Slovenian Law MCP

Production-grade Model Context Protocol server for Slovenian legal research.

It provides structured access to:

• Slovenian statutes and regulations (PIS / pisrs.si)
• Slovenian case law metadata (sodnapraksa.si)
• EU legal cross-references (EUR-Lex metadata)
• Parliamentary preparatory works (Drzavni zbor)

Package: @ansvar/slovenian-law-mcp
MCP name: eu.ansvar/slovenian-law-mcp

Features

• 14 MCP tools for legal search, citation handling, temporal retrieval, and EU-compliance checks
• SQLite + FTS5 query engine optimized for article-level lookup
• Seed-based database build included in repository
• Optional paid enrichment pipeline (case law ingestion, cross-references, EU import)
• Stdio transport (CLI/MCP clients) and streamable HTTP transport (Vercel API)

Seeded Database

The repository ships with seed files in data/seed/*.json.

• Build seed database: npm run build:db
• Audit seed quality: npm run audit:seeds
• Full seed verification (audit + rebuild): npm run verify:seeds

The prepublishOnly hook enforces release verification:

• npm run verify:release (seed audit, seed DB build, TypeScript build, tests)

Default runtime DB path:

• data/database.db

Important Disclaimers

Legal Advice

THIS TOOL IS NOT LEGAL ADVICE

Statute text is sourced from official PIS/pisrs.si publications. However:

• This is a research tool, not a substitute for professional legal counsel
• Court case coverage is limited -- do not rely solely on this for case law research
• Verify critical citations against primary sources for court filings
• EU cross-references are extracted from Slovenian statute text, not EUR-Lex full text

Client Confidentiality

Queries go through the Claude API. For privileged or confidential matters, use on-premise deployment. Lawyers should consider Odvetniška zbornica Slovenije (Slovenian Bar Association) confidentiality obligations when using cloud-based AI tools.
