Readme
nyc-charter-laws-rules
The single place to access, process, and query New York City's three primary legal documents:
- The New York City Charter
- The New York City Administrative Code
- The Rules of the City of New York
This repo includes:
- A MCP (Model Context Protocol) server so AI assistants can query the documents directly
- Scripts to fetch and parse the latest bulk XML from American Legal Publishing
- A committed JSON index (
data/index/json/) for machine use - A committed Markdown index (
data/index/markdown/) for human browsing — readable directly on GitHub
Clone the repo and everything is ready to use. No setup required to browse or query the current index. Run npm run fetch-data && npm run build-index only when you want to refresh from AML.
Vibe coded with Claude by BetaNYC.
What's changed: new tools, corrections and other changes a reader would notice, newest first. Daily law text updates are in CHANGELOG.md.
