Endpoint Security63
Transport & Reachability100
Schema Quality & AI Usability61
  • AI-judged instruction clarity (good).Pass
  • Context-footprint check failed: tool/resource definitions use about 3489 tokens (~134/item across 26 items; 26 tools + 0 resources), over budget; trim descriptions and params. See how to fix → Fail
  • Usage-examples check failed: none of the tools include examples. See how to fix → Fail
Stability & Change Management33
  • Stability observed for 10 of 30 days with no destabilising changes; credit accrues until the full window elapses.Partial
Tool Coverage71
  • 100% of tools have a non-trivial description (not blank, and not just the tool's name).Pass
  • 0% of tool parameters carry a description.Fail
  • Structured output schemas are declared (100% of tools); any adoption earns full credit.Pass
Tool Safety100
  • No prompt-injection markers were found in the server instructions, tool names or descriptions we captured.Pass
  • We read all 26 captured tool definition(s), and no name or description among them implies an irreversible operation.Pass
  • An AI judge read all 27 captured unit(s) of tool text and found none that tries to manipulate the model reading it.Pass

MCP tools · 26 exposed · ~2,442 tokens

The tools this component advertises to a client, with an estimated token cost for each. Expand a tool to see its parameters and schema. The per-tool counts are indicative and are not scored directly; the schema's total context footprint is one signal in Schema Quality & AI Usability. A tool's description is untrusted text the model reads on every call, which is what makes this list a security surface and not just an inventory: how tool poisoning works →

Tool Tokens
case_get ~78

One Indiana opinion cluster by CourtListener cluster id. Includes opinion text only when the extract has a body. Includes author when that index is loaded: the slip byline, not the trial judge and not a holding. version_signal is a caution (yellow / red / year banner), never a green certified mark.

NameTypeReqDescription
cluster_idstringyes–

Structured output declared, but exposes no named fields.

No examples provided.

case_search ~320

Search Indiana Supreme Court, Court of Appeals, and Tax Court clusters from a CourtListener extract. court is ind, indctapp, or indtc. form is memorandum or opinion when decision forms are indexed (text classification, not official status). disposition is affirmed, reversed, remanded, vacated, dismissed, mixed, or unlabeled when that index is loaded. A single label also matches a mixed closing that includes it. The label is a rule read of the closing line, not an official judgment. standard is de_novo, abuse_of_discretion, clearly_erroneous, sufficiency, prima_facie_error, substantial_evidence, or arbitrary_or_capricious when that index is loaded. Plain words such as 'de novo' are accepted. A standard is a rule read of a sentence that states it, not a ruling on which standard governs. separate is concurs, dissents, concurs_in_part, dissents_in_part, concurs_in_result, transfer_dissent, or joins when that index is loaded. That label is the slip's own "with separate opinion" vote line, not a holding. author is the slip byline name, or per_curiam, when that index is loaded. Most hits are metadata only.

case_transcription_search ~123

Search reviewed historical reports and scanned-opinion derivatives, separate from primary opinion bodies.

Each result identifies its derivative type and retains source provenance, source notices and date limitations. These are not official verbatim judicial text or citator results; citation eligibility is not evaluated. case_get includes labeled components.

Install

How do I install the Indiana Code MCP server?

Indiana Code is a hosted endpoint at https://mcp.openindianalaw.org/mcp, so there is nothing to install locally. Ready-made configuration for Claude, Cursor, VS Code, Codex and 5 more is on this page, copied from each client's own documentation.

Common questions

What is the Indiana Code MCP server?

Indiana Code is an MCP server listed in the public MCP registry as org.openindianalaw/indiana-code. Search unofficial Indiana Code, IGA companions, and appellate cases. Not legal advice. This page covers its hosted endpoint (https://mcp.openindianalaw.org/mcp).

Is the Indiana Code MCP server safe to use?

Indiana Code scores 66 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 Indiana Code MCP server expose?

Indiana Code exposes 26 tools: corpus_manifest, ic_search, ic_resolve_citation, ic_get_section, ic_get_versions, and 21 more. Their descriptions and schemas cost roughly 2,442 tokens of context every time the server is loaded.

Does the Indiana Code MCP server require authentication?

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

Is the Indiana Code MCP server still maintained?

Indiana Code is still listed as active in the MCP registry. We last reached this channel on 5 November 2026. Those dates come from our own scans of the registry and the channel itself, not from anything the publisher announced.
