Legal Reference MCP Server
Governed, global legal reference data for ADK-Rust Enterprise agents. Provides 24 MCP tools across 14 jurisdictions — retrieves and structures legal information without providing legal advice.
What it gives an agent
A purpose-built capability behind one MCP connection.
The server owns its domain logic and publishes a tool contract an MCP client can discover. ADK-Rust can load that contract into an agent, normalize each schema for the chosen model provider, and keep the connection lifecycle outside the agent’s business logic.
Citation required — all results include source URLs, jurisdiction tags, and retrieval timestamps.
Human review recommended — every response flags human_review_recommended: true.
Multi-jurisdictional — 14 countries across Americas, Europe, Asia-Pacific, and global sanctions.
Governed access — all tools are read-only with governance gates for audit compliance.
Architecture
How Legal Reference MCP Server fits into an agent system.
The model never needs the implementation details or credentials of the system behind the server. It sees reviewed tool definitions. The MCP client handles discovery and calls, while the server keeps ownership of validation, policy, and communication with its domain system.
01
ADK-Rust agent
Chooses a capability from the reviewed tool catalog.
02
MCP client
Discovers schemas, sends calls, and receives typed content.
03
Legal Reference MCP Server
Validates the request and owns 14 documented tool contracts.
04
Domain system
Keeps the API, data, credentials, and business rules behind the server.
This repository does not currently publish a dedicated architecture SVG. The integration diagram above is generated from its documented transport and server boundary; use the official README for implementation-specific details.
Tool catalog
What can an agent ask Legal Reference MCP Server to do?
Each tool has a stable name, a human-readable purpose, and a JSON input contract discovered during MCP initialization. Risk classes come from the project’s registry manifest when one is available.

Understand the effect of every tool.
A server connection inherits the authority of its credentials and deployment environment. The declarations below come from this project’s README and MCP registry manifest; your application still decides which tools an agent receives and where approval is required.

MCP surface
What the current documentation declares.
MCP can carry tools, resources, prompts, structured results, progress, cancellation, and long-running work. This record highlights the modern protocol features explicitly mentioned by this repository.
The current README concentrates on its tool surface. Check the source and release notes before relying on optional MCP capabilities beyond tool discovery and invocation.

Install and connect
Follow the project’s documented starting point.
Install the server in the environment that owns its credentials and domain access. Add it to your MCP host, verify the discovered tools, and narrow the toolset before giving it to a production agent.
Install
cargo install mcp-legalMCP client configuration
{
"mcpServers": {
"legal": {
"command": "mcp-legal"
