## Trust breakdown

How this component scores in each security and reliability category. Every signal is checked automatically against the live server, and we only credit what we can confirm. Scores are 0–100 per category. Scoring method: https://verifymcp.io/docs/scoring (what has changed: https://verifymcp.io/docs/scoring/changelog)

Scored 2026-09-24.

- **Endpoint Security**: 80/100
  - The endpoint's TLS certificate is valid, in date, and uses a strong key.
  - No authorisation is required to call this server. Every tool declares its destructiveHint and none is destructive, so open access doesn't expose one.
  - HTTPS is enforced; there's no plaintext access path.
  - The HSTS (Strict-Transport-Security) header is present.
  - DNSSEC check failed: this domain isn't protected by DNSSEC.
- **Transport & Reachability**: 100/100
  - Verified streamable-http transport via a live MCP handshake.
- **Schema Quality & AI Usability**: 69/100
  - AI-judged instruction clarity (good).
  - Context-footprint check failed: tool/resource definitions use about 3391 tokens (~147/item across 23 items; 23 tools + 0 resources), over budget; trim descriptions and params.
  - Usage-examples check failed: none of the tools include examples.
- **Stability & Change Management**: 57/100
  - Stability observed for 17 of 30 days with no destabilising changes; credit accrues until the full window elapses.
- **Tool Coverage**: 71/100
  - 100% of tools have a non-trivial description (not blank, and not just the tool's name).
  - 0% of tool parameters carry a description.
  - Structured output schemas are declared (13% of tools); any adoption earns full credit.
- **Tool Safety**: 100/100
  - No prompt-injection markers were found in the server instructions, tool names or descriptions we captured.
  - We read all 23 captured tool definition(s), and no name or description among them implies an irreversible operation.
  - An AI judge read all 24 captured unit(s) of tool text and found none that tries to manipulate the model reading it.
- **Capabilities**: 100/100
  - Implements a supported MCP spec version (2025-11-25); the latest is 2026-07-28.

## MCP tools (23)

### `describe_site` (~42 tokens)

Call first. What Georgia Commons holds, which collections this server has loaded, the id and URL grammar, which tool to call next, and the independence statement. Cheap.

### `get_coverage` (~36 tokens)

Exactly what is loaded, computed from the stores now: coverage sentences, corpus versions, counts, sessions, years, dates, licenses.

### `search` (~99 tokens)

Search every loaded collection (or one, with `collection` = code, bills, or opinions) and return up to ten results as {id, title, url}. A Code or constitution citation, bill number, or docket in the query comes first. Search matches the words of the document. Ask in the words the document would use, not the words of the question. Follow with fetch(id).

Input parameters:

- `collection`
- `query` (string, required)

Output parameters:

- `results` (array)

### `fetch` (~146 tokens)

The full document for an id from search (code:44-7-34, ga-const:art-i-sec-i-para-i, bill:2025-2026/hb136, opinion:S26A0060): the same Markdown twin the site serves at url plus .md (frontmatter, verbatim text, any summaries under a heading that names them), with url the canonical page for citation and metadata from the frontmatter. `full` adds the optional material, or for the Code and constitutions the first 60,000-character page of the notes, whose frontmatter names the next page.

Input parameters:

- `full` (boolean)
- `id` (string, required)

Output parameters:

- `id` (string)
- `metadata` (object)
- `text` (string)
- `title` (string)
- `url` (string)

### `verify_quote` (~72 tokens)

Whether a quote appears verbatim in the stored text of a document (after normalizing quotes, dashes, whitespace, and [T]he-style alterations, as the ingestion filter does). Deterministic; use it before relying on a quotation.

Input parameters:

- `id` (string, required)
- `quote` (string, required)

Output parameters:

- `chars` (integer)
- `id` (string)
- `occurrences` (integer)
- `source_field`
- `url` (string)
- `verified` (boolean)

### `opinions_lookup` (~171 tokens)

One Supreme Court of Georgia opinion by docket in any case (S23A0421), reporter citation (317 Ga. 528, 883 S.E.2d 746), record id (a CourtListener cluster id, or ga- and the docket for a record read from the court's own website), or case name, as the same Markdown twin the site serves: frontmatter (cite_as, canonical_url, source_url, record_source, date, status), the verbatim opinion, then the summaries Georgia Commons wrote under a heading that says so. When several opinions share a docket this is the most recent and the frontmatter lists the others. `full` adds the summarized reasoning, checked quotes, and the upstream opinion records.

Input parameters:

- `full` (boolean)
- `opinion` (string, required)

### `opinions_get_text` (~63 tokens)

The stored text of an opinion alone, windowed by `start` and `max_chars` (default 60,000), with a pointer to continue.

Input parameters:

- `max_chars` (integer)
- `opinion` (string, required)
- `start` (integer)

### `opinions_list` (~104 tokens)

The opinions filed in a year (the newest year when omitted), in filing order, 25 a page: `docket, date, case name, case type, URL`. Filter by `case_type` (criminal appeal, civil, bar discipline, habeas, certified question, election, other) or words `q`.

Input parameters:

- `case_type`
- `limit` (integer)
- `q`
- `start` (integer)
- `year`

### `opinions_search` (~101 tokens)

Full-text search over opinion text, case names, and the labeled summaries. A bare docket or citation is a direct lookup. Search matches the words of the document: ask in the words the court would use. `in_headings` searches only case names, legal areas, and case types.

