Replace the values in angle brackets with your own. Keys stay on your machine; we never see them.

Tools

This server asks for a key before it lists its tools. Connect it with your own key to see them.

Headers

NameDescription
Authorization
Optional, secret
Optional. Only for self-hosted deployments that set MCP_AUTH_TOKEN. The public hosted endpoint at canlii-mcp.vaquill.ai does not use it, so leave this blank. Format: 'Bearer <token>'.
X-CanLII-Token
Required, secret
Your CanLII API key. Apply for one at https://www.canlii.org/en/feedback/feedback.html. Header-less clients can instead append ?token=<key> to the endpoint URL. The server never stores your key.
