my-eli-mcp is an MCP server for Malaysia’s federal principal Acts, retrieving metadata and PDF text from the Attorney General’s Chambers portal. Each response includes a verifiable citation and source link; amendments and subsidiary legislation are outside its scope.
Key features
- 01Retrieve act metadata by number
- 02Extract full text from official PDFs
- 03Report coverage and documented gaps
- 04Include verifiable citations and source links
Use cases
- 01Look up a Malaysian principal Act by number
- 02Retrieve act text and verify its source
- 03Check the server’s coverage and exclusions
MCP support
It exposes tools for act metadata, full text, and coverage to MCP clients. Responses include a stable act-page URL, a human-readable citation, and a source URL.

Details
From the project READMEmy-eli-mcp
An MCP server for Laws of Malaysia Online (lom.agc.gov.my), the Attorney-General's
Chambers' official portal for Malaysian federal legislation. It fetches and cites principal
Acts, with a verifiable citation on every response.
Part of the MateMatic eu-legal-mcp production line, extended into Asia alongside jp-eli-mcp
and sg-eli-mcp. Same citation contract (a stable identifier + a human-readable citation + a
source URL), adapted for a jurisdiction with no ELI, no confirmed search API, and a source that
publishes only PDF.
Scope. This MVP covers principal Acts only, addressed by their numeric act coordinate (e.g.
883). No free-text search API was found on this portal during discovery; amendments and subsidiary legislation (P.U. (A)/(B) notices) are not yet covered. Every response carries adataset_note.Licence. lom.agc.gov.my legislation is official public information published by the Attorney-General's Chambers of Malaysia. This connector relays it with attribution and a
source_url.
The tools
| Tool | What it does |
|---|---|
my_get_act | Metadata for a principal Act by its numeric act coordinate. |
my_get_text | The full text of an Act, extracted from the official PDF. |
my_coverage | Declare what this connector covers, when each family was captured, and - explicitly - what it does NOT cover. Every gap carries a fallback. |
Every response carries the contract: eli_uri (Malaysia has no ELI - this is the durable
lom.agc.gov.my act page URL, e.g. https://lom.agc.gov.my/act-detail.php?language=BI&act=883,
see eli_note), human_readable_citation (derived from the official PDF's own filename, since
the portal carries no separate title metadata), and source_url.
Install
Not yet on PyPI - install from source until the first release ships:
git clone https://github.com/matematicsolutions/my-eli-mcp
cd my-eli-mcp
pip install -e .
Once released, this will be uvx my-eli-mcp.
Configuration via env:
MY_ELI_BASE_URL- defaulthttps://lom.agc.gov.myMY_ELI_CACHE_DIR- default~/.matematic/cache/my-eliMY_ELI_AUDIT_DIR- default~/.matematic/audit
No API key. lom.agc.gov.my is keyless.

Windows 11 with Smart App Control
Smart App Control blocks unsigned executables, which covers uvx.exe, pip.exe
and the my-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 my-eli-mcp
python -m my_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 my_eli_mcp.
{ "mcpServers": { "my-eli-mcp": { "command": "python", "args": ["-m", "my_eli_mcp"] } } }
Do not turn Smart App Control off to work around this - it cannot be re-enabled without reinstalling Windows.
Governance
- Public data only - read-only against lom.agc.gov.my; no client data leaves the machine.
- Audit log - every tool call appends one JSON line to
~/.matematic/audit/my-eli-mcp.jsonl. - Vendor-neutral - talks only to
lom.agc.gov.my; no LLM provider, no telemetry. - Verifiable citations - every response is independently checkable via
source_url.
See CONSTITUTION.md and DISCOVERY.md.
Tests
pip install -e ".[dev]"
pytest tests/test_instructions_drift.py -v # offline
pytest tests/test_smoke.py -v # hits live lom.agc.gov.my

From what the protocol is to installing your first server, these answers cover most first questions.
An open protocol that defines how AI applications connect to external tools and data in a uniform way. Clients talk to the model; MCP servers provide tools, resources and prompt templates. They exchange standard messages, so one server can be reused by many clients.
