+ copyright notice that is included in or attached to the work
38
+ (an example is provided in the Appendix below).
39
+
40
+ "Derivative Works" shall mean any work, whether in Source or Object
41
+ form, that is based on (or derived from) the Work and for which the
42
+ editorial revisions, annotations, elaborations, or other modifications
43
+ represent, as a whole, an original work of authorship. For the purposes
44
+ of this License, Derivative Works shall not include works that remain
45
+ separable from, or merely link (or bind by name) to the interfaces of,
46
+ the Work and Derivative Works thereof.
47
+
48
+ "Contribution" shall mean any work of authorship, including

79
+ by such Contributor that are necessarily infringed by their
80
+ Contribution(s) alone or by combination of their Contribution(s)
81
+ with the Work to which such Contribution(s) was submitted. If You
82
+ institute patent litigation against any entity (including a
83
+ cross-claim or counterclaim in a lawsuit) alleging that the Work
84
+ or a Contribution incorporated within the Work constitutes direct
85
+ or contributory patent infringement, then any patent licenses
86
+ granted to You under this License for that Work shall terminate
87
+ as of the date such litigation is filed.
88
+
89
+ 4. Redistribution. You may reproduce and distribute copies of the
90
+ Work or Derivative Works thereof in any medium, with or without
91
+ modifications, and in Source or Object form, provided that You
92
+ meet the following conditions:

98
+ stating that You changed the files; and
99
+
100
+ (c) You must retain, in the Source form of any Derivative Works

+ that You distribute, all copyright, patent, trademark, and
102
+ attribution notices from the Source form of the Work,
103
+ excluding those notices that do not pertain to any part of
104
+ the Derivative Works; and
105
+
106
+ (d) If the Work includes a "NOTICE" text file as part of its
107
+ distribution, then any Derivative Works that You distribute must
108
+ include a readable copy of the attribution notices contained
109
+ within such NOTICE file, excluding those notices that do not
110
+ pertain to any part of the Derivative Works, in at least one
111
+ of the following places: within a NOTICE text file distributed
112
+ as part of the Derivative Works; within the Source form or
113
+ documentation, if provided along with the Derivative Works; or,
114
+ within a display generated by the Derivative Works, if and
115
+ wherever such third-party notices normally appear. The contents
116
+ of the NOTICE file are for informational purposes only and
117
+ do not modify the License. You may add Your own attribution
118
+ notices within Derivative Works that You distribute, alongside
119
+ or as an addendum to the NOTICE text from the Work, provided
120
+ that such additional attribution notices cannot be construed
121
+ as modifying the License.
122
+
123
+ You may add Your own copyright statement to Your modifications and
124
+ may provide additional or different license terms and conditions
125
+ for use, reproduction, or distribution of Your modifications, or
126
+ for any such Derivative Works as a whole, provided Your use,
127
+ reproduction, and distribution of the Work otherwise complies with
128
+ the conditions stated in this License.
129
+
130
+ 5. Submission of Contributions. Unless You explicitly state otherwise,
131
+ any Contribution intentionally submitted for inclusion in the Work
132
+ by You to the Licensor shall be under the terms and conditions of
133
+ this License, without any additional terms or conditions.
134
+ Notwithstanding the above, nothing herein shall supersede or modify
135
+ the terms of any separate license agreement you may have executed
136
+ with Licensor regarding such Contributions.
137
+
138
+ 6. Trademarks. This License does not grant permission to use the trade
139
+ names, trademarks, service marks, or product names of the Licensor,
140
+ except as required for reasonable and customary use in describing the
141
+ origin of the Work and reproducing the content of the NOTICE file.
142
+
143
+ 7. Disclaimer of Warranty. Unless required by applicable law or
144
+ agreed to in writing, Licensor provides the Work (and each
145
+ Contributor provides its Contributions) on an "AS IS" BASIS,
146
+ WITHOUT WARRANTIES OR CONDITIONS OF ANY KIND, either express or
147
+ implied, including, without limitation, any warranties or conditions
148
+ of TITLE, NON-INFRINGEMENT, MERCHANTABILITY, or FITNESS FOR A
149
+ PARTICULAR PURPOSE. You are solely responsible for determining the
150
+ appropriateness of using or redistributing the Work and assume any
151
+ risks associated with Your exercise of permissions under this License.
152
+
153
+ 8. Limitation of Liability. In no event and under no legal theory,
154
+ whether in tort (including negligence), contract, or otherwise,
155
+ unless required by applicable law (such as deliberate and grossly
156
+ negligent acts) or agreed to in writing, shall any Contributor be
157
+ liable to You for damages, including any direct, indirect, special,
158
+ incidental, or consequential damages of any character arising as a
159
+ result of this License or out of the use or inability to use the
160
+ Work (including but not limited to damages for loss of goodwill,
161
+ work stoppage, computer failure or malfunction, or any and all
162
+ other commercial damages or losses), even if such Contributor
163
+ has been advised of the possibility of such damages.
164
+
165
+ 9. Accepting Warranty or Additional Liability. While redistributing
166
+ the Work or Derivative Works thereof, You may choose to offer,
167
+ and charge a fee for, acceptance of support, warranty, indemnity,
168
+ or other liability obligations and/or rights consistent with this
169
+ License. However, in accepting such obligations, You may act only
170
+ on Your own behalf and on Your sole responsibility, not on behalf
171
+ of any other Contributor, and only if You agree to indemnify,
172
+ defend, and hold each Contributor harmless for any liability
173
+ incurred by, or claims asserted against, such Contributor by reason
174
+ of your accepting any such warranty or additional liability.

