Which app do you use?

ClaudeClaude CodeCursorVS CodeChatGPT

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

Run this in your terminal

claude mcp add us-eli -- uvx us-eli-mcp

Open in Cursor

Or copy the settings yourself

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

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "us-eli": {
      "command": "uvx",
      "args": [
        "us-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": {

Common questions

Is Us 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 (0.5.3) 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.

us-eli-mcp

MCP server for US law with verifiable citations. Five sources behind ten read-only tools:

Congress.gov API - the federal legislative *process*: bills as they move through committees and floor votes.
GovInfo API - enacted law text as published packages: US Code, Statutes at Large, CFR annual editions, Federal Register issues.
Federal Register API - full-text search over 1,003,504 FR documents (1994-2026, live-verified 2026-07-07), including 8,513 presidential documents (1,550 executive orders). Keyless.
CourtListener search API - full-text search over 8,294,123 court opinions (live-verified 2026-07-07). The headline value is STATE case law (California, New York, Texas, ...), which no federal source covers. Keyless, ~5 requests/min anonymous.
eCFR API - the CURRENT Code of Federal Regulations: section-level full-text search over 412,846 sections plus per-section amendment history. Keyless.

What this is not

State legislation (all 50 states) - see LegiScan, a free-tier aggregator (30,000 queries/month) not wrapped here.
A federal case-law workhorse - for heavy federal case-law research the mature MIT-licensed wrappers (blakeox/courtlistener-mcp, john-walkoe/courtlistener_citations_mcp) remain the recommendation; the case-law tools here exist primarily for state courts. See SOURCES.md.

Tools

Tool	Purpose
`us_search_bills`	List bills by congress (e.g. `118`) and type (`hr`, `s`, `hres`, ...)
`us_get_bill`	Full detail + latest action for one bill
`us_list_code_packages`	List GovInfo packages in a collection (`USCODE`, `CFR`, `FR`, `STATUTE`)
`us_get_code_package`	Metadata + download links (PDF/XML/TXT) for one package
`us_search_federal_register`	Full-text search over FR documents; filter rules, notices, executive orders
`us_get_federal_register_doc`	One FR document with its official citation (e.g. `91 FR 41591`)
`us_search_case_law`	Full-text search over 8M+ opinions; `court` filter (e.g. `cal`, `ny`, `scotus`)
`us_get_case`	One opinion cluster by `cluster_id`
`us_search_cfr_sections`	Full-text search over the current CFR (eCFR)
`us_get_cfr_section_history`	Amendment history of one CFR section (e.g. 15 CFR 744.3)
`us_coverage`	Declare what this connector covers, when each family was captured, and - explicitly - what it does NOT cover. Every gap carries a fallback.

Every response carries lex_uri (a resolvable API URL), human_readable_citation (the official convention: "H.R. 1, 118th Congress", "91 FR 41591", "People v. Miranda-Guerrero, 519 P.3d 1004 (California Supreme Court 2022)", "15 CFR § 744.3") and source_url (the public page). Reporter citations are taken verbatim from the source and never fabricated; when none exists the docket number is used instead.

Install

As a Claude plugin (Claude Code or the desktop app, needs uv); see plugin/README.md for what it sends and stores:

/plugin marketplace add matematicsolutions/us-eli-mcp

/plugin install us-eli-mcp@us-eli-mcp

As a standalone server:

pip install us-eli-mcp

Windows 11 with Smart App Control

Smart App Control blocks unsigned executables, which covers uvx.exe, pip.exe and the us-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 us-eli-mcp

python -m us_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 us_eli_mcp.

{ "mcpServers": { "us-eli-mcp": { "command": "python", "args": ["-m", "us_eli_mcp"] } } }

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

Configuration

Env var	Default
`US_ELI_API_KEY`	`DEMO_KEY` (shared, low rate limit - get your own free key at api.congress.gov/sign-up)
`US_ELI_GOVINFO_API_KEY`	reuses `US_ELI_API_KEY` (same api.data.gov key family)
`US_ELI_CACHE_DIR`	`~/.matematic/cache/us-eli`
`US_ELI_AUDIT_DIR`	`~/.matematic/audit`
`US_ELI_BASE_URL`	`https://api.congress.gov/v3`
`US_ELI_GOVINFO_BASE_URL`	`https://api.govinfo.gov`
`US_ELI_FR_BASE_URL`	`https://www.federalregister.gov/api/v1` (keyless)
`US_ELI_COURTLISTENER_BASE_URL`	`https://www.courtlistener.com/api/rest/v4` (keyless)
`US_ELI_ECFR_BASE_URL`	`https://www.ecfr.gov/api` (keyless)

The Federal Register, CourtListener and eCFR tools need no key at all.

Network: the server talks to the five sources above and the local filesystem. Once, on first use, it also fetches a small configuration file (us-runtime.json.gz, updated source addresses) from this repository's GitHub Releases. That request carries no query content; GitHub's download counter for the file is the only usage signal we see. US_ELI_RUNTIME_URL="" turns it off; the Claude plugin ships with it off. No LLM provider, no other telemetry.
