Overview

Description from the maker (original English)

MCP server for Australia's Federal Register of Legislation: search and cite Commonwealth Acts.

PopNx MCP’s three pillars

These three are never merged into one score: opinions, measurements and popularity are different things.

What you can do with it

We have not written a plain-language summary for this one yet. Below are the facts we read from the registry.

  • Connection: Runs on your computer
  • Transport: stdio
  • Category: Law & government data

Install

Pick the AI app you use, then copy the settings.

Before you install

  • Basic checks: 1 of 1 passed
  • Runs on your computer with your user’s permissions (files, network, apps).
  • The registry lists no key to fill in.

You need

  • PyPIPython’s uv installed (for the uvx command)

Which app do you use?

Pick your app above. We remember it, so next time the button says “Install in …”.

Open Claude Desktop → Settings → Developer → Edit Config, and paste this into claude_desktop_config.json

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "au-eli": {
      "command": "uvx",
      "args": [
        "au-eli-mcp"
      ]
    }
  }
}

Run this in your terminal

claude mcp add au-eli -- uvx au-eli-mcp

Open in Cursor

Or copy the settings yourself

Paste into .cursor/mcp.json in your project, or ~/.cursor/mcp.json

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "au-eli": {
      "command": "uvx",
      "args": [
        "au-eli-mcp"
      ]
    }
  }
}

Your browser asks to open the app, then the app shows the settings and asks you to confirm. Key values are left empty for you to fill in.

Open in VS Code

Or copy the settings yourself

Paste into .vscode/mcp.json in your project

{
  "servers": {
    "au-eli": {
      "type": "stdio",
      "command": "uvx",
      "args": [
        "au-eli-mcp"
      ]
    }
  }
}

Your browser asks to open the app, then the app shows the settings and asks you to confirm. Key values are left empty for you to fill in.

This one runs on your computer, and ChatGPT can only connect to servers on the internet. Pick another app.

Common questions

Is Au Eli MCP safe?

It passed 1 of 1 applicable basic checks. We have not read the code. Before adding a key or token, see what access the server asks for and use a key with only the permissions you need.

What keys or codes does it need?

The registry does not list a required key, though some servers ask you to sign in on first use.

Does it run on my computer or in the cloud?

It runs on your computer. Your AI app starts it when needed, and data does not pass through the maker’s servers (unless it calls an online service itself).

Is it still maintained?

The GitHub repo last changed –, and the latest version (0.3.3) reached the registry 2 months ago.

Which apps can use it?

Apps that support MCP, such as Claude Desktop, Claude Code, Cursor and VS Code. You also need Python (uv) on your computer.

What can I use instead?

au-eli-mcp

An MCP server for Australia's Federal Register of Legislation (legislation.gov.au), the official source of Commonwealth legislation. It searches, fetches, and cites Acts, with a verifiable citation on every response.

Part of the MateMatic eu-legal-mcp production line, extended into Asia-Pacific alongside jp-eli-mcp, sg-eli-mcp and my-eli-mcp. Same citation contract (a stable identifier + a human-readable citation + a source URL), adapted for a jurisdiction with no ELI.

Scope. This MVP covers Acts only (collection(act)); regulations and other legislative

instrument types are not yet covered. Discovery is by title (au_search_acts); fetch the

current consolidated text with au_get_text (truncated for very large Acts). Every response

carries a dataset_note.

Licence. Federal Register of Legislation content is official public information

published by the Australian government. This connector relays it with attribution and a

source_url.

The tools

ToolWhat it does
au_search_actsSearch Commonwealth Acts by (partial) title.
au_get_textThe current consolidated text of an Act (truncated at ~300,000 characters).
au_coverageDeclare what this connector covers, when each family was captured, and - explicitly - what it does NOT cover. Every gap carries a fallback.

Every response carries the contract: eli_uri (Australia has no ELI - this is the durable legislation.gov.au URL keyed on the document's own FRLI identifier, e.g. https://www.legislation.gov.au/C2004A00042/latest, see eli_note), human_readable_citation (the Act title), and source_url.

Install

Not yet on PyPI - install from source until the first release ships:

git clone https://github.com/matematicsolutions/au-eli-mcp

cd au-eli-mcp pip install -e .

Once released, this will be uvx au-eli-mcp.

Configuration via env:

  • AU_ELI_BASE_URL - default https://www.legislation.gov.au
  • AU_ELI_CACHE_DIR - default ~/.matematic/cache/au-eli
  • AU_ELI_AUDIT_DIR - default ~/.matematic/audit

No API key. legislation.gov.au is keyless.

Configure (Claude Code / any MCP client)
{

"mcpServers": { "au-eli-mcp": { "command": "au-eli-mcp" } } }

Windows 11 with Smart App Control

Smart App Control blocks unsigned executables, which covers uvx.exe, pip.exe and the au-eli-mcp.exe launcher that pip writes at install time. The python.exe and py.exe from the python.org installer are signed by the Python Software Foundation, so running the module through the interpreter works:

python -m pip install au-eli-mcp

python -m au_eli_mcp

pip.exe is blocked for the same reason, so install with python -m pip, not pip install. If python is not on PATH, use the Windows launcher: py -3 -m au_eli_mcp.

{ "mcpServers": { "au-eli-mcp": { "command": "python", "args": ["-m", "au_eli_mcp"] } } }

Do not turn Smart App Control off to work around this - it cannot be re-enabled without reinstalling Windows.

Governance

  • Public data only - read-only against legislation.gov.au; no client data leaves the machine.
  • Robots-compliant - robots.txt allows crawling (only /assets/ is disallowed); this connector caches aggressively rather than hitting the site repeatedly.
  • Audit log - every tool call appends one JSON line to ~/.matematic/audit/au-eli-mcp.jsonl.
  • Vendor-neutral - talks only to legislation.gov.au; no LLM provider, no telemetry.
  • Verifiable citations - every response is independently checkable via source_url.

See CONSTITUTION.md and DISCOVERY.md.
