`usc_section`

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

Get the FULL TEXT of a section of the United States Code — federal statutes — by citation. “18 U.S.C. 1343” is title 18, section 1343. Returns the statutory text, its title and chapter, and the edition it came from. Keyless. Use for “what does the wire fraud statute say”, “what is the text of 42 USC 1983”, or to check what a statute a case relies on actually provides.

Parameters

Name	Type	Required	Description
`title`	string	yes	US Code title number, 1-54. E.g. “18” for crimes, “26” for tax, “42” for public health and welfare.
`section`	string	yes	Section number as cited, e.g. “1343” or “1983”. Subsections like “1343(a)” are not separate documents — pass the section.