Input parameters:

- `case_type`
- `in_headings` (boolean)
- `limit` (integer)
- `query` (string, required)
- `year`

### `bills_lookup` (~163 tokens)

One bill or resolution of the Georgia General Assembly by number in any written form (HB 136, H.B. 136, House Bill 136, 2025-2026/hb136, a LegiScan id), as the same Markdown twin the site serves: frontmatter (cite_as, canonical_url, source_url, status), the verbatim text, the summaries Georgia Commons wrote under a heading that says so, and status. With no `session`, a number means the newest regular session that has it; name the session (2026-special) for a special session's bill that shares its number. `full` adds history, votes, and amendments.

Input parameters:

- `bill` (string, required)
- `full` (boolean)
- `session`

### `bills_get_text` (~68 tokens)

- `kind`
- `limit` (integer)
- `q`
- `session`
- `start` (integer)
- `status`
- `subject`

### `bills_search` (~91 tokens)

Full-text search over bill text, titles, and the labeled summaries. A bare bill number is a direct lookup. Search matches the words of the document: ask in the words the bill would use. `in_headings` searches only titles, topic tags, and subjects.

Input parameters:

- `in_headings` (boolean)
- `limit` (integer)
- `query` (string, required)

### `code_describe_structure` (~52 tokens)

Call first for the Code. The citation grammar, how to find a section without its citation, how versions and statuses work, what is and is not in the text, and the list of titles. Cheap.

### `code_lookup_section` (~139 tokens)

One Code section by citation in any written form (44-7-34, 'O.C.G.A. § 44-7-34', 'Title 44, Chapter 7, Section 34'), as the same Markdown twin the site serves: frontmatter (cite_as, canonical_url, source_url, status, version), the verbatim text, then the notes capped. `version` picks a printed version by its qualifier; `subsection` ('a', 'a-1') renders one part. A 404 names the neighboring sections.

Input parameters:

- `citation` (string, required)
- `subsection`
- `version`

### `code_lookup_sections` (~83 tokens)

Several sections at once: a list ('44-7-30, 44-7-31 and 44-7-34') or a range ('44-7-30 through 44-7-35'), up to 40 sections under a 150,000-character cap, with a trailer naming anything not rendered.

Input parameters:

- `citations` (string, required)

### `code_browse` (~53 tokens)

The hierarchy: the titles (no argument), a title's chapters ('36'), or a chapter's sections ('36-60'), one line each with counts, citation spans, and twin URLs.

Input parameters:

- `node`

### `code_get_chapter` (~93 tokens)

Every section of a chapter with its text, in order, windowed by max_sections (default 40) and max_chars (default 100,000); the output ends with a pointer to continue or 'End of chapter.'

Input parameters:

- `chapter` (string, required)
- `max_chars` (integer)
- `max_sections` (integer)
- `start` (integer)
- `title` (integer, required)

### `code_search` (~170 tokens)

Full-text search of the Code: words, or a citation, or both. A citation among words returns that section first; a query that names an act returns the section stating its short title first; a query that is a passage of a provision word for word returns that provision first. Search matches the words of the document: ask in the words the statute would use. `in_headings` searches only headings and catchlines and adds the matching units. `scheme` picks the collection: `ocga` (default), `ga` for the Georgia constitution, `us` for the United States constitution.

Input parameters:

- `chapter`
- `in_headings` (boolean)
- `limit` (integer)
- `query` (string, required)
- `scheme` (string)
- `title`

### `code_find_chapter` (~53 tokens)

Input parameters:

- `words` (string, required)

### `code_find_act` (~46 tokens)

Laws by the short title the statute states ('Joshua's Law', 'Georgia Lemonade Stand Act'): the citing section and the unit the name covers.

One provision of the Georgia ('ga') or United States ('us') constitution as printed in the O.C.G.A., by citation ('Art. I, Sec. I, Para. I', 'Amend. XIV', 'Preamble') or slug, as its Markdown twin with the case annotations capped.

Input parameters:

- `citation` (string, required)
- `scheme` (string, required)

### `constitution_browse` (~48 tokens)

The articles and sections of a constitution ('ga' or 'us'), or one article's provisions, one line each with twin URLs.

## Common questions

### What is the Georgia Commons MCP server?

Georgia Commons is an MCP server listed in the public MCP registry as org.georgiacommons/georgia-commons. Georgia's Code, bills, and Supreme Court opinions as source text. Independent, not the State. This page covers its hosted endpoint (https://mcp.georgiacommons.org/mcp).

### Is the Georgia Commons MCP server safe to use?

Georgia Commons scores 78 out of 100 on VerifyMCP. That is a record of what we were able to check automatically, not an endorsement. The category breakdown on this page shows every signal behind the number, including the ones we could not confirm.

### What tools does the Georgia Commons MCP server expose?

Georgia Commons exposes 23 tools: describe_site, get_coverage, search, fetch, verify_quote, and 18 more. Their descriptions and schemas cost roughly 2,108 tokens of context every time the server is loaded.

### Does the Georgia Commons MCP server require authentication?

No. We connected to Georgia Commons without credentials and it answered, so anything it exposes is reachable by anyone who knows the address.

### Is the Georgia Commons MCP server still maintained?

Georgia Commons is still listed as active in the MCP registry. We last reached this channel on 24 September 2026. Those dates come from our own scans of the registry and the channel itself, not from anything the publisher announced.
