Sg Eli MCP server

sg-eli-mcp

<!-- mcp-name: io.github.matematicsolutions/sg-eli-mcp -->

An MCP server for Singapore Statutes Online (SSO, sso.agc.gov.sg), the Attorney-General's Chambers' official portal for Singapore legislation. It browses, fetches, and cites Acts, with a verifiable citation on every response.

Part of the MateMatic eu-legal-mcp production line, extended into Asia alongside jp-eli-mcp. Same citation contract (a stable identifier + a human-readable citation + a source URL), adapted for a jurisdiction with no ELI and no public search API.

Scope. SSO's robots.txt disallows /search; discovery here is by browsing the current

Acts listing (sglistacts, paginated), not by title or keyword query. Fetch a specific

section (sggetprovision) or the full text (sggetfull_text, truncated for very large

Acts). Every response carries a dataset_note.

Licence. SSO legislation is official public information published by the Singapore

government. This connector relays it with attribution and a source_url, respects

robots.txt (no /search calls), and does not cache more aggressively than a normal browser

visit would.

The tools

Every response carries the contract: eliuri (Singapore has no ELI - this is the durable SSO act URL, e.g. https://sso.agc.gov.sg/Act/CoA1967, see elinote), humanreadablecitation (the Act title as SSO itself renders it, e.g. Companies Act 1967), and source_url.

Install

Not yet on PyPI - install from source until the first release ships:

git clone https://github.com/matematicsolutions/sg-eli-mcp
cd sg-eli-mcp
pip install -e .

Once released, this will be uvx sg-eli-mcp.

Configuration via env:

• SGELIBASE_URL - default https://sso.agc.gov.sg
• SGELICACHE_DIR - default ~/.matematic/cache/sg-eli
• SGELIAUDIT_DIR - default ~/.matematic/audit

No API key. SSO is keyless.

Configure (Claude Code / any MCP client)

  "mcpServers": {
    "sg-eli-mcp": { "command": "sg-eli-mcp" }
  }
}

Windows 11 with Smart App Control

Smart App Control blocks unsigned executables, which covers uvx.exe, pip.exe and the sg-eli-mcp.exe launcher that pip writes at install time. The python.exe and py.exe from the python.org installer are signed by the Python Software Foundation, so running the module through the interpreter works:

python -m pip install sg-eli-mcp
python -m sg_eli_mcp

pip.exe is blocked for the same reason, so install with python -m pip, not pip install. If python is not on PATH, use the Windows launcher: py -3 -m sgelimcp.

{ "mcpServers": { "sg-eli-mcp": { "command": "python", "args": ["-m", "sg_eli_mcp"] } } }

Do not turn Smart App Control off to work around this - it cannot be re-enabled without reinstalling Windows.

Governance

uses only the allowed /Browse listing.

• Public data only - read-only against SSO; no client data leaves the machine.
• Robots-compliant - never calls /search (disallowed by SSO's robots.txt); discovery

• Audit log - every tool call appends one JSON line to ~/.matematic/audit/sg-eli-mcp.jsonl.
• Vendor-neutral - talks only to sso.agc.gov.sg; no LLM provider, no telemetry.
• Verifiable citations - every response is independently checkable via source_url.
