Vaquill

vaquill-ai/vaquill-mcp

Connects Claude to Vaquill's legal research API covering US federal and state law (USC, CFR, CourtListener cases) plus 31 million Indian judgments and 23,000 acts. You get semantic search across statutes, boolean keyword search for case law, citation resolution in multiple formats (SCC, AIR, MANU), and citation graph traversal to see which cases cite or overrule others. The ask_legal_question tool runs AI-powered Q&A in standard or deep mode. Supports both streamable HTTP for Claude.ai and local installation via uvx. Requires a Vaquill API key and consumes credits per call. Reach for this when you need programmatic access to primary legal sources or want to trace precedent chains in Indian case law.
