usc_section

Pack: us-code · Endpoint: https://gateway.pipeworx.io/us-code/mcp

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
