\n\n---\n\n## Tools\n\nSeven tools covering EU legal research — document discovery, content retrieval, citation resolution, case law, relationship graph traversal, EuroVoc thesaurus lookup, and raw SPARQL access:\n\n| Tool | Description |\n|:-----|:------------|\n| `eurlex_search_documents` | Search EU legislation, treaties, and preparatory acts across the CELLAR corpus. Filters by document type, date range, EuroVoc concept, author institution, and in-force status. |\n| `eurlex_get_document` | Fetch structured metadata and full text (HTML or Formex4 XML) for a work by CELEX number or ELI URI. |\n| `eurlex_lookup_celex` | Resolve any EU legal citation — CELEX number, ELI URI, or Official Journal reference — to the canonical CELLAR work. |\n| `eurlex_get_cases` | Search CJEU and General Court case law — judgments, orders, and Advocate General opinions — by case number, party name, subject, or date range. |\n| `eurlex_get_relations` | Traverse the CELLAR relationship graph: amendment chain, consolidated versions, legal basis, citation network, and national transposition measures. |\n| `eurlex_browse_subjects` | Search the EuroVoc multilingual thesaurus to resolve human-readable terms to EuroVoc concept IDs — required before using the `eurovoc_concept` filter in `eurlex_search_documents`. |\n| `eurlex_query_sparql` | Execute a raw SPARQL SELECT query against the CELLAR Virtuoso endpoint. Results capped at 100; use only when curated tools don't cover the needed CDM ontology traversal. |\n\n### `eurlex_search_documents`\n\nSearch EU legislation, treaties, preparatory acts, and more across the 2.7M+ work CELLAR corpus.\n\n- Keyword search across work titles and CELEX string patterns\n- Filter by document type (`REG`, `DIR`, `DEC`, `TREATY`, and more)\n- Date range filtering (`date_from`, `date_to`)\n- EuroVoc concept filtering — use `eurlex_browse_subjects` first to resolve concept IDs\n- Filter to in-force acts only\n- Pagination via `offset` and configurable `limit` (max 100)\n- Returns CELEX numbers, work URIs, document types, and dates for chaining into `eurlex_get_document`\n\n---\n\n### `eurlex_get_document`\n\nFetch the notice and full text of an EU legal act.\n\n- Accepts CELEX numbers (e.g., `32016R0679`) or ELI URIs\n- Returns structured metadata: title, date, document type, author institution, legal basis, EuroVoc subjects, in-force flag\n- Full text in HTML (default) or Formex4 XML\n- Supports all 24 official EU languages; defaults to English with automatic fallback when a translation is unavailable\n- Older acts and some CJEU judgments may lack English translations\n\n---\n\n### `eurlex_lookup_celex`\n\nResolve EU legal identifiers to canonical CELLAR works.\n\n- Accepts CELEX numbers, ELI URIs, and Official Journal references\n- Auto-detects format with `identifier_type: \"auto\"` (default); set explicitly when auto-detection fails\n- Returns work URI, confirmed CELEX number, document type, and date — the prerequisite step before `eurlex_get_document` or `eurlex_get_relations`\n\n---\n\n### `eurlex_get_cases`\n\nSearch CJEU and General Court case law.\n\n- Case-specific search: case number, keyword, court (`CJEU` or `GC`), and case type (`judgment`, `order`, `ag_opinion`)\n- Date range filtering\n- Returns case identifier, court, date, document type, and parties\n- Distinct from `eurlex_search_documents` — case law (CELEX sector 6) has its own search parameters and practitioner workflows\n\n---\n\n### `eurlex_get_relations`\n\nTraverse the CELLAR relationship graph for a given work.\n\n- Amendment chain (what amends it, what it amends)\n- Consolidated versions (the current in-force text)\n- Legal basis\n- Citation network (`cdm:work_cites_work` in both directions)\n- National transposition measures\n- Filter to specific relation types or retrieve all at once\n- Returns one-hop relations; multi-hop traversal requires multiple calls or `eurlex_query_sparql`\n\n---\n\n### `eurlex_browse_subjects`\n\nResolve human-readable terms to EuroVoc concept IDs.\n\n- Full-text search across the multilingual EuroVoc thesaurus\n- Returns concept URI, preferred label, concept code, and broader/narrower hierarchy hints\n- Supports all EU official languages; defaults to English\n- Required before using the `eurovoc_concept` filter in `eurlex_search_documents`\n\n---\n\n## Resources and prompts\n\n| Type | Name | Description |\n|:-----|:-----|:------------|\n| Resource | `eurlex://document/{celexNumber}` | Metadata snapshot for a CELLAR work — type, date, title, author institution, in-force flag |\n| Resource | `eurlex://document/{celexNumber}/relations` | Relationship summary for a work: amendment chain, consolidations, legal basis, cited-by count |\n| Prompt | `eurlex_comparative_analysis` | Frames a comparative legal analysis across EU and US law for a given policy domain |\n\nAll resource data is also reachable via tools. Resources provide stable-URI injectable context for agents that support MCP resources.