⚖️ Indian Legal MCP Server (v3.1)

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

⚡ 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.
