover. Every gap carries a fallback. |
Every response carries lex_uri (the XML source), source_url (the public
HTML page), and human_readable_citation (e.g. "Criminal Code (C-46)").
Install
pip install ca-eli-mcp
Windows 11 with Smart App Control
Smart App Control blocks unsigned executables, which covers uvx.exe, pip.exe
and the ca-eli-mcp.exe launcher that pip writes at install time. The python.exe and
py.exe from the python.org installer are signed by the Python Software
Foundation, so running the module through the interpreter works:
python -m pip install ca-eli-mcp
python -m ca_eli_mcp
pip.exe is blocked for the same reason, so install with python -m pip, not
pip install. If python is not on PATH, use the Windows launcher: py -3 -m ca_eli_mcp.
{ "mcpServers": { "ca-eli-mcp": { "command": "python", "args": ["-m", "ca_eli_mcp"] } } }
Do not turn Smart App Control off to work around this - it cannot be re-enabled without reinstalling Windows.
