Common questions

Is Fr Eli MCP safe?

It passed 1 of 1 applicable basic checks. We have not read the code. Before adding a key or token, see what access the server asks for and use a key with only the permissions you need.

What keys or codes does it need?

The registry does not list a required key, though some servers ask you to sign in on first use.

Does it run on my computer or in the cloud?

It runs on your computer. Your AI app starts it when needed, and data does not pass through the maker’s servers (unless it calls an online service itself).

Is it still maintained?

The GitHub repo last changed –, and the latest version (0.5.3) reached the registry 2 months ago.

Which apps can use it?

Apps that support MCP, such as Claude Desktop, Claude Code, Cursor and VS Code. You also need Python (uv) on your computer.

What can I use instead?

fr-eli-mcp

Install (one command)

Published on PyPI + MCP Registry (io.github.matematicsolutions/fr-eli-mcp). Run without cloning:

uvx fr-eli-mcp

Requires PISTE credentials in env: PISTE_CLIENT_ID, PISTE_CLIENT_SECRET (Legifrance/PISTE).

Configure your MCP client (stdio):

{ "mcpServers": { "fr-eli-mcp": { "command": "uvx", "args": ["fr-eli-mcp"] } } }

Windows 11 with Smart App Control

Smart App Control blocks unsigned executables, which covers uvx.exe, pip.exe and the fr-eli-mcp.exe launcher that pip writes at install time. The python.exe and py.exe from the python.org installer are signed by the Python Software Foundation, so running the module through the interpreter works:

python -m pip install fr-eli-mcp

python -m fr_eli_mcp

pip.exe is blocked for the same reason, so install with python -m pip, not pip install. If python is not on PATH, use the Windows launcher: py -3 -m fr_eli_mcp.

{ "mcpServers": { "fr-eli-mcp": { "command": "python", "args": ["-m", "fr_eli_mcp"] } } }

Do not turn Smart App Control off to work around this - it cannot be re-enabled without reinstalling Windows.

Building from source: see Install.

An MCP server for the French Legifrance API via PISTE. It searches French legislation (LODA laws & decrees, codes), case law from three jurisdictions - Cour de cassation / cours d'appel (JURI), the Conseil constitutionnel (CONSTIT - QPC/DC decisions) and the administrative courts (CETAT - Conseil d'Etat, cours administratives d'appel, tribunaux administratifs) - plus CNIL deliberations (CNIL), collective labour agreements (KALI) and company-level agreements (ACCO), and returns verbatim text with verifiable citations. Part of the eu-legal-mcp line of national legal connectors by MateMatic.

Every response carries the citation contract: a stable eli_uri, a human_readable_citation (French convention) and a resolvable source_url.

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

official text and never sends anything beyond your query / document id.

Tools

Tool	What it does
`fr_search(query, fond, page_size)`	Keyword search a `fond`: `LODA` (laws & decrees), `CODE` (codes), `JURI` (Cour de cassation case law), `CONSTIT` (Conseil constitutionnel decisions), `CETAT` (administrative case law: Conseil d'Etat, CAA, TA), `CNIL` (CNIL deliberations), `KALI` (collective labour agreements), `ACCO` (company-level agreements). Returns hits with the citation contract; `CODE` hits expose matched `article_id`s.
`fr_get_act(text_id, date)`	Consult a LODA law/decree by `LEGITEXT...` id. Returns metadata + a table of contents (`articles`).
`fr_get_text(article_id)`	Verbatim text of a single article by `LEGIARTI...` id (legislation/codes) or `KALIARTI...` id (collective agreements).
`fr_get_decision(decision_id)`	A court decision by `JURITEXT...`, `CONSTEXT...` or `CETATEXT...` id, with its native `ecli` (when populated), court, formation, solution and text.
`fr_get_deliberation(deliberation_id)`	A CNIL deliberation by `CNILTEXT...` id (sanctions, authorizations, opinions) with its verbatim text and the citation `CNIL, deliberation n° ... du ...`.
`fr_get_convention(convention_id)`	A collective labour agreement text by `KALITEXT...` id. Returns metadata + a table of contents whose `KALIARTI...` ids resolve via `fr_get_text`.
`fr_get_company_agreement(agreement_id)`	A company-level agreement by `ACCOTEXT...` id - metadata only (company, SIRET, IDCC, sector, themes, unions, dates). Legifrance ships the full ACCO text only as a `.docx` attachment, so the tool cites `source_url` instead of re-serving it.
`fr_coverage()`	Declare what this connector covers, when each family was captured, and - explicitly - what it does NOT cover. Every gap carries a fallback.