\n\n---\n\n## Features\n\nBuilt on [`@cyanheads/mcp-ts-core`](https://www.npmjs.com/package/@cyanheads/mcp-ts-core):\n\n- Declarative tool, resource, and prompt definitions — single file per primitive, framework handles registration and validation\n- Unified error handling — handlers throw, framework catches, classifies, and formats\n- Pluggable auth: `none`, `jwt`, `oauth`\n- Swappable storage backends: `in-memory`, `filesystem`, `Supabase`, `Cloudflare KV/R2/D1`\n- Structured logging with optional OpenTelemetry tracing\n- STDIO and Streamable HTTP transports\n\nEUR-Lex-specific:\n\n- No API key required — both CELLAR SPARQL and EUR-Lex REST content endpoints are publicly accessible\n- `CellarSparqlService` POSTs `application/x-www-form-urlencoded` SPARQL with CDM prefix declarations built in; server-side LIMIT enforcement (max 100) prevents Virtuoso timeout abuse\n- `EurLexContentService` fetches full HTML or Formex4 XML via the canonical `legal-content/{LANG}/TXT/` URL pattern (CELLAR work URIs return 400 on direct GET — this avoids that)\n- Virtuoso error classification: HTTP 200 with `Virtuoso 37000 Error` body is parsed and re-raised as `ServiceUnavailable` (transient/timeout) or `InvalidParams` (syntax error)\n- Language fallback on document fetch: if the requested language is unavailable, retries with English; returns metadata-only with a note when English also fails\n- Typed error contracts on every tool — structured `reason` codes let agents branch on outcomes without parsing text\n\nAgent-friendly output:\n\n- EuroVoc prerequisite guidance in server-level instructions — agents are directed to `eurlex_browse_subjects` before attempting concept-filtered searches\n- `eurlex_lookup_celex` surfaces CELEX confirmation and work existence upfront, preventing downstream errors in document or relation fetches\n- Typed `unavailable` reasons and `language_unavailable` signals let agents retry or explain to users with structured data, not string parsing\n- Relationship graph output carries relation type labels alongside CELLAR URIs and resolved CELEX numbers for human-readable downstream use\n\n---\n\n## Getting started\n\n### Public Hosted Instance\n\nA public instance is available at `https://eur-lex.caseyjhand.com/mcp` — no installation required.

Seven tools across document search, retrieval, resolution, case law, relations, EuroVoc, and raw SPARQL. |\n| `src/mcp-server/resources` | Resource definitions (`*.resource.ts`). Metadata and relations resources. |\n| `src/mcp-server/prompts` | Prompt definitions (`*.prompt.ts`). Comparative analysis prompt. |\n| `tests/` | Unit and integration tests mirroring `src/`. |\n\n---\n\n## Development guide\n\nSee [`CLAUDE.md`](https://github.com/cyanheads/eur-lex-mcp-server/blob/main/CLAUDE.md) for development guidelines and architectural rules. The short version:\n\n- Handlers throw, framework catches — no `try/catch` in tool logic\n- Use `ctx.log` for request-scoped logging, `ctx.state` for tenant-scoped storage\n- Register new tools and resources via the barrels in `src/mcp-server/*/definitions/index.ts`\n- Wrap external API calls: validate raw → normalize to domain type → return output schema; never fabricate missing fields\n\n---\n\n## Contributing\n\nIssues and pull requests are welcome. Run checks and tests before submitting:\n\n```sh\nbun run devcheck\nbun run test\n```\n\n---\n\n## License\n\nApache-2.0 — see [LICENSE](https://github.com/cyanheads/eur-lex-mcp-server/blob/main/LICENSE) for details.\n","changelogMarkdown","videoKey","requiredSecretsJson","publishedAt","priceCents","trialDays",0,"categoryDisplayName","Developer Tools","upstream",{"_95":96,"_97":98,"_99":100,"_101":102,"_103":104},"requiredSecrets",[],"tags",[],"assets",[],"stats",{"_93":80,"_94":80},"ratingAvg","reviewCount","topics",[105,106,19,107,108,109,110,111,112,113,114],"license","Apache-2.0","language","TypeScript","registryName","io.github.cyanheads/eur-lex-mcp-server","homepage","https://www.npmjs.com/package/@cyanheads/eur-lex-mcp-server","ai-agents","ai-tools","eu-law","eur-lex","legislation","mcp","mcp-server","model-context-protocol","sparql","typescript","ENV",{"_117":118,"_119":120,"_121":122},"ENVIRONMENT","production","TURNSTILE_SITE_KEY","0x4AAAAAAB8-rEI2gNDf_QhU","SENTRY_DSN","https://45fd1229f78089d5c3ee78be128030e1@o4510583261757440.ingest.de.sentry.io/4510584253448272"]
