MCP server for Massachusetts public law — the Massachusetts General Laws (MGL) and the Commonwealth's rules of court. Semantic search over statute and rule text plus exact citation lookup, returning ready-to-cite source links. Public law only (no case law). Backed by a hosted Chroma Cloud vector database.

AI security review

Audited · 2026.07model: claude-sonnet-5

This server exposes three narrowly scoped tools for Massachusetts statutes and court rules, and each tool's description matches its implementation with no hidden capabilities. User queries are embedded via a Cloudflare Workers AI call and then matched against vectors in the operator's own Chroma Cloud database, both of which are declared in the egress allowlist. Credentials (CHROMA_API_KEY, CF_API_TOKEN) are read from environment or a local .env file and used only to authenticate to those two declared hosts, never forwarded elsewhere. No other network destinations appear in runtime code, and no injected instructions or suspicious payloads were found in tool metadata.

Tool surface

`ma_search_statutes`	Search the Massachusetts General Laws (MGL) by topic or citation.
`ma_get_statute`	Fetch the full text of one MGL section by its citation.
`ma_search_court_rules`	Search Massachusetts rules of court (Probate & Family, civil, criminal, etc.).

Declared network destinations: api.trychroma.com, api.cloudflare.com. Checked against the source during review.

Add to your MCP client

This is a remote MCP server over HTTP. Point any client that supports remote servers at the endpoint below and send your MCP Commons key as a bearer token.

Endpoint	`https://run.mcpcommons.com/ma-law/mcp`
Auth header	`Authorization: Bearer <your-api-key>`

claude mcp add --transport http ma-law https://run.mcpcommons.com/ma-law/mcp --header "Authorization: Bearer <your-api-key>"

Run this in your terminal. Claude Code speaks remote HTTP MCP directly.

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "ma-law": {
      "url": "https://run.mcpcommons.com/ma-law/mcp",
      "headers": {
        "Authorization": "Bearer <your-api-key>"
      }
    }
  }
}

Add to ~/.cursor/mcp.json (global) or .cursor/mcp.json in a project, then reload Cursor.

{
  "servers": {
    "ma-law": {
      "type": "http",
      "url": "https://run.mcpcommons.com/ma-law/mcp",
      "headers": {
        "Authorization": "Bearer <your-api-key>"
      }
    }
  }
}

Add to .vscode/mcp.json in your workspace. VS Code uses the servers key with type: "http".

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "ma-law": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": [
        "-y",
        "mcp-remote",
        "https://run.mcpcommons.com/ma-law/mcp",
        "--header",
        "Authorization:${AUTH_HEADER}"
      ],
      "env": {
        "AUTH_HEADER": "Bearer <your-api-key>"
      }
    }
  }
}

Claude Desktop's config only supports local (stdio) servers, so this bridges to the hosted endpoint with mcp-remote. Needs Node.js installed. Restart Claude Desktop after saving. It works the same whether the server is written in TypeScript or Python.

Create a key in your dashboard, claim or subscribe to this listing, then paste your key in place of <your-api-key>.
