An MCP server for the Romanian Portal Legislativ (legislatie.just.ro), the Ministry of Justice legislative database, through its public SOAP API. It searches Romanian legislation and returns metadata and full text, with verifiable citations.

Part of the MateMatic eu-legal-mcp production line - after PL, DE, AT, ES, FI, IE, NL, SE, FR, LU, DK, CZ, HR, LT and SK. Same citation contract, Portal Legislativ source. This connector talks SOAP (a token obtained via GetToken, no registration, then Search).

Scope. This MVP searches acts by title, free text, year and number, and returns the full text the API provides inline. The same number can exist across act types (LEGE, DECRET, HOTARARE...), so a tip_act disambiguates. The API returns up to 10 results per page. Language: Romanian. Every response carries a dataset_note.

ELI is national, not data.europa.eu. Romania has no data.europa.eu ELI for this portal. eli_uri carries the canonical legislatie.just.ro document URL (the stable national identifier), which is also the source_url. Every response carries an eli_note.

Every response carries the contract: eli_uri (the legislatie.just.ro URL), human_readable_citation (e.g. LEGE nr. 190/2018), and source_url.

Run it with no install step (once published to PyPI):

uvx ro-eli-mcp

Or from source:

cd ro-eli-mcp
pip install -e .

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "ro-eli-mcp": { "command": "ro-eli-mcp" }
  }
}

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

{ "mcpServers": { "ro-eli-mcp": { "command": "python", "args": ["-m", "ro_eli_mcp"] } } }

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

Environment:

• RO_ELI_ENDPOINT - default https://legislatie.just.ro/apiws/FreeWebService.svc/SOAP
• RO_ELI_CACHE_DIR - default ~/.matematic/cache/ro-eli
• RO_ELI_AUDIT_DIR - default ~/.matematic/audit

No API key. The token is obtained via GetToken automatically (no registration).

• Public data only - read-only against the Portal Legislativ; no client data leaves the machine.
• Audit log - every tool call appends one JSON line to ~/.matematic/audit/ro-eli-mcp.jsonl.
• Vendor-neutral - talks only to legislatie.just.ro; no LLM provider, no telemetry.
• Verifiable citations - every response is independently checkable via source_url.
