MCP License: MIT Node

MCP server for EU law and CJEU case law via the Publications Office SPARQL endpoint (Cellar / EUR-Lex), plus national data-protection authority decisions via GDPRhub.

CJEU corpus in Cellar (SPARQL COUNT, 2026-07-08): 34,261 judgments (JUDG), 8,362 orders (ORDER), 14,480 Advocate-General opinions (OPIN_AG) - 57,103 judgments and opinions in total, each with CELEX + ECLI.

Tools

  • search_by_celex(celex, lang?) - act or judgment by CELEX number (e.g. 32016R0679 = GDPR, 62018CJ0311 = Schrems II).
  • search_by_date_range(date_from, date_to, document_type?, lang?, limit?)
    • acts within a date range, optionally narrowed to a type (REG / DIR / DEC / RECO / OPIN).
  • search_cjeu(query?, date_from?, date_to?, document_type?, lang?, limit?) - judgments (JUDG), orders (ORDER) and Advocate-General opinions (OPIN_AG) of the Court of Justice of the EU; optional keyword in the title (parties to the case, case number, keywords of the judgment).
  • search_cjeu_by_ecli(ecli, lang?) - CJEU judgment by ECLI identifier (e.g. ECLI:EU:C:2020:559 = Schrems II).
  • search_gdprhub(query, limit?) - full-text search in GDPRhub (the noyb project wiki): decisions of national data-protection authorities across the EU + commentary on GDPR articles. Content license: CC BY-NC-SA 4.0 - flagged in the license field of every citation.

Every response includes structuredContent.citations with the fields title, url, celex?, ecli?, publication_date?, document_type?, snippet?, license? - Patron reads this field and renders it in the UI panel as the "EU legal acts (EUR-Lex / CJEU)" section.

Stack

  • Node 18+
  • @modelcontextprotocol/sdk
  • Stdio transport (like mcp-saos)
  • Backend: HTTP POST to https://publications.europa.eu/webapi/rdf/sparql with format=application/sparql-results+json; GET to https://gdprhub.eu/api.php (MediaWiki API)

Build + run

Terminal
npm install
npm run build
node dist/index.js   # starts the server on stdio

Wiring into Patron

  {
    "name": "saos",
    "transport": "stdio",
    "command": "node",
    "args": ["C:/Users/<YOUR-USER>/mcp-saos/dist/index.js"]

Tests

Terminal
npm run drift          # offline: INSTRUCTIONS consistent with TOOLS and ErrorCode
npm run test:offline   # offline: query builders + parsers on fixtures (no network)
npm run smoke          # live: all 5 tools against Cellar + GDPRhub

Part of MateMatic

This connector queries its source live. It is one of the Polish and EU source connectors bundled in PATRON and works with any MCP client.

mcp-saos, mcp-nsa, mcp-isap, mcp-krs and mcp-eu-sparql share one structuredContent.citations contract: each tool returns an array of {title, url, snippet?, ...metadata} that legal agents can render directly in their citation panel.

See matematicsolutions/.github for the full org profile.
