lu-eli-mcp

An MCP server for Luxembourg legislation via Legilux open data (data.legilux.public.lu). It fetches act metadata and full Akoma Ntoso text with verifiable citations. Part of the eu-legal-mcp line of national legal connectors by MateMatic.

Legilux is genuinely ELI-native: every act is addressed by its ELI and described as jolux RDF over a FRBR model (Work / Expression / Manifestation), with full text as Akoma Ntoso XML. Every response carries a native eli_uri, a human_readable_citation and a resolvable source_url.

Read-only. The server only queries Legilux and writes a local audit log. It never modifies official text.

Tools

There is no free-text search: Legilux exposes no HTTP search endpoint. Discover acts by ELI coordinates (from legilux.public.lu) or by following the cites / modifies / repeals ELIs that lu_get_act returns. Luxembourg is multilingual, so titles and text may be French or German; the languages field shows what exists for a given act.
