What this server is able to do. For an MCP server this is often the job itself — a terminal server runs commands because that is what it is for. Listed so you know what you are plugging in, not as an accusation.

Is this your server and something here is wrong? Tell us — corrections are free and do not require a plan.
We found places where it runs commands, builds paths or queries from values it is given. None of that is a flaw by itself — it becomes one when the code changes, and code changes quietly between releases. We re-read it on every one.

This one needs environment variables set before it will start:
DATASET_PATH (Path 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_DATASET (Set to 'true' to refuse to start if the dataset cannot be loaded (recommended for hosted deployments).), ANTHROPIC_API_KEY (Optional. Required only for the smart `research_topic` tool which uses LLM-assisted synthesis. Without it, the tool degrades gracefully to a ranked-search fallback.).
