# Devnors Data MCP Server
[简体中文](README.zh-CN.md) | English
Use Devnors Data in MCP clients such as Codex, Claude Desktop, Cursor, WorkBuddy,
and other AI assistant tools.
Devnors Data MCP helps your assistant discover available capabilities, inspect
required parameters, and call legal / enterprise / content / research / express
APIs with your Devnors Data API Key.
## Supported Clients
You can use Devnors Data MCP with any MCP-compatible client that supports remote
HTTP or local stdio servers, including:
- Codex
- Claude Desktop
- Cursor
- WorkBuddy
- Other MCP-compatible AI assistants
For Codex, add Devnors Data as a remote MCP server and use the Remote HTTP URL
and Authorization header below.
## Quick Start
### Remote HTTP
Remote HTTP is the recommended way to use Devnors Data MCP. No local Python
install is required.
```json
{
"mcpServers": {
"devnors-data": {
"url": "https://data.devnors.com/mcp",
"headers": {
"Authorization": "Bearer devnors_sk_live_xxx"
}
}
}
}
```
Create an API Key in the
[developer console](https://data.devnors.com/console).
### Local stdio
You can also run the MCP server locally after `pip install devnors-mcp`.
```json
{
"mcpServers": {
"devnors-data": {
"command": "python",
"args": ["-m", "devnors_mcp.server"],
"env": {
"DEVNORS_API_KEY": "devnors_sk_live_xxx"
}
}
}
}
```
On Windows, client PATH often cannot find `devnors-mcp`. Prefer the `python -m`
form above, or set `command` to an absolute Python path.
## Token
Use your Devnors Data API Key in one of these ways:
```text
Authorization: Bearer devnors_sk_live_xxx
```
or, for local stdio:
```text
DEVNORS_API_KEY=devnors_sk_live_xxx
```
`Bearer …` is the recommended Authorization format.
Optional private / self-hosted base URL for local stdio:
```text
DEVNORS_DATA_BASE_URL=https://data.devnors.com
```
## Things You Can Ask
Ask your MCP client naturally:
```text
List available Devnors Data capabilities and required filters.
```
More examples:
```text
Search Chinese legal judgment documents for private lending interest disputes.
```
```text
Look up current PRC law articles about contract termination.
```
```text
Get company registration details for this credit code.
```
```text
Check whether this company is on the dishonest judgment debtor list.
```
```text
Suggest related keywords for "lawyer" on Baidu.
```
```text
Track this express parcel with company code and tracking number.
```
```text
Search academic papers titled Attention Is All You Need.
```
```text
Find scholars named Andrew Ng and open the top profile detail.
```
```text
The API returned insufficient_balance. What should I do next?
```
```text
The API returned rate_limited. Help me retry safely.
```
The assistant can call `list_capabilities` first, explain required parameters,
invoke the selected tool after you provide values, and help interpret common
error codes.

## Billing and Errors
Successful calls return `units` and `request_id`. Failures return structured
fields so the agent can self-correct:
| `code` | Meaning | `retryable` |
|---|---|---|
| `unauthorized` | Missing / invalid key | no |
| `insufficient_balance` | Need top-up at https://data.devnors.com/console/recharge | no |
| `rate_limited` | Rate limited | yes |
| `invalid_capability` | Bad domain/type | no |
| `not_implemented` | Planned capability | no |
| `unavailable` / `upstream_error` | Temporary failure | yes |
Retryable `429` / `5xx` errors are retried by the underlying Python SDK with
bounded backoff. The MCP layer does not stack extra retries.
