br-eli-mcp 0.6.0

MCP server for Camara dos Deputados (bills), legis.senado.leg.br (Normas Juridicas by URN Lex), normas.leg.br (real article text), DataJud CNJ (court docket metadata), STJ Open Data, CARF, TST and TCU (real ruling text) - Brazilian federal legislation and case law with verifiable citations.

br-eli-mcp

MCP server for eight keyless, no-registration Brazilian open-data APIs:

1. Camara dos Deputados (dadosabertos.camara.leg.br) - the federal legislative process: bills (proposicoes) as they move through committees and floor votes.
2. Congresso Nacional Dados Abertos Legislativos (legis.senado.leg.br/dadosabertos) - the real LexML URN Lex resolver for enacted Normas Juridicas (laws, decrees, constitutional amendments): identification, Diario Oficial da Uniao publication provenance, amendment history, STF unconstitutionality notes.
3. normas.leg.br - the full-text companion to (2): real article-by-article text of enacted legislation, addressed by the same URN Lex.
4. DataJud CNJ (api-publica.datajud.cnj.jus.br) - court DOCKET metadata (not ruling text) across STJ/TST/TSE/TRFs/TJs/TRTs/TREs and military courts.
5. STJ Open Data Portal (dadosabertos.web.stj.jus.br) - real acordao (ruling) full text + ementa (headnote) from the Superior Tribunal de Justica, Brazil's second-highest court. Coverage starts May 2022.
6. CARF (acordaos.economia.gov.br) - real acordao (tax ruling) full text from Brazil's federal tax appeals board, by exact docket/decision number.
7. TST (jurisprudencia-backend2.tst.jus.br) - real ruling full text (inteiro teor) + ementa from the Tribunal Superior do Trabalho, Brazil's labor supreme court: free-text search and exact CNJ-process-number lookup (3,751,594 acordaos, 8,483,448 documents across all types - verified live 2026-07-07).
8. TCU (pesquisa.apps.tcu.gov.br) - real acordao full text (deliberation, rapporteur's report, vote) from the Tribunal de Contas da Uniao, the Federal Court of Accounts - public-procurement jurisprudence (525,620 acordaos - verified live 2026-07-07).

What this is (and isn't)

br_get_norma resolves a urn:lex:br:... against the Senado's own API gateway (public, no key or registration) and returns identification, publication provenance, and amendment history. br_get_norma_index + br_get_norma_texto resolve the same URN against normas.leg.br's structured Legislation tree for the real text of one article - not a summary. See DISCOVERY.md for how both endpoints were found: v0.1.0 tested the wrong host for identification and wrongly reported it as unconfirmed; v0.2.0 fixed that but still lacked full text; v0.3.0 found the full-text API on the same domain as the human-readable citation page.

This connector does not scrape Planalto (planalto.gov.br) HTML - no confirmed mechanical rule maps a URN Lex to a Planalto URL for every act type, and fabricating one would risk the citation-hallucination failure mode this fleet exists to prevent. Re-verified live 2026-07-07: legislacao.presidencia.gov.br (the REFLEGIS portal the manifest names) does not return a plain HTTP response to a keyless client at all - the connection is accepted but the request times out with zero bytes received, consistent with a bot-challenge/WAF in front of it, not a structured API. A minority of act types (mostly decrees) have no inline text in normas.leg.br either; for those, see DISCOVERY.md.

For case law, DataJud (docket metadata only, redistribution restricted by CNJ Resolution 446/2022), the STJ Open Data Portal (real acordao text, May 2022+), CARF (real tax-ruling text, exact lookup only), TST (real ruling text - free-text search and exact CNJ-process-number lookup, both confirmed live 2026-07-07 after a browser network trace of the real frontend revealed the request fields the earlier reverse-engineering missed) and TCU (real acordao/relatorio/voto text) are wired in below. TRF4/TRF5 were probed and rejected - their hosts never accept a connection from outside Brazil (geo_restricted) - and RFB's sijut2consulta is a scrape-class HTML app with no JSON backend. See DISCOVERY.md for the exact probes run and each confirmed request/response contract.

Bill type codes (sigla_tipo), for reference:

Code	Portuguese	English
PL	Projeto de Lei	ordinary bill
PLP	Projeto de Lei Complementar	complementary-law bill (implements a constitutional provision)
PEC	Proposta de Emenda a Constituicao	constitutional amendment proposal

Every response carries lex_uri, human_readable_citation and source_url. For br_search_proposicoes/br_get_proposicao, lex_uri is Camara's own stable API URI (not a URN Lex - a bill isn't enacted law yet). For br_get_norma, lex_uri is the real urn:lex:br:... you queried with, e.g. "urn:lex:br:federal:lei:2002-01-10;10406" (Codigo Civil). For br_get_norma_texto, lex_uri is that URN plus the article suffix, e.g. "...;10406!art5".
