}
indian_legal_mcp_get_act_info
Advertised by the server during the last successful anonymous check.

Get metadata about one specific Act: its full name, year enacted, and whether it is still current law or has been repealed and replaced by something newer.

indian_legal_mcp_get_act_info input schema
{
  "type": "object",
  "required": [
    "act_code"
  ],
  "properties": {
    "act_code": {
      "type": "string",

    }
  }
}
indian_legal_mcp_resolve_act
Advertised by the server during the last successful anonymous check.

[TOKEN OPTIMIZATION TOOL: Use this instead of list_acts to find act codes for any legal topic or statute name in a tiny, lightweight response.] Find the exact act_code(s) for any topic, statute name, or keyword. Returns a compact list of matching Acts with their act_code, official name, and enactment year. Examples: resolve_act('environment') -> [EPA, NGT, AIR, WATER, WPA, VSA] resolve_act('hindu') -> [HMA, HSA, HAMA] resolve_act('cheque') -> [NIA] resolve_act('company') -> [CA, IBC, COMMERCIAL_COURTS] resolve_act('marriage') -> [HMA, SMA, FCA, PCMA] resolve_act('data protection') -> [DPDPA, IT_ACT]

    }
  }
}
indian_legal_mcp_get_section
Advertised by the server during the last successful anonymous check.

[AI TOOL ORCHESTRATION INSTRUCTION: Only use this tool AFTER you have found the exact section number via search_keyword, or if the user explicitly provided it.] Get the exact text of ONE section (or Constitution article) by its number. Use this when someone asks about a specific, known section number, e.g. 'what does BNS Section 103 say', 'show me IPC 302', or 'what does COI Article 21 say'. If the Act is repealed (IPC, CRPC, or IEA), the result includes a note that it no longer applies to new cases and names what replaced it. For the Constitution of India (COI), section_number='0' retrieves the Preamble.

    }
  }
}
indian_legal_mcp_list_sections
Advertised by the server during the last successful anonymous check.

List every section NUMBER and TITLE in one Act, without the full body text. Use this to browse what exists in an Act before deciding which specific section or chapter to fetch in full -- much shorter than get_full_act.

}
indian_legal_mcp_get_chapter
Advertised by the server during the last successful anonymous check.

Get every section within one chapter (or Constitution Part) of an Act, with full text. Supports all chaptered Acts in the database (e.g. BNS, BNSS, BSA, IPC, CRPC, IEA, COI, CA, IBC, SEBI, SCRA, ITA, EA, DCA, LLP, MHA, MSMED, etc.). You can query by Roman numeral (e.g. 'I', 'III', 'VIA'), Arabic numeral (e.g. '1', '3', '6A'), or by chapter title keywords (e.g. 'Fundamental Rights', 'Adjudication', 'Demutualisation'). For CPC and MVA, which lack chapter grouping in this dataset, it returns an informative message.

{
  "type": "object",

    }
  }
}
indian_legal_mcp_get_section_range
Advertised by the server during the last successful anonymous check.

Get all sections between a start and end number (inclusive) with full text. If start and end are provided in reverse order, it silently corrects them and includes a note in the response.

    }
  }
}
indian_legal_mcp_get_full_act
Advertised by the server during the last successful anonymous check.

Get an entire Act, in full, returned in paginated chunks (50 sections/page). Use only when genuinely needing the whole Act. If a page beyond the total pages is requested, it gracefully returns empty sections with a note.

indian_legal_mcp_get_full_act input schema

    }
  }
}
indian_legal_mcp_search_keyword
Advertised by the server during the last successful anonymous check.

[AI TOOL ORCHESTRATION INSTRUCTION: ALWAYS use this tool FIRST when the specific section number is unknown. Never guess section numbers.] Search section titles and text across all 102 Acts (including the 2026 Constitution of India, criminal, civil, commercial, corporate, labor, tax, environmental, public health, and family codes). Exact title matches rank #1, partial title matches rank #2, and body text matches rank #3 (via BM25). Handles exact phrases, multi-word keywords, section citations (e.g. 'Article 21: Life & Liberty'), and punctuation gracefully. If filtered by an Act that has no matching provisions, dynamically detects and suggests other Acts in the database where relevant provisions exist.

      "type": "string",
      "description": "optional -- restrict search to one Act (e.g. 'BNS', 'IPC', 'COI', 'CA', 'RERA', 'IBC')."
    }
  }
}
indian_legal_mcp_convert_section
Advertised by the server during the last successful anonymous check.

Map/convert any criminal law section between the old repealed codes (IPC, CrPC, IEA) and the new 2023 criminal codes (BNS, BNSS, BSA) in either direction. Returns the corresponding section number, amendment status ('Retained', 'Change', 'Deleted', 'New Section', 'New Sub-Section'), a concise mapping statement, and the full statutory text of both sections for instant comparison. Examples: convert_section('IPC', '302') -> maps to BNS Section 103 (Punishment for murder) convert_section('BNS', '103') -> maps to IPC Section 302 + highlights new sub-section 103(2) (Mob Lynching) convert_section('CRPC', '437') -> maps to BNSS Section 480 (Non-bailable offence bail) convert_section('IEA', '65B') -> maps to BSA Section 63 (Electronic records admissibility) convert_section('IPC', '377') -> notes that this section was repealed and deleted in BNS convert_section('BNS', '111') -> notes that Organised Crime is a newly introduced provision
