`ky_search`

Pack: kentucky-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/ky_search for the schema, then POST the same URL with its arguments for the data.

Search the Kentucky Revised Statutes BY TOPIC or keyword rather than citation — “security deposit”, “concealed carry”, “DUI per se limit”, “homicide”. Real full-text search over the statutory body text, not just catchlines: a query like “landlord” surfaces KRS 383.580 (“Security deposits”) even though that catchline contains neither word. Returns matching citations and catchlines; call ky_statute with a citation for the full text. Keyless.

Parameters

Name	Type	Required	Description
`query`	string	yes	Topic or keywords, e.g. “security deposit return”.
`limit`	number	no	Max results to return, default 10, max 50.
