legal-research

legal-research is an MCP server for Claude Code from rohasnagpal/legal-ai-skills. Its token cost is not measured, scanned A, a copy of legal-research, MIT.

A Model Context Protocol (MCP) server that connects the assistant to legal research through the Regulations.gov API. It requires a `REGULATIONS_GOV_API_KEY` environment variable.

In plain words
What is it for?
Supporting research into US federal regulations and related official material available through Regulations.gov.
Why use it?
It gives the legal research setup a defined connection to an official government source instead of relying only on general model knowledge.

MCP server for Claude Code

Written for Claude Code: ${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT} variable. Also seen: listed in a Claude config.

Runs only inside a plugin — its command needs a path that Claude Code sets for a plugin’s own hooks and for nothing else, and the catalogue could not identify which plugin ships it.

One of 7 entries in .mcp.json upstream. Installing this one merges just its entry into your config; the other 6 are separate, each on its own page.

Installing this writes the configuration, not the program: `node` runs a file from the repository, so clone it first and make the path in the command match where you put it.

Security

Grade A, and why

legal-research scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 7d ago.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

Origin

This is a copy

100% identical to legal-research — 0 lines differ, which has more behind it and is treated as the original. This page carries a canonical link to it rather than competing with it.

Changes

What this file has done since we first saw it

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.