10
+
11
+ Query **Indian legislation** -- covering data protection, cybersecurity, corporate law, and more -- directly from Claude, Cursor, or any MCP-compatible client.
12
+
13
+ If you're building legal tech, compliance tools, or doing Indian legal research, this is your verified reference database.
14
+
15
+ Built by [Ansvar Systems](https://ansvar.eu) -- Stockholm, Sweden
16
+

18
+
19
+ ## Why This Exists
20
+
21
+ Indian legal research is scattered across official government databases, commercial legal platforms, and institutional archives. Whether you're:
22
+ - A **lawyer** validating citations in a brief or contract
23
+ - A **compliance officer** checking if a statute is still in force
24
+ - A **legal tech developer** building tools on Indian law
25
+ - A **researcher** tracing legislative history
26
+
27
+ ...you shouldn't need dozens of browser tabs and manual PDF cross-referencing. Ask Claude. Get the exact provision. With context.
28
+
29
+ This MCP server makes Indian law **searchable, cross-referenceable, and AI-readable**.

126
+ ## Laws Covered
127
+
128
+ | Law | Year | Key Topic |
129
+ |-----|------|-----------|
130
+ | **Digital Personal Data Protection Act (DPDPA)** | 2023 | India's comprehensive data protection law |
131
+ | **Information Technology Act** | 2000 (amended 2008) | Cybercrime, intermediary liability, electronic records |
132
+ | **IT (SPDI) Rules** | 2011 | Sensitive personal data protection for body corporates |
133
+ | **IT (Intermediary Guidelines) Rules** | 2021 | Platform obligations, content moderation, grievance redressal |
134
+ | **Companies Act** | 2013 | Corporate governance, director duties, compliance |
135
+ | **Consumer Protection Act** | 2019 | Consumer rights, e-commerce, unfair trade practices |
136
+ | **Aadhaar Act** | 2016 | Biometric identity system, authentication, data protection |
137
+ | **Constitution (selected provisions)** | 1950 (amended) | Fundamental rights, Article 21 (right to privacy) |
138
+
139
+ Additionally includes key subordinate legislation and directions:
140
+
141
+ - CERT-In Directions (April 2022) — 6-hour mandatory incident reporting
142
+ - DPDPA Rules (as notified)
143
+ - Network Data Security Management rules
144
+

146
+
147
+ ## Deployment Tiers
148
+
149
+ | Tier | Content | Database Size | Platform |
150
+ |------|---------|---------------|----------|
151
+ | **Free** | All Central Acts + IT Rules + CERT-In directions + EU cross-references | ~100-200 MB | Vercel (bundled) or local |
152
+ | **Professional** | + State Acts + Supreme Court landmark judgments + regulatory guidance + full subordinate legislation | ~500 MB-1 GB | Azure Container Apps / Docker / local |
153
+
154
+ ### Deployment Strategy: MEDIUM - Dual Tier, Bundled Free
155
+
156
+ The free-tier database containing Central Acts and key subordinate legislation is estimated at 100-200 MB, within the Vercel 250 MB bundle limit. The free-tier database is bundled directly with the Vercel deployment. The professional tier with Supreme Court judgments and expanded subordinate legislation requires local Docker or Azure Container Apps deployment.
157
+
158
+ ### Capability Detection
159
+
160
+ Both tiers use the same codebase. At startup, the server detects available SQLite tables and gates tools accordingly:
161
+
162
+ ```
163
+ Free tier: core_legislation, eu_references, cert_in_directions
164
+ Professional: core_legislation, eu_references, cert_in_directions, supreme_court_judgments, state_acts, subordinate_legislation
165
+ ```
166
+
167
+ Tools that require professional capabilities return an upgrade message on the free tier.
168
+
169
+ ---
170
+
171
+ ## Database Size Estimates
172
+
173
+ | Component | Estimated Size | Notes |
174
+ |-----------|---------------|-------|
175
+ | Central Acts (Parliament) | ~40-60 MB | ~800 Central Acts, full English text |
176
+ | IT Rules and subordinate legislation (key) | ~20-30 MB | SPDI Rules, Intermediary Guidelines, etc. |
177
+ | CERT-In directions and advisories | ~5-10 MB | Incident reporting, compliance requirements |
178
+ | EU cross-references | ~5-10 MB | DPDPA-GDPR, IT Act-NIS2 mappings |
179
+ | FTS5 indexes | ~30-50 MB | Full-text search indexes |
180
+ | **Free tier total** | **~100-200 MB** | |
181
+ | Supreme Court landmark judgments | ~200-400 MB | Privacy, IT Act interpretations |
182
+ | State Acts | ~200-300 MB | Selected State IT and data protection rules |
183
+ | **Professional tier total** | **~500 MB-1 GB** | |
184
+
185
+ ---
186
+
187
+ ## Language Support
188
+
189
+ The primary language is **English (en)**, which is the principal language of Indian legislation. Hindi (hi) translations are available for most Central Acts. All official law text on India Code is available in English, which is legally authoritative alongside Hindi.
190
+
191

