Run the services locally

Data lives on Hugging Face. Code and Docker images live here. Each GitHub release is a code version, never a data download.

Related MCP server: korean-law-mcp

Run the services locally

git clone https://github.com/taktekhq/lebanese-legislation.git
cd lebanese-legislation
./start

You need Docker Compose, 4 GB of free memory and 30 GB of free disk. The first start downloads the latest dump from Hugging Face, checks its SHA-256 and restores it. That can take up to two hours. Later starts reuse the volume.

Then open the website at http://localhost:8080, the API at http://localhost:8000/docs, or point an MCP client at http://localhost:8001/mcp. Exact and citation search need no AI key. For semantic search, add your own GEMINI_API_KEY to .env.

Image

What it is

ghcr.io/taktekhq/lebanese-legislation-db:0.3.0

PostgreSQL 18.6 with pgvector. Restores the dump into an empty volume on first start.

ghcr.io/taktekhq/lebanese-legislation-api:0.3.0

REST API: laws, articles, rulings, Gazette, exact and semantic search.

ghcr.io/taktekhq/lebanese-legislation-mcp:0.3.0

The same backend as the API, served over MCP.

ghcr.io/taktekhq/lebanese-legislation-web:0.3.0

The website, in Arabic and English, with keyword search.

All four run on Linux AMD64 and ARM64. Nothing is baked into the images: the data comes from Hugging Face.

What is in this repository

Folder

What it is

db/

The PostgreSQL image. Builds pgvector from source on the official postgres:18.6 image.

server/

The Python package lebleg: one backend for the API and the MCP server, plus the restore, build and publish tools.

web/

The Go website, published as the -web image.

examples/

The MCP image on Cloudflare Containers, and the handwriting demo.

docs/

Service reference, MCP setup and the data update pipeline.

compose.yaml runs the four images. compose.build.yaml builds them from this checkout instead. compose.local.yaml loads a dump you already downloaded. server.json is the MCP Registry entry and .mcp.json the client configuration for the hosted server.

Collecting the source texts stays in a separate private repository.
