An MCP server for the Czech e-Sbirka legal database (e-sbirka.gov.cz), the official
Collection of Laws (Sbirka zakonu), via its open-data SPARQL endpoint. It searches acts and
fetches their full consolidated text, with verifiable citations.
Part of the MateMatic eu-legal-mcp production line - after PL, DE, AT, ES, FI, IE, NL, SE, FR,
LU and DK. Same citation contract, e-Sbirka source. This is the first connector in the line that
talks SPARQL/RDF rather than a REST/XML API.
Scope. This MVP searches acts (by year and/or a citation substring), returns metadata, and assembles the full consolidated text of the latest version. ~92,000 acts, updated daily, licensed CC BY 4.0. Language: Czech. Every response carries a
dataset_note.ELI is national, not data.europa.eu. The act IRI follows the ELI URI template (
eli/cz/sb/{year}/{number}) but is minted by the e-Sbirka open-data graph (opendata.eselpoint.gov.cz), not resolvable ondata.europa.eu. The readable page is one-sbirka.gov.cz. Every response carries aneli_notesaying so.Text is assembled, not a single file. e-Sbirka exposes the consolidated text as ordered HTML fragments over SPARQL;
cz_get_textreconstructs the plain text from them. There is no single official XML/PDF manifestation.
| Tool | What it does |
|---|---|
cz_search |
Find acts by year and/or a citation substring (discovery). |
cz_get_act |
Metadata for an act by year + number, plus the latest consolidated version date. |
cz_get_text |
Full consolidated text of an act, assembled from the latest version's fragments. |
Every response carries the contract: eli_uri (the national ELI IRI, e.g.
https://opendata.eselpoint.gov.cz/esel-esb/eli/cz/sb/2019/110), human_readable_citation
(e.g. 110/2019 Sb.), and source_url (the e-sbirka.gov.cz page).
Run it with no install step (once published to PyPI):
uvx cz-eli-mcpOr from source:
cd cz-eli-mcp
pip install -e .{
"mcpServers": {
"cz-eli-mcp": { "command": "cz-eli-mcp" }
}
}Smart App Control blocks unsigned executables, which covers uvx.exe, pip.exe
and the cz-eli-mcp.exe launcher that pip writes at install time. The python.exe and
py.exe from the python.org installer are signed by the Python Software
Foundation, so running the module through the interpreter works:
python -m pip install cz-eli-mcp
python -m cz_eli_mcppip.exe is blocked for the same reason, so install with python -m pip, not
pip install. If python is not on PATH, use the Windows launcher: py -3 -m cz_eli_mcp.
{ "mcpServers": { "cz-eli-mcp": { "command": "python", "args": ["-m", "cz_eli_mcp"] } } }Do not turn Smart App Control off to work around this - it cannot be re-enabled without reinstalling Windows.

No API key. The e-Sbirka open-data SPARQL endpoint is keyless.
- Public data only - read-only SPARQL against e-Sbirka; no client data leaves the machine.
- Audit log - every tool call appends one JSON line to
~/.matematic/audit/cz-eli-mcp.jsonl. - Vendor-neutral - talks only to
opendata.eselpoint.gov.cz; no LLM provider, no telemetry. - Verifiable citations - every response is independently checkable via
source_url.