Fonds covered (live totals, sandbox, 2026-07-08)

Fond	Corpus	Verified total
`CNIL`	CNIL deliberations	>= 26 759 (`totalResultNumber` on a broad stopword query)
`KALI`	Collective labour agreements (conventions collectives)	>= 35 790
`ACCO`	Company-level agreements	>= 387 656

Jurisdictions covered

Fond	Court(s)	Id prefix	Native ECLI
`JURI`	Cour de cassation, cours d'appel	`JURITEXT...`	Yes
`CONSTIT`	Conseil constitutionnel (QPC + DC decisions, ~7 400+ live on PISTE)	`CONSTEXT...`	Yes (`ECLI:FR:CC:...`)
`CETAT`	Conseil d'Etat, cours administratives d'appel (CAA), tribunaux administratifs (TA)	`CETATEXT...`	Yes for Conseil d'Etat; frequently `null` for CAA/TA (uneven ECLI coverage upstream - never fabricated)

Conseil constitutionnel decisions get the French citation convention: Cons. const., decision n° 2025-1173 QPC du 7 novembre 2025 - [case name]. JURI/CETAT decisions cite the Legifrance titre (court, formation, date, dossier number) verbatim.

Judilibre (api.piste.gouv.fr/cassation/judilibre) was evaluated as an alternative Cour de

cassation source but requires its own PISTE API subscription beyond the Legifrance one already

held by this connector. Re-verified 2026-07-08: a valid Legifrance token (granted scope

openid resource.READ) gets 403 on the sandbox host for every endpoint and auth shape tried

(Bearer, KeyId, no-auth -> 400), and the sandbox application is rejected outright by the

production OAuth endpoint (invalid_client). Subscribing the Judilibre API to the PISTE

application is a dashboard action outside this connector. Not integrated - JURI already covers

Cour de cassation case law through the existing Legifrance subscription.

A note on ELI vs ECLI

France has an official ELI scheme, but the PISTE lf-engine-app consult API returns the native ELI field `null` for the legislation we tested. Following this line's rule - *say what you do not have, never fabricate an ELI* - eli_uri carries the stable, resolvable Legifrance resource URL (CID-keyed), not a /eli/... string parsed from prose. Each response repeats this in eli_note.

Case law is different: the API returns a native, authoritative ECLI for Cour de cassation (e.g. ECLI:FR:CCASS:2025:C100399), Conseil constitutionnel (e.g. ECLI:FR:CC:2025:2025.1173.QPC) and Conseil d'Etat (e.g. ECLI:FR:CECHR:2026:506507.20260529), surfaced verbatim in fr_get_decision. CAA/TA decisions under CETAT frequently have no ECLI - the field is null, never fabricated.

Configuration

Legifrance requires OAuth2 application credentials from a free PISTE account (piste.gouv.fr → *Applications* → subscribe to the Legifrance API → *OAuth Credentials*). Credentials are read from the environment only:

Variable	Meaning
`FR_ELI_OAUTH_URL`	OAuth token endpoint (sandbox default shown in `.mcp.json.example`).
`FR_ELI_BASE_URL`	Legifrance `lf-engine-app` base.
`FR_ELI_CLIENT_ID`	Your PISTE application client id (required).
`FR_ELI_CLIENT_SECRET`	Your PISTE application client secret (required).
`FR_ELI_CACHE_DIR`	Disk cache dir (default `~/.matematic/cache/fr-eli`).
`FR_ELI_AUDIT_DIR`	Audit log dir (default `~/.matematic/audit`).

Copy .mcp.json.example to .mcp.json (gitignored) and fill in your credentials, or set the variables in your host environment. The OAuth token is cached in memory and refreshed automatically.

Install

py -3.13 -m venv .venv

Distribution

Because Legifrance requires a PISTE key, this connector is distributed through the PATRON / appliance channel (governed), not casual drop-in download. See the eu-legal-mcp line notes.
