FAQ

Is there an MCP server for Indian court cases?

Yes. eCourtsIndia runs a hosted MCP server at https://mcp.ecourtsindia.com/mcp that covers the Supreme Court, every High Court, 600+ district courts and 18 tribunals, with orders, cause lists and the statute book.

How do I check Indian case status from ChatGPT or Claude?

Add https://mcp.ecourtsindia.com/mcp as a custom connector, sign in, and ask for the case by CNR number, party name, advocate or case number. The assistant calls get_case_details or search_cases and can refresh the record live from the court.

Does it cover the new criminal laws (BNS, BNSS, BSA)?

Yes. lookup_provision returns the text of any BNS, BNSS or BSA section, and map_provision maps IPC, CrPC and Evidence Act sections to their new equivalents.

Is it official?

No. eCourtsIndia is a non-government initiative that organises public court records. It is not affiliated with any court or government body.

Is it free?

Signup is free with ₹200 of credits, and the statute book and court-structure tools are always free. Case search, orders and refreshes use prepaid credits.
