Frequently asked questions
How do I get an OpenLaws API key and what authentication method is used?
Visit openlaws.us/api and click Get API Access to register. Once approved, you'll receive a Bearer token. Include it in the Authorization header as Authorization: Bearer YOUR_TOKEN. The API uses standard Bearer token authentication for all v1 endpoints at https://api.openlaws.us/api/v1/.
Can I search statutes across all 50 states simultaneously?
Yes! Use the search_statutes tool without specifying a jurisdiction parameter to search all 53 jurisdictions (50 states + DC + Puerto Rico + federal) at once. This is perfect for 50-state surveys. Alternatively, scope your search to a specific jurisdiction by providing its ID (e.g., 'ca' for California, 'ny' for New York, 'us' for federal).
How does citation validation work and what formats are supported?
Use the validate_citation tool with any standard legal citation format. The API will identify the original government source, validate the citation accuracy, and flag malformed citations. It supports Bluebook format (e.g., '42 U.S.C. § 1983', '347 U.S. 483 (Brown v. Board)'), state citations for all 50 states, DC, and Puerto Rico. This is ideal for validating citations in legal documents, spreadsheets, and databases.
What legal data sources does OpenLaws cover?
OpenLaws covers ~4.3 million tracked sections across 53 jurisdictions with 100% federal statutes and regulations coverage. Data includes: United States Code (USC), Code of Federal Regulations (CFR), all 50 state statutes and regulations, DC and Puerto Rico laws, ~5-6 million case opinions (from Harvard CAP and CourtListener), US Constitution and all 50 state constitutions, and legislative history for federal laws.
How does Google ADK connect to MCP servers?
Import the MCP toolset class and pass the server URL. ADK discovers and registers all tools automatically, making them available to your agent's tool-use loop.
Can ADK agents use multiple MCP servers?
Yes. Declare multiple MCP tool providers in your agent configuration. ADK merges all tool schemas and the agent can call tools from any server in a single turn.
Which Gemini models work best with MCP tools?
Gemini 2.0 Flash and Pro models both support function calling required for MCP tools. Flash is recommended for latency-sensitive use cases, Pro for complex reasoning.
