MCP launches legal oracle for AI agents to ensure honest refusals

MCP has launched a legal oracle service designed for AI agents, providing machine-readable legal provisions across multiple jurisdictions including the US, India, Russia, UK, Canada, and Hong Kong. The service offers three API endpoints to look up provisions, verify citations, and crucially, to return an honest refusal when a provision does not exist, preventing AI agents from fabricating legal information. MCP's oracle is available with a free tier of 120 calls per hour, with paid options at $0.05 USDC per call on the Base network. AI

IMPACT Provides AI agents with a reliable way to access and verify legal information, preventing misinformation and ensuring compliance.
