Lithuanian Law MCP Server

<!-- ANSVAR-CTA-BEGIN --> > The Lithuanian law corpus is now served through the Ansvar Gateway. Connect your AI assistant (Claude, Copilot, Cursor, custom MCP client) to https://gateway.ansvar.eu/mcp — one OAuth connection, free tier available, covering this corpus plus EU regulations, national law across 28 audited jurisdictions, and CVE/security intelligence, every result with a verbatim source citation. Start at https://ansvar.eu/docs/quickstart

Connect

Claude Code (one line):

claude mcp add ansvar --transport http https://gateway.ansvar.eu/mcp

Claude Desktop / Cursor — add to claude_desktop_config.json (or mcp.json):

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "ansvar": {
      "type": "url",
      "url": "https://gateway.ansvar.eu/mcp"
    }
  }
}

Claude.ai — Settings → Connectors → Add custom connector → paste https://gateway.ansvar.eu/mcp

First request opens an OAuth signup flow (setup details: ansvar.eu/docs/quickstart). After signup, your client is bound to your account; tier (free / premium / team / company) determines fan-out, quota, and which downstream MCPs are reachable.

Self-host this MCP

You can also clone this repo and build the corpus yourself. The schema, fetcher, and tool implementations all live here. What is not in the repo is the pre-built database — TDM and standards-licensing constraints on the upstream sources mean we host the corpus on Ansvar infrastructure rather than redistribute it as a public artifact.

Build your own: run this repo's ingestion script (entry-point varies per repo — typically scripts/ingest.sh, npm run ingest, or make ingest; check the repo root). <!-- ANSVAR-CTA-END -->

The e-Seimas alternative for the AI age.

      

Query 12,045 Lithuanian statutes -- from the Asmens duomenų teisinės apsaugos įstatymas and Baudžiamasis kodeksas to the Civilinis kodeksas, Darbo kodeksas, and more -- directly from Claude, Cursor, or any MCP-compatible client.

If you're building legal tech, compliance tools, or doing Lithuanian legal research, this is your verified reference database.

Why This Exists

Lithuanian legal research is scattered across e-Seimas, TAR (Teisės aktų registras), and EUR-Lex. Whether you're:

• A lawyer validating citations in a brief or contract
• A compliance officer checking if a statute is still in force
• A legal tech developer building tools on Lithuanian law
• A researcher tracing legislative provisions across 12,045 statutes

...you shouldn't need dozens of browser tabs and manual cross-referencing. Ask Claude. Get the exact provision. With context.

This MCP server makes Lithuanian law searchable, cross-referenceable, and AI-readable.

Example Queries

Once connected, just ask naturally:

• "Ieškoti 'asmens duomenų apsauga' -- kokias pareigas nustato ADTAĮ?"
• "Ar Baudžiamojo kodekso 196 straipsnis vis dar galioja?"
• "Rask nuostatas apie darbuotojų apsaugą Darbo kodekse"
• "Kokie ES teisės aktai įgyvendinti per Civilinį kodeksą?"
• "Kurie Lietuvos įstatymai įgyvendina BDAR?"
• "Patikrink nuorodą: DK 38 str. 1 d."
• "Pateik teisinę poziciją dėl duomenų apsaugos pažeidimų pagal ADTAĮ"
• "Ar Lietuvos kibernetinio saugumo įstatymas atitinka NIS2?"

What's Included

| Category | Count | Details | |----------|-------|---------| | Statutes | 12,045 statutes | Comprehensive Lithuanian legislation from TAR | | Provisions | 89,705 sections | Full-text searchable with FTS5 | | EU Cross-References | Included | Directives and regulations linked to Lithuanian law | | Database Size | 262 MB | Optimized SQLite, portable | | Daily Updates | Automated | Freshness checks against TAR (e-tar.lt) |

Verified data only -- every citation is validated against official sources (TAR, e-Seimas). Zero LLM-generated content.

See It In Action

Why This Works

Verbatim Source Text (No LLM Processing):

• All statute text is ingested from TAR (Teisės aktų registras) official sources
• Provisions are returned unchanged from SQLite FTS5 database rows
• Zero LLM summarization or paraphrasing -- the database contains regulation text, not AI interpretations

Smart Context Management:

• Search returns ranked provisions with BM25 scoring (safe for context)
• Provision retrieval gives exact text by statute number + article/section
• Cross-references help navigate without loading everything at once

Technical Architecture: `` TAR API → Parse → SQLite → FTS5 snippet() → MCP response ↑ ↑ Provision parser Verbatim database query ``

Traditional Research vs. This MCP

| Traditional Approach | This MCP Server | |---------------------|-----------------| | Search e-Seimas by statute number | Search by plain Lithuanian: "asmens duomenys sutikimas" | | Navigate multi-chapter statutes manually | Get the exact provision with context | | Manual cross-referencing between laws | build_legal_stance aggregates across sources | | "Is this statute still in force?" → check manually | check_currency tool → answer in seconds | | Find EU basis → dig through EUR-Lex | get_eu_basis → linked EU directives instantly | | Check multiple sites for updates | Daily automated freshness checks | | No API, no integration | MCP protocol → AI-native |

Traditional: Search TAR → Download PDF → Ctrl+F → Cross-reference with other statutes → Check EUR-Lex for EU basis → Repeat

This MCP: "Kokie ES teisės aktai yra ADTAĮ 3 str. pagrindas?" → Done.

EU Law Integration

Lithuania is an EU member state. Lithuanian legislation directly transposes EU directives and implements EU regulations, creating a tight mapping between Lithuanian and EU law.

Key areas of EU-Lithuanian law alignment:

• GDPR (2016/679) -- implemented via the Asmens duomenų teisinės apsaugos įstatymas (ADTAĮ, Law No. XI-1374)
• NIS2 Directive (2022/2555) -- implemented via the Kibernetinio saugumo įstatymas
• eIDAS Regulation (910/2014) -- applicable directly; supplemented by national e-signature rules
• DORA (2022/2554) -- financial sector digital resilience obligations
• AI Act (2024/1689) -- EU regulation applicable directly across all member states

The EU bridge tools provide bi-directional lookup: find which Lithuanian statutes implement a given EU act, or find which EU acts underpin a given Lithuanian provision.

| Metric | Value | |--------|-------| | EU Member State | Since 2004 | | Legal System | Civil law (continental European tradition) | | Official Gazette | TAR (Teisės aktų registras) | | EUR-Lex Integration | Automated metadata fetching |

See EU_INTEGRATION_GUIDE.md for detailed documentation.

Important Disclaimers

Legal Advice

THIS TOOL IS NOT LEGAL ADVICE Statute text is sourced from official TAR/e-Seimas publications. However: - This is a research tool, not a substitute for professional legal counsel - Verify critical citations against primary sources for court filings - EU cross-references are extracted from Lithuanian statute text, not EUR-Lex full text - Always confirm current in-force status via TAR before relying on a provision professionally
