`al_statute`

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_statute for the schema, then POST the same URL with its arguments for the data.

Get the FULL TEXT of a section of the Code of Alabama 1975 — Alabama state law — by citation. “13A-6-2” is murder; “35-9A-204” covers a landlord’s duty to maintain the premises. Accepts natural forms: “13A-6-2”, “Ala. Code 13A-6-2”, ”§ 13A-6-2”. Returns the current statutory text, section title, the Legislature’s own amendment-history citation list (amendment_history), and — when an Act has already been enacted but is not yet in force — a forward-looking pending_version with its future effective date. Alabama publishes CURRENT text only going backward, so a pre-amendment (historical) version of the text is not available; this tool says so rather than guessing. Keyless. Use for “what does Ala. Code 13A-6-2 say” or to check an Alabama statute a case or lease relies on.

Parameters

Name	Type	Required	Description
`citation`	string	yes	Section citation, title-chapter-section, e.g. “13A-6-2” (murder) or “35-9A-204” (landlord duty to maintain premises). Titles can carry a letter, e.g. “13A”.
