`al_search`

Pack: alabama-code · Connect: https://pipeworx.io/mcp (see Connect below for a single-pack URL)

No MCP client? Call it directly: GET https://gateway.pipeworx.io/v1/tools/al_search for the schema, then POST the same URL with its arguments for the data.

Search the Code of Alabama 1975 BY TOPIC or keyword rather than citation — “landlord security deposit”, “concealed pistol permit”, “homicide”. This is a REAL FULL-TEXT search over actual section body text (not just captions) run live against the Alabama Legislature’s own search index — confirmed to surface sections whose title never mentions the search term. Returns matching citations, titles and a text snippet; call al_statute with a citation for the full text. Keyless.

Parameters

Name	Type	Required	Description
`query`	string	yes	Topic or keywords, e.g. “landlord security deposit”.
`limit`	number	no	Max results to return, default 10, max 25.
