Headers
| Name | Description |
|---|---|
AuthorizationOptional, 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-TokenRequired, 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. |
