lt-eli-mcp

lt-eli-mcp

An MCP server for the Lithuanian Register of Legal Acts (TAR) via the data.gov.lt open-data API. It searches Lithuanian legislation by title and fetches 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 and HR. Same citation contract, TAR source. This connector reads a REST-JSON open-data API (the data.gov.lt Spinta endpoint).

Scope. This MVP searches acts by title substring, returns metadata, and fetches the full Lithuanian text. ~CC BY 4.0 open data; acts are addressed by their TAR code (tar_kodas). Language: Lithuanian. Every response carries a dataset_note.

ELI is national, not data.europa.eu. Lithuania has no data.europa.eu ELI for the TAR dataset. eli_uri carries the canonical e-tar.lt legalAct URL (the stable national identifier), which is also the source_url. Every response carries an eli_note saying so.

The tools

Tool	What it does
lt_search	Find acts whose title contains a substring (optionally by type).
lt_get_act	Metadata for an act by its TAR code.
lt_get_text	Full Lithuanian text of an act by its TAR code.

Every response carries the contract: eli_uri (the e-tar.lt URL, e.g. https://e-tar.lt/portal/lt/legalAct/...), human_readable_citation (title + official number), and source_url.

Install

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

uvx lt-eli-mcp

Or from source:

cd lt-eli-mcp
pip install -e .

Configure (Claude Code / any MCP client)

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

Windows 11 ze Smart App Control

Smart App Control blokuje niepodpisane pliki wykonywalne, a uvx.exe, pip.exe i generowany przy instalacji lt-eli-mcp.exe podpisane nie sa. python.exe z python.org jest podpisany przez Python Software Foundation, wiec uruchomienie przez modul omija blokade:

python -m pip install lt-eli-mcp
python -m lt_eli_mcp

{ "mcpServers": { "lt-eli-mcp": { "command": "python", "args": ["-m", "lt_eli_mcp"] } } }

Nie wylaczaj Smart App Control, zeby to obejsc - wylaczenia nie da sie cofnac bez ponownej instalacji systemu.

Environment:

• LT_ELI_BASE_URL - default https://get.data.gov.lt
• LT_ELI_CACHE_DIR - default ~/.matematic/cache/lt-eli
• LT_ELI_AUDIT_DIR - default ~/.matematic/audit

No API key. The data.gov.lt open-data API is keyless.

Governance

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

See CONSTITUTION.md and DISCOVERY.md.
