{
  "mcpServers": {
    "changkeunj-australian-law-mcp": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": [
        "-y",
        "australian-law-mcp"
      ]
    }
  }

Security posture

What to check before giving this server access to your agent - from the registry, GitHub, and our own probes. We don't score safety; we show what's verifiable.

runs as local process (stdio) - runs on your machine with your user's permissions

repo age created 2026-08-20 - young repo, little track record yet

license MIT - declared in the repository

npm package australian-law-mcp - unscoped; check the name against the project README before installing

registry namespace io.github.ChangkeunJ is GitHub-verified and matches the repo owner

Capability map

Tools grouped from the project's README - what Australian Law MCP lets an agent do.

read & search

5 tools - e.g. Find acts and instruments by name. Returns the title ids the other tools take.; The current compilation: the table of provisions, one section, or the full text paginated. Schedules are addressable too…

search_law · get_law_text · get_law_as_at · get_amendment_status · search_full_text

Verify

1 tool - e.g. 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

verify_citations

Compare

1 tool - e.g. What changed between two dates: sections added, removed, reworded - or a line diff of one section.

compare_versions

Check

1 tool - e.g. Ping the register API so failures elsewhere can be attributed.

check_frl_health
