AusLaw MCP

AusLaw MCP

Model Context Protocol (MCP) server that locates Australian primary sources of law, surfaces neutral citation fallbacks, and extracts full-text content with OCR support for archival PDFs. Designed to complement StudGent-style legal workflows with portable deployment options (Node.js or container).

Features

  • Legislation and case law search prioritising Commonwealth and Victorian sources.

  • Structured results with reported and neutral citation metadata.

  • Full-text retrieval for HTML and PDF sources, with Tesseract OCR fallback when PDFs lack embedded text.

  • Portable runtime: Node.js 20+ or Docker container image.

Quick Start

git clone https://github.com/your-user/auslaw-mcp.git cd auslaw-mcp npm install npm run dev # hot reload for local development

To build for production:

npm run build npm start

MCP Registration

Configure your MCP-compatible client (e.g. Claude Desktop, Cursor) to launch the compiled server:

{ "auslaw-mcp": { "command": "node", "args": ["/path/to/auslaw-mcp/dist/index.js"], "env": {} } }

Roadmap

  • Implement AustLII search integration with robust HTML parsing.

  • Add secondary sources (e.g. LawCite) for fallback metadata.

  • Package Docker image with Tesseract OCR.

  • Expand unit tests and integration coverage with recorded fixtures.
