About Connecticut Code

An MCP server for people looking up Connecticut statutes by citation. It resolves the required chapter from the state’s published title index rather than relying on a fixed mapping that may become outdated.

Key features

  1. 01Look up statutes by citation
  2. 02Resolve chapters using the official title index
  3. 03No API key required

Use cases

  1. 01Find a statute from its citation
  2. 02Check a statute’s location after chapter renumbering

MCP support

As an MCP server, it exposes a Connecticut statute lookup tool and can be used through the Pipeworx gateway or locally over stdio.

Configuration

Remote servers need no local install. Pick your client, then copy the config or install in one click.

Run commands in a terminal; paste JSON into the client’s MCP config and restart. Servers that need sign-in will prompt on first connect.

Details

From the project README

Connecticut statutes by citation

Keyless.

Part of Pipeworx — an MCP gateway connecting AI agents to 1875+ live data sources. This is an independent, unofficial integration — not affiliated with, endorsed by, or published by the upstream provider.

Resolved, not guessed

The URL needs a chapter the citation does not carry. Rather than bake a mapping table that would rot, the chapter is read from Connecticut's own published title index (one extra request), so the answer stays correct when the state renumbers.

Data source

Official state legislature site. Connecticut statutes are public record.

Quick Start

Add to your MCP client (Claude Desktop, Cursor, Windsurf, etc.):

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "connecticut-code": {
      "url": "https://gateway.pipeworx.io/connecticut-code/mcp"
    }
  }
}
What this endpoint actually serves

tools/list at https://gateway.pipeworx.io/connecticut-code/mcp returns the tools in the table above plus the shared Pipeworx meta-tools — ask_pipeworx, discover_tools, search_within, remember/recall and the rest of the gateway-wide set. So the tool count you see is larger than this table: a single-pack endpoint currently lists roughly 30 shared tools alongside the pack's own. The connection's initialize response states its exact scope, and is the authoritative answer for a given day.

This is deliberate, not multiplexing by accident. The meta-tools are what let a scoped connection answer a question this pack does not cover — via ask_pipeworx, which routes across the whole catalog — without you adding a second MCP server. There is currently no way to mount a pack endpoint without them; if the extra schemas cost you more context than the routing is worth, connect to the full gateway once rather than to several pack endpoints.

Or connect to the full Pipeworx gateway to get every pack's tools listed directly, instead of just this one's:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "pipeworx": {
      "url": "https://gateway.pipeworx.io/mcp"
    }
  }
}

Both URLs reach the same gateway and the same 1875+ data sources. The only difference is which pack's tools are listed directly; ask_pipeworx reaches all of them from either one.

No MCP client? Call it over HTTP

curl -X POST https://gateway.pipeworx.io/v1/tools/ct_general_statute \
  -H 'Content-Type: application/json' \
  -d '{"section":"53a-54a"}'

No account needed for the first calls. Inspect any tool: GET https://gateway.pipeworx.io/v1/tools/ct_general_statute. Find one: POST https://gateway.pipeworx.io/v1/tools/search_packs with {"query":"..."}.

Standalone (no gateway account)

This package also runs as a local stdio MCP server — no Pipeworx account, no gateway round-trip:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "connecticut-code": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": ["-y", "@pipeworx/mcp-connecticut-code"]
    }
  }
}

Or run it directly to confirm it starts:

npx -y @pipeworx/mcp-connecticut-code

It speaks MCP over stdin/stdout and answers initialize/tools/list/tools/call for only this pack's tools — none of the shared meta-tools the gateway connection above adds. Same source, same tools, no ask_pipeworx routing.

Using with ask_pipeworx

Instead of calling tools directly, you can ask questions in plain English — this works on the pack endpoint above as well as on the full gateway:

ask_pipeworx({ question: "your question about Connecticut Code data" })

The gateway picks the right tool and fills the arguments automatically.

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.
