Server-provided instructions

Untrusted server output shown for inspection. It is not Koskamo guidance and is excluded from knowledge search.

UK Law: the legislation of the United Kingdom (Acts and regulations of the UK Parliament, Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland, historic parliaments and EU-origin law), converted from legislation.gov.uk and updated daily. How to answer a question about UK law: 1. search_laws with words from the law's title (or browse list_topics / get_topic by subject). 2. get_law with the id. A long law returns its contents; then call get_law again with part, e.g. "section 86", "schedule 1", "part 2". 3. Answer from the text you read: name the law and section, quote the key words, give the official link, say how current the text is (status and text_date in the front matter: "as-enacted" means later amendments are NOT applied; "revised-with-pending-changes" means some are not yet applied) and where it applies (extent: E England, W Wales, S Scotland, N.I. Northern Ireland). 4. Say it is not legal advice and the official text or a lawyer should be checked.

Connect from your client

Each snippet registers the same endpoint; pick the client you use.

This server is operated by the named third party. Listing and endpoint checks are not an endorsement or a security audit. Review the operator's permissions, terms, and data handling before connecting. How listings are checked and corrected.

Claude Code

Run this once in a terminal. It registers the remote server. Use --scope project to write .mcp.json for the repo.
