Legal Text Mcp De
Look up German federal and state statutes (BGB, DSGVO, and related codes) with stable IDs and cite-grade provenance while scoping product terms, privacy copy, or compliance checks.
Overview
legal-text-mcp-de is a MCP server for the Validate phase that serves German legal texts with canonical IDs and cite-grade provenance for agent-driven compliance and product scoping.
What is this MCP server?
- Canonical IDs and provenance for German federal and state legal texts suitable for agent citations
- Configurable corpus via DATASET_PATH (directory or legal-texts-de-*.tar.zst) with STRICT_DATASET for production hardenin
- Stdio MCP via PyPI package legal-text-mcp-de (uvx serve)
- Optional smart research_topic tool when ANTHROPIC_API_KEY is set
- Bundled fixture dataset for local dev; production expects mounted /data/corpus/latest.tar.zst
- Server schema version 2.1.3
- Stdio transport via registry identifier legal-text-mcp-de on PyPI
- Optional research_topic requires ANTHROPIC_API_KEY
What problem does it solve?
Builders targeting Germany waste hours chasing authoritative statute wording across sites and still risk quoting outdated or untraceable text in policies and specs.
Who is it for?
Indie SaaS and API founders validating GDPR/BGB-related obligations or drafting German-market legal copy inside an agent workflow.
Skip if: Teams that need automated legal advice, non-German jurisdictions only, or workflows without a maintained legal-texts-de corpus in production.
What do I get? / Deliverables
After you register the server and mount a production corpus, your agent can fetch identifiable German legal passages you can paste into scope docs, landing copy, and audit trails with consistent references.
- Retrieved German legal passages with canonical IDs and provenance suitable for product and policy drafts
- Optional LLM-assisted thematic legal research via research_topic when configured
- Fail-fast startup behavior when STRICT_DATASET=true and corpus load fails
Recommended MCP Servers
Journey fit
Legal corpus access belongs in validate when you define what you are allowed to build and what you must disclose before committing engineering effort. Scope subphase covers requirements and constraints—including regulatory text—that shape MVP boundaries and launch obligations.
How it compares
MCP legal corpus integration with provenance metadata, not a templated privacy-policy generator skill.
Common Questions / FAQ
Who is legal-text-mcp-de for?
Solo builders and small teams shipping products for Germany who want their coding agent to pull authoritative statute text with stable IDs instead of guessing from blog summaries.
When should I use legal-text-mcp-de?
Use it during validate and early ship when you are scoping data processing, drafting imprint/privacy language, or checking contractual clauses against BGB/DSGVO sources before you lock copy.
How do I add legal-text-mcp-de to my agent?
Install the PyPI package legal-text-mcp-de, run uvx with the serve subcommand over stdio, set DATASET_PATH (and STRICT_DATASET=true for hosted setups), add the server in your MCP client config, and optionally set ANTHROPIC_API_KEY only if you need the research_topic tool.
