Ghostlex Legal Ai: Indian Law Research Engine

GhostLex MCP Server 🇮🇳⚖️

GhostLex Research Systems as a Model Context Protocol (MCP) Server. This exposes our core Indian legal AI capabilities to any MCP-compatible environment (Claude Desktop, Cursor, Antigravity Editor, ChatGPT, etc.).

🚀 What It Does

This server provides 5 tools and 1 resource for deep legal research on the newly enacted BNS/BNSS/BSA (Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita, etc.):

1. analyze_legal_query — Deep legal research with full statutory mapping and landmark Supreme Court citations.
2. search_vault — Search locally cached research to save API credits.
3. list_vault_entries — View all past research currently in the vault.
4. generate_word_report — Full pipeline: Research → Format to GhostLex_Analysis_*.docx → Save.
5. get_case_summary — Quick 200-word summary on any Indian legal topic.

Resource:

• ghostlex://vault — Exposes the entire JSON case vault as readable context for the AI.

🛠️ Setup & Installation

1. Prerequisites

Ensure you have Python 3.10+ installed.

2. Install Dependencies

cd "the ghost engine"
pip install -r requirements.txt

3. API Key

You must set your Google AI Studio API key as an environment variable before running the server or connecting to it.

• Windows: set GOOGLE_API_KEY="your_api_key_here"
• Mac/Linux: export GOOGLE_API_KEY="your_api_key_here"

🔌 Connecting to Claude Desktop / Antigravity

Add the following to your MCP configuration file (mcp_config.json or claude_desktop_config.json):

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "ghostlex-legal-ai": {
      "command": "python",
      "args": [
        "C:/path/to/the ghost engine/ghostlex_mcp_server.py"
      ],
      "env": {

}

(Make sure to change the path to where your ghostlex_mcp_server.py file actually lives!)

🧪 Testing Locally (MCP Inspector)

You can run the interactive MCP inspector to test all tools directly in your browser:

set GOOGLE_API_KEY="AIzaSy..." # your key
mcp dev ghostlex_mcp_server.py

This will open a web UI where you can click "Call Tool" and verify everything works.
