ca-eli-mcp
MCP server for Canadian federal legislation via the Justice Laws Website (laws-lois.justice.gc.ca), the Department of Justice Canada's official source for consolidated Acts and regulations. Bilingual (English/French).
What this is not
- No free-text search - the Justice Laws Website has no search API of
its own. This connector is by-code only (the same limitation as
ie-eli-mcpfor Ireland): you need to already know the code (e.g."C-46"for the Criminal Code) or a short title to look one up. - Federal only - provincial and territorial legislation is out of scope.
- No case law - CanLII's terms of service forbid bulk redistribution and its content API requires a per-identity key, which breaks the zero-cloud pattern this connector otherwise follows. Not attempted here.
