One MCP server, 32 jurisdictions (21 EU). A read-only Model Context Protocol server over the legalize-dev corpus — national legislation stored as law-as-git: one law per Markdown file, every reform a Git commit, each with an 8-field ELI-style frontmatter (Legalize Format Spec v0.2). MIT-licensed source corpus; this connector is Apache-2.0.

Built by Matematic Solutions as part of the eu-legal-mcp line. Unlike the single-country *-eli-mcp connectors, this one serves many jurisdictions from a single server, because the underlying corpus is already normalised to one format.

Every response carries the citation contract the rest of the line uses:

• source_url — the official government source from the law's own frontmatter (e.g. boe.es, riigiteataja.ee, legifrance.gouv.fr). Never invented.
• github_url — the verifiable legalize-dev copy actually read.
• human_readable_citation — "<title> (<identifier>)".

It is RODO/GDPR-safe and self-hostable: nothing leaves the user's machine except read-only GETs to GitHub.

Call legalize_list_countries for the live list (add eu_only=true to filter).

law_id is the Markdown filename stem (e.g. BOE-A-1978-31229 for the Spanish Constitution, a numeric id for Estonia). Get it from legalize_search_laws or an official citation — there is no fuzzy title lookup.

uvx legalize-mcp           # run directly
# or
pip install legalize-mcp

Claude Code (.mcp.json):

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "legalize": { "command": "uvx", "args": ["legalize-mcp"] }
  }
}

Smart App Control blocks unsigned executables, which covers uvx.exe, pip.exe and the legalize-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 legalize-mcp
python -m legalize_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 legalize_mcp.

{ "mcpServers": { "legalize-mcp": { "command": "python", "args": ["-m", "legalize_mcp"] } } }

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

GITHUB_TOKEN (or GH_TOKEN) is optional — required only for legalize_search_laws, and it lifts the GitHub rate limit on legalize_list_reforms.

Every tool call appends one line to ~/.matematic/audit/legalize-mcp.jsonl (input hash, duration, status — no payloads). All tools are read-only and idempotent. See CONSTITUTION.md.
