il-eli-mcp

MCP server for Israeli law via the Knesset's official OData API plus a local case-law corpus. Covers the legislation registry (KNS_IsraelLaw: in-force/repealed status, Basic Law flag), published law versions with their official PDF documents (KNS_Law + KNS_DocumentLaw, including consolidated texts), and 10,558 Hebrew court judgments.

What this is not

  • Law texts are PDF links, not inline text - il_get_law_documents returns official fs.knesset.gov.il PDF URLs; fetching and reading the PDF is the client's job.
  • Two disjoint legislation id spaces - israel_law_id (registry) and law_id (published versions). The Knesset exposes no reliable general join between them; search both by name (see DISCOVERY.md).
  • Hebrew only - law names, queries and judgments are in Hebrew.
  • No Supreme Court case law - the local corpus covers Family, District, Magistrate, Labor, Military and Administrative courts only, and its upstream license is undocumented (analysis use, not redistribution).

Tools

Tool Purpose
il_search_laws Full-text search over law names (registry: status, Basic Law flag)
il_get_law Full detail for one law by its IsraelLawID
il_search_law_texts Search published law versions (KNS_Law), incl. consolidated texts
il_get_law_documents Official PDF documents for a published law (fs.knesset.gov.il)
il_search_case_law Keyword search over the local corpus of 10,558 judgments
il_get_case One judgment's full text by judgment_id

Every response carries lex_uri, source_url and human_readable_citation (the Hebrew name) - Israel has no separate public citation identifier scheme for this data, so the URLs are dereferenceable Knesset OData entity URLs, never invented.

Install

pip install il-eli-mcp

Windows 11 with Smart App Control

Smart App Control blocks unsigned executables, which covers uvx.exe, pip.exe and the il-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 il-eli-mcp
python -m il_eli_mcp

pip.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 il_eli_mcp.

{ "mcpServers": { "il-eli-mcp": { "command": "python", "args": ["-m", "il_eli_mcp"] } } }

Do not turn Smart App Control off to work around this - it cannot be re-enabled without reinstalling Windows.