192
+
193
+ ## Available Tools (13)
194
+
195
+ ### Core Legal Research Tools (8)
196
+
197
+ | Tool | Description |
198
+ |------|-------------|
199
+ | `search_legislation` | FTS5 full-text search across all provisions with BM25 ranking |
200
+ | `get_provision` | Retrieve specific provision by statute + chapter/section |
201
+ | `check_currency` | Check if statute is in force, amended, or repealed |
202
+ | `validate_citation` | Validate citation against database (zero-hallucination check) |
203
+ | `build_legal_stance` | Aggregate citations from statutes for a legal topic |
204
+ | `format_citation` | Format citations per Indian conventions (full/short/pinpoint) |
205
+ | `list_sources` | List all available statutes with metadata |
206
+ | `about` | Server info, capabilities, and coverage summary |
207
+
208
+ ### EU/International Law Integration Tools (5)
209
+
210
+ | Tool | Description |
211
+ |------|-------------|
212
+ | `get_eu_basis` | Get EU directives/regulations for Indian statute |
213
+ | `get_indian_implementations` | Find Indian laws implementing EU act |
214
+ | `search_eu_implementations` | Search EU documents with Indian implementation counts |
215
+ | `get_provision_eu_basis` | Get EU law references for specific provision |
216
+ | `validate_eu_compliance` | Check implementation status of EU directives |
217
+
218
+ ---
219
+
220
+ ## Why This Works
221
+
222
+ **Verbatim Source Text (No LLM Processing):**
223
+ - All statute text is ingested from official Indian government sources
224
+ - Provisions are returned **unchanged** from SQLite FTS5 database rows
225
+ - Zero LLM summarization or paraphrasing -- the database contains regulation text, not AI interpretations
226
+
227
+ **Smart Context Management:**
228
+ - Search returns ranked provisions with BM25 scoring (safe for context)
229
+ - Provision retrieval gives exact text by statute identifier + chapter/section
230
+ - Cross-references help navigate without loading everything at once
231
+
232
+ **Technical Architecture:**
233
+ ```
234
+ Official Sources --> Parse --> SQLite --> FTS5 snippet() --> MCP response
235
+ ^ ^
236
+ Provision parser Verbatim database query
237
+ ```
238
+
239
+ ### Traditional Research vs. This MCP
240
+
241
+ | Traditional Approach | This MCP Server |
242
+ |---------------------|-----------------|
243
+ | Search official databases by statute number | Search by plain language |
244
+ | Navigate multi-chapter statutes manually | Get the exact provision with context |
245
+ | Manual cross-referencing between laws | `build_legal_stance` aggregates across sources |
246
+ | "Is this statute still in force?" --> check manually | `check_currency` tool --> answer in seconds |
247
+ | Find EU basis --> dig through EUR-Lex | `get_eu_basis` --> linked EU directives instantly |
248
+ | No API, no integration | MCP protocol --> AI-native |
249
+
250
+ ---
251
+
252
+ ## Data Sources & Freshness
253
+
254
+ All content is sourced from authoritative Indian legal databases:
255
+
256
+ - **[India Code](https://www.indiacode.nic.in)** -- Official Indian government legal database
257
+
258
+ **Verified data only** -- every citation is validated against official sources. Zero LLM-generated content.
259

279
+ ## Important Disclaimers
280
+
281
+ ### Legal Advice
282
+
283
+ > **THIS TOOL IS NOT LEGAL ADVICE**
284
+ >
285
+ > Statute text is sourced from official Indian government publications. However:
286
+ > - This is a **research tool**, not a substitute for professional legal counsel
287
+ > - **Court case coverage is limited** -- do not rely solely on this for case law research
288
+ > - **Verify critical citations** against primary sources for court filings
289
+ > - **EU cross-references** are extracted from statute text, not EUR-Lex full text
290
+
291
+ **Before using professionally, read:** [DISCLAIMER.md](DISCLAIMER.md) | [SECURITY.md](SECURITY.md)
292
+
293
+ ### Client Confidentiality
294
+
295
+ Queries go through the Claude API. For privileged or confidential matters, use on-premise deployment.
