One endpoint, two tools

Add primary law
to your AI workflow.

PH Legal MCP is a safe retrieval layer for MCP-capable clients. It exposes published material only—never ingestion, Admin, OCR, private records, or mutation operations.

  1. 01

    Generate your MCP API key

    Create one device-linked key below, then copy it while the full value is visible.

  2. 02

    Add the PH Legal endpoint

    Choose a remote or Streamable HTTP MCP server in your client and use the URL shown here.

  3. 03

    Send the bearer key

    Add Authorization: Bearer YOUR_KEY to the MCP server configuration.

  4. 04

    Ask, inspect, verify

    Search first, fetch the needed paragraphs, then follow the official source before relying on the result.

MCP TOOLS

Deliberately narrow

Search broadly.
Fetch precisely.

The authenticated MCP contract is intentionally limited. Search returns identifiers, safe snippets, paragraph references, metadata, and provenance. Fetch returns a bounded selection of one immutable published document.

Tool contract

Find published Philippine legal materials

Search by natural-language issue, doctrine, phrase, party, docket number, law number, or fact pattern.

WORKFLOWS

Context where work happens

Research without
breaking your flow.

Use PH Legal as a retrieval component inside the tools your team already works in. It supplies source-grounded context; the researcher remains responsible for legal judgment and verification.

01 / COUNSEL

Draft with authorities in view

Find cases and statutory text while preparing advice, pleadings, or an internal opinion. Fetch exact passages before incorporating a proposition.

  • Issue and fact-pattern search
  • Paragraph-level support
  • Official-source follow-through
02 / RESEARCH

Build an evidence trail

Locate a leading authority, inspect its metadata, then retrieve only the passages needed for deeper review or a research log.

  • Stable document IDs
  • Docket and law-number lookup
  • Explicit source provenance
03 / LEGAL OPS

Ground repeatable workflows

Add controlled Philippine legal retrieval to internal assistants and review processes without exposing PH Legal’s operational systems.

  • Authenticated read-only contract
  • Two predictable tools
  • No private corpus access
Important boundary

PH Legal MCP retrieves published material. It does not provide legal advice, determine whether a case remains good law, perform subsequent-treatment analysis, or replace independent professional review.

SOURCE SYSTEM

Source to evidence

Grounded by design,
not by promise.

The MCP surface consumes a controlled projection of approved material. The research path is designed to remain traceable from a tool result back to an identified passage and source.

01

Collect

Preserve official or approved-source material, revision metadata, and checksums.

02

Normalize

Assign stable document, paragraph, and chunk identifiers to extracted legal text.

03

Enrich

Add controlled taxonomy and evidence-linked machine-generated digests where supported.

04

Publish

Expose only approved, current records through controlled public projections.

05

Retrieve

Serve exact, lexical, semantic, vector, or hybrid retrieval as index support allows.

Initial coverage

Philippine primary law

  • Supreme Court decisions and signed resolutions
  • Republic Acts
  • The 1987 Constitution
  • Current Rules of Court
  • Selected executive issuances
