Documentation

australian-law-mcp

MCP server for the Federal Register of Legislation. Ask what Australian law said on any date, and check citations against the official register before you rely on them. No API key, nothing to sign up for.

Everything is served live from the Commonwealth's own legislation API: 130,000+ acts and legislative instruments, every compilation of each one, back to 1901. That register is the authorised source of Commonwealth law, and it publishes point-in-time versions natively — so returns the text that was actually in force on the date you name, not a reconstruction.

tool	what it does
`search_law`	Find acts and instruments by name. Returns the title ids the other tools take.
`get_law_text`	The current compilation: the table of provisions, one section, or the full text paginated. Schedules are addressable too (`section="Schedule 7"`), which is where rate tables and forms actually live.
`get_law_as_at`	The same, but as the law stood on any past date.
`verify_citations`	Pull statute citations out of text and check each against the register: does the act exist, is it in force, does the cited section exist. Upstream failures come back as UNVERIFIED, never as a missing law.
`get_amendment_status`	In force or repealed, what the latest compilation incorporates, whether commenced amendments are still unincorporated, and what has amended it.
`compare_versions`	What changed between two dates: sections added, removed, reworded — or a line diff of one section.
`search_full_text`	Relevance-ranked search over the body text of every title on the register.
`check_frl_health`	Ping the register API so failures elsewhere can be attributed.
