What is the BCLaws API MCP Server?
Empower your AI agent to orchestrate your entire legal research and legislative auditing workflow with BCLaws API, the authoritative source for British Columbia statutes and regulations. By connecting BCLaws to your agent, you transform complex legal lookups into a natural conversation. Your agent can instantly search for specific laws, audit statute details, and retrieve consolidated regulations without you ever touching a manual database. Whether you are conducting legal due diligence or monitoring regulatory changes, your agent acts as a real-time legislative assistant, ensuring your data is always grounded in official, government-verified records.

Frequently asked questions
Is an API Key required for BCLaws API?
No. BCLaws API is a public and free service provided by the Queen's Printer for British Columbia. This server works without static credentials.
What types of laws are included?
The database includes public statutes, regulations, and private acts for the province of British Columbia, Canada.
Is consolidated legislation available?
Yes. Use the list_consolidated_laws tool to access the current consolidated versions of statutes and regulations.
What is Agent mode and why does it matter for MCP?
Agent mode is Cursor's autonomous execution mode where the AI can perform multi-step tasks: reading files, editing code, running terminal commands, and calling MCP tools. Without Agent mode, Cursor operates in a simpler ask-and-answer mode that doesn't support tool calling. Always ensure you're in Agent mode when working with MCP servers.
Where does Cursor store MCP configuration?
Cursor looks for MCP server configurations in a mcp.json file. You can configure servers at the project level (.cursor/mcp.json in your project root) or globally (~/.cursor/mcp.json). Project-level configs take precedence.
Can Cursor use MCP tools in inline edits?
No. MCP tools are only available in Agent mode through the chat panel. Inline completions and Tab suggestions do not trigger MCP tool calls. This is by design. tool calls require user visibility and approval.
How do I verify MCP tools are loaded?
Open Settings → Features → MCP and look for your server name. A green indicator means the server is connected. You can also check Agent mode's available tools by clicking the tools dropdown in the chat panel.
Tools not appearing in Cursor
Ensure you are in Agent mode (not Ask mode). MCP tools only work in Agent mode.
Server shows as disconnected
Check Settings → Features → MCP and verify the server status. Try clicking the refresh button.
