## What it does

The server exposes Chilean public sources to your agent: BCN, PJUD, CGR, DT, SII, CMF, SMA and TDLC. Every connector talks to open state repositories, so no signup or paid key is involved.

For confidential case files you can route work through Ollama and open models. Contracts and court papers then stay on your own machine.

Installation runs through `uvx`, which means `uv` has to sit in `PATH` — without it `claude mcp add` fails. The README also covers manual JSON setup for Cursor and GitHub Copilot.

## Requirements
- Needs: Python and uv (commands run via uvx)
