What the code does

We read the source, 12 h ago · tools taken from the live server · rules 3dff92dd89df

Capabilities

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.

Executes code built at runtime web/smoke.mjs:55
    dom.window.eval(code);
Runs an external command src/Lex.Ingest/IndexFromCorpus.cs:816
        var start = new ProcessStartInfo("git")

Is this your server and something here is wrong? Tell us — corrections are free and do not require a plan.

This code can reach further than it looks

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.

Available tools 10

Read directly from the server with tools/list, grouped by what they act on. If a tool disappears, we record the date.

article
article_history
Every distinct text ONE provision (article/annex) has had on its publisher timeline, plus lifecycle events (inserted/removed/renumbered, renumbering detected mechanically by identical text hash). Read timeline_semantics before calling an interval legal applicability. Answers "what did Article X say over its life / when did it change".
as
as_of
The state of one document as it stood on one date. Pure lookup, no ranking. mode=outline lists provisions without text and may be narrowed with anchors; mode=select returns only the named anchors' text; mode=full (default) returns the whole text. Every provision carries its own permalink and hash.
changes
changes_in_period
ACROSS the corpus: which works gained new versions between two dates, how many each, and when — the aggregate counterpart of diff/timeline (which cover ONE work). Use for "what changed between 2025 and 2026", "which laws changed most during the pandemic", "what moved last month". order=by_churn ranks by number of new versions; by_date (default) lists most recently changed first.
cited
cited_by
Which held provision versions contain captured publisher cross-references to this work. This reverse lookup reports the publisher references Lex captured; it does not classify their relationship type or assess current legal effect.
coverage
coverage
What we hold and what we lack, tier by tier: counts, date ranges, history_begins, known gaps. This tool exists to say what we do NOT have.
diff
diff
What changed between two dates for one work: which publisher versions cover the selected dates and, where both texts are held, retrieve them via as_of to compare. An optional held article anchor scopes the typed comparison workspace. Read timeline_semantics before describing legal applicability.
force
in_force_on
Compatibility name for publisher states covering a date, computed from timeline intervals and deduplicated by work. Legilux states describe applicability; EUR-Lex states are official consolidated wording states and must not be called entry into force. Every envelope carries timeline_semantics and the result carries a mandatory population disclosure.
provenance
provenance
Proof chain for one lex_id: source URI, retrieval time, record/body hashes, event chain, corpus commit, index build, stamp signature.
search
search
Filtered legal search. keyword is deterministic FTS5/BM25; hybrid adds the pinned local encoder and fixed RRF when verified vectors are mounted. No generative model participates. The response query_plan separates resolved work constraints, article and role intent, and residual provision terms. Returns hits WITHOUT body text; full state via as_of.
timeline
timeline
Every publisher state a document has been in: timeline intervals, version keys, and explicit timeline_semantics. Legilux intervals describe applicability; EUR-Lex intervals describe official consolidated wording states, not entry into force.
