`ky_statute`

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

Get the FULL TEXT of a section of the Kentucky Revised Statutes (KRS) — Kentucky state law — by citation. “507.020” is murder; “383.580” is the landlord security-deposit statute. Accepts natural forms: “507.020”, “KRS 507.020”, ”§ 507.020”. Returns the current statutory text, the catchline, the “Effective:” date, and the legislative “History:” (the Acts that enacted and amended it). Kentucky publishes the CURRENT text only — a prior (pre-amendment) version’s text is not available online, only its existence; this tool says so rather than guessing. Keyless. Use for “what does KRS 507.020 say” or to check a Kentucky statute a case or contract relies on.

Parameters

Name	Type	Required	Description
`citation`	string	yes	Section citation, e.g. “507.020” (murder) or “383.580” (security deposits). Chapter and section separated by a dot; some chapters carry a letter suffix (e.g. “507A.020”).
