Collected from public GitHub. Every version is saved exactly as it was and never changes. Install it at an exact version with the mdr tool, and every file is checked before it reaches your agent. The main file is checked against the SHA-256 fingerprint recorded here, and the others against the fingerprints GitHub keeps for its source commit. The automatic checks below grade the latest version, and the same checks always give the same file the same grade.
What the file says
# Immigration Case-Law Research (bundled MCP servers) > **NOT LEGAL ADVICE.** This skill retrieves and organizes legal sources as a research and > drafting aid; it does not evaluate whether an authority is good law on the user's facts and > does not create an attorney-client relationship. Immigration consequences are severe and > often irreversible — pair research with review by a licensed immigration attorney or > EOIR-accredited representative. ## Purpose This plugin snapshots the **rules** (INA, 8 CFR, 22 CFR, FAM) verbatim, but **case law is on-demand** — [`../../references/legal-data-apis.md`](../../references/legal-data-apis.md) indexes the sources, and the plugin bundles two free remote MCP servers (declared in [`../../.mcp.json`](../../.mcp.json)) to serve that layer. **Never cite a case from memory** — every cited authority must be retrieved and read before it enters a draft. ## Forum-aware routing | Authority | Where to get it | |---|---| …

How to install
mdr add codearranger/claude-legal/immigration-case-law@sha256:a3578f9f861a6bf2The line at the top of this page pins the label v0.1.1, which is what most people want. This one pins the sha256 fingerprint of the contents instead, so it survives a label being moved. Either way the exact version is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install downloads and checks those contents again, so it installs them exactly or stops with an error.
