What it can do

Tool names and descriptions exactly as the server reported them on Nov 10, 2026. The maker wrote them, not us; we show them as plain text.

  • search

    Full-text search across Estonian LAW - both court decisions (civil, administrative and criminal rulings) and legislation (acts and their individual paragraphs), from Riigi Teataja, indexed by lahend.ee. Inflection-tolerant; wrap a phrase in "quotes" for an exact match. Every resu

  • fetch

    Retrieve the full text + metadata for any `id` returned by `search`. Handles all three kinds: `ruling: ` (a court decision with its linked companies), `law: ` (an act in its current redaktsioon, all paragraphs) and `section: : ` (a single paragraph, much shorter than a whole act)

  • get_law_section

    Return a single § of an Estonian act, addressed the way lawyers cite it: an abbreviation and a number, e.g. abbrev='KarS', paragrahv='199', or abbrev='TsMS', paragrahv='430'. Returns only that paragraph, not the whole act. Text comes from the act's current redaktsioon.

  • search_law_sections

    Full-text search across the paragraphs of every in-force Estonian act (4M+ sections). Answers 'which provision governs X' directly, returning the paragraphs themselves rather than acts you then have to read. Each hit carries a `section:` id for `fetch`.

  • search_laws

    Find Estonian acts by title or abbreviation (KarS, TsMS, VÕS…). Returns each act with a `law:` id for `fetch`, its type, issuer and whether it is still in force. Use get_law_section when you already know the paragraph you want.

  • law_versions

    List an act's redaktsioonid (consolidated versions) with their validity ranges, newest first. Use this to answer 'what did this say on date X' - Estonian law is amended constantly and the current text is often not the one that applied to the facts.

  • rulings_citing_section

    Given an act abbreviation and a §, return the court decisions that actually cite it, newest first, with a total count. Built from 3.05M citations extracted from the decision texts themselves. Shows how the courts have applied a provision (e.g. KarS § 199), which the statute text

  • sections_cited_by_ruling

    Given a ruling id (from `search`), list the statute paragraphs it cites, with the lõiked named and each § resolved to its act. Use it to see the legal basis of a decision without reading the whole judgment, then `fetch` a `section:` id for the provision text.

  • most_cited_sections

    The statute paragraphs cited by the most court decisions, ranked. A map of where Estonian litigation actually happens, and a good starting point when exploring an unfamiliar area.

  • authority_documents_for_ruling

    Given a ruling id, return documents from Estonian public-authority document registers that name the same companies - procurement files, licences, correspondence, inspections. A court dispute and an authority's file about the same company are the two halves nobody normally sees to

  • search_rulings

    Full-text ruling search with optional filters: court name, case type (civil/administrative/criminal), area of law (asja_kategooria) and a decision-date range. Returns a page of rulings with a total count. Use `list_courts` / `list_categories` to discover valid filter values. Two

  • rulings_by_company

    Given an 8-digit Estonian registry code (registrikood), return every court decision that names that company, with its role (claimant/defendant/etc.) and the other parties. This company↔case-law join is unique to lahend.ee. Find a registry code via nimistu.ee or the nimistu MCP.

  • list_courts

    All Estonian courts that have published decisions, each with its ruling count. Use a court name as the `court` filter in `search_rulings`.

  • list_categories

    All areas of law (asja_kategooria) present in the corpus, each with its ruling count. Use a category as the `category` filter in `search_rulings`. These counts do NOT sum to the corpus size: about 26% of rulings carry no category, so they appear in `list_courts` totals and in unf

  • recent_rulings

    The newest published rulings (by decision date), across all courts and areas of law.

  • eu_law_search

    Search EU regulations and directives, and Court of Justice / European Court of Human Rights judgments, by Estonian title or case number. The corpus is Estonian-language throughout: 94% of the Court of Justice's output is translated into Estonian, and essentially nothing indexes i

  • eu_act

    Fetch an EU regulation or directive by CELEX (e.g. '32016R0679' for the GDPR), article by article, in Estonian. Also reports how many Estonian court decisions cite it and which articles they lean on - the part EUR-Lex cannot answer.

  • estonian_rulings_citing_eu_law

    Given a CELEX (an act like '32016R0679', or a Court of Justice judgment like '62014CJ0362'), return the Estonian court decisions that cite it. This is the join no other source publishes: EUR-Lex knows the EU instrument, Riigi Teataja knows the Estonian decision, and nobody connec

  • eu_law_cited_by_ruling

    Given an Estonian ruling id (from `search`), list the EU instruments it cites - regulations, directives and Court of Justice judgments - with the articles named where the decision names them.

  • most_cited_eu_law

    Ranked by how many Estonian decisions cite them. A good starting point for 'which EU law actually matters in Estonian practice' - the answer is concentrated in consumer protection, jurisdiction, asylum and agriculture rather than spread evenly.

Common questions

Is lahend.ee — Estonian court decisions safe?

It passed 4 of 4 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 in the maker’s cloud. Connect over the internet with nothing to install, but what you send passes through the maker’s servers.

Is it still maintained?

The GitHub repo last changed 3 months ago, and the latest version (1.0.0) reached the registry 4 months ago.

Which apps can use it?

Apps that support MCP, such as Claude Desktop, Claude Code, Cursor and VS Code. It connects by URL, so apps that accept remote MCP servers work too, such as ChatGPT in developer mode.

What can I use instead?

lahend.ee MCP server

Free, no-API-key MCP server for Estonian law: court decisions, legislation paragraph by paragraph, and EU law in Estonian - with the citation index that links them to each other.

https://lahend.ee/api/lahend-mcp/mcp     (streamable HTTP)

https://lahend.ee/api/lahend-mcp/sse (SSE)

No key, no sign-up, no rate limit worth mentioning. Data comes from Riigi Teataja, EUR-Lex and HUDOC; company links come from the Estonian Business Register via nimistu.ee.

What it can do

Legislation is served in full, not just case law - each paragraph is addressable on its own, with every ruling that has ever cited it. That link is the point of the server: 3.05 million citations extracted from the decision texts, so you can ask what a statute means *in practice* rather than what it says.

The corpus is 564,503 rulings. Citations were extracted from 324,968 of them - the rest either cite no statute or state it in a form the extractor does not resolve. Two further coverage limits are worth knowing before you rely on a negative result:

  • Companies are linked on ~19% of rulings. Parties are matched by registry code found in the decision text, and many judgments name a company without ever stating its code. An empty companies array means no code was found - not that no company was involved.
  • ~26% of rulings carry no `asja_kategooria`. Filtering search_rulings by category silently excludes them; list_categories reports the uncategorised count alongside the per-category totals.

Add it

Claude Code:

claude mcp add --transport http lahend https://lahend.ee/api/lahend-mcp/mcp

Any client that takes a remote MCP URL works the same way. search and fetch are present so the ChatGPT and Claude connector UIs work out of the box; the named tools above are better when you know what you want.

Examples
