## Trust breakdown

How this component scores in each security and reliability category. Every signal is checked automatically from public evidence about the published package, including repeated runs of it in an isolated sandbox, 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)

- **Tool Safety**: 100/100
  - No prompt-injection markers were found in the server instructions, tool names or descriptions we captured.
  - We read all 2 captured tool definition(s), and no name or description among them implies an irreversible operation.
  - An AI judge read all 3 captured unit(s) of tool text and found none that tries to manipulate the model reading it.

## Changelog

Every change recorded for this component, newest first. Days that predate change tracking, or that we cannot explain, say so: "we were watching and nothing happened" and "we were not watching" are different claims.

### 2026-11-05 (score 82, +1)

No change was recorded against any check on this day. Stability & Change Management went from 20 to 23. That category is still filling its 30-day observation window: 6 days of observed history at the previous scan, 7 at this one. The score rises as the window fills, whether or not the server changes.

## MCP tools (2)

### `il_compiled_statute` (~279 tokens)

Get the FULL TEXT of a section of the Illinois Compiled Statutes — Illinois state law — by citation. "720 ILCS 5/9-1" is first degree murder; "625 ILCS 5/11-501" is DUI. Pass the full citation as `citation` ("225 ILCS 155/30") or split it into `chapter`/`act`/`section`. Returns the statutory text with a data_as_of timestamp. Keyless. Use for "what does 720 ILCS 5/9-1 say" or to check an Illinois statute a case relies on.

Input parameters:

- `act` (string): Act number within the chapter — the part after ILCS and before the slash, e.g. "5". Omit if passing `citation`.
- `chapter` (string): ILCS chapter, e.g. "720" (criminal offenses), "625" (vehicles), "750" (families). Omit if passing `citation`.
- `citation` (string): The full citation in one string, e.g. "225 ILCS 155/30". Alternative to chapter/act/section — either works.
- `section` (string): Section as cited, e.g. "9-1" or "11-501". Omit if passing `citation`.

### `il_statute_search` (~282 tokens)

Search Illinois Compiled Statutes BY TOPIC or keyword rather than citation — "currency exchange license fee", "concealed carry reciprocity", "landlord retaliation". Returns ranked sections with their citations; use il_compiled_statute afterward for the full text of one. Pass `chapter` + `act` (e.g. "225" + "155" for 225 ILCS 155) to scope the search to one act's own sections instead of ranking across all ~72,000 — use this when you already know which act the answer is in, so a term that is common across many acts still finds the right section. Full-text search, so it answers questions no citation lookup can. Keyless.

Input parameters:

- `act` (string): Optional: act number within `chapter` to scope the search, e.g. "155" for 225 ILCS 155. Only that act's sections are searched.
- `chapter` (string): Optional: ILCS chapter to scope the search to one act (pair with `act`), e.g. "225".
- `limit` (number): Max results, default 10, max 25.
- `query` (string, required): Topic or keywords, e.g. "currency exchange license fee". Can also name an act directly, e.g. "225 ILCS 155 civil penalty".

## Common questions

### What is the Illinois Code MCP server?

Illinois Code is an MCP server listed in the public MCP registry as io.github.pipeworx-io/illinois-code. Illinois Compiled Statutes, state statutes by citation, plus topic search. This page covers its npm package (@pipeworx/mcp-illinois-code).

### Is the Illinois Code MCP server safe to use?

Illinois Code scores 82 out of 100 on VerifyMCP. We found no known CVEs affecting it as of 5 November 2026. It declares no install or post-install scripts. Its build provenance is signed and verified. 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 Illinois Code MCP server expose?

Illinois Code exposes 2 tools: il_compiled_statute, il_statute_search. Their descriptions and schemas cost roughly 561 tokens of context every time the server is loaded.

### Is the Illinois Code MCP server still maintained?

Illinois 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.

### What licence is the Illinois Code MCP server under?

Illinois Code declares the MIT licence, which is OSI-approved. That covers the source only, and says nothing about the cost of any service it calls.

### What did VerifyMCP test on the Illinois Code MCP server?

VerifyMCP ran 16 checks on Illinois Code, covering Malware scan, Known CVEs, Install scripts, Dependency health and 12 more. Endpoint Security and Transport & Reachability do not apply to an npm package, so they were not tested. The score does not measure everything, and the scoring documentation lists what it leaves out.
