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

Fetch the text of one section of an Indian act from India Code. Pass the act title (or act_id) and the section number, e.g. act “Indian Contract Act, 1872”, section “73”. For the repealed Indian Penal Code (e.g. “Section 302 IPC”) it returns the current Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita successor section (IPC 302 -> BNS 103) with the text, clearly marked as the successor, for a curated list of well-known offences.
