Legal Text Mcp De
Exposes German federal and state legal texts through MCP tools for listing laws, fetching specific norms by citation, resolving references, and running full-text searches. Every text includes provenance metadata: source URL, fetch timestamp, content hash, and parser path. Loads from gesetze-im-internet.de for federal law and EUR-Lex for EU regulations like GDPR. Ships with both an MCP interface and a parallel FastAPI HTTP API over the same runtime. You can run it with fixture data for testing, pull signed corpus bundles from GHCR, or build your own corpus from official sources. Useful when you need programmatic access to authoritative German legal text with audit-grade sourcing, not legal interpretation.

DATASET_PATHPath to a normalised corpus directory or a corpus archive (legal-texts-de-*.tar.zst). Defaults to the bundled fixture; production deployments should mount /data/corpus/latest.tar.zst.
STRICT_DATASETdefault: falseSet to 'true' to refuse to start if the dataset cannot be loaded (recommended for hosted deployments).
ANTHROPIC_API_KEYsecretOptional. Required only for the smart `research_topic` tool which uses LLM-assisted synthesis. Without it, the tool degrades gracefully to a ranked-search fallback.
