## What it does

justicelibre gives an AI client access to French case law and legislation through the HTTP MCP endpoint `https://justicelibre.org/mcp`. Its 19 tools cover cross-source search, full decision and article retrieval, citation checks, and reference resolution.

Thirteen tools work without an account. Six more handle folders, saved references, notes and support tickets. The service covers court decisions, codes, the Journal officiel, collective agreements and parliamentary material, with results pointing back to official sources.

Search does not require an account, while saved research items do. The dataset is refreshed daily and released under the Licence Ouverte Etalab.
