hr-eli-mcp

An MCP server for the Croatian Narodne novine official gazette (narodne-novine.nn.hr). It fetches Croatian legislation with European ELI identifiers and verifiable citations.

Part of the MateMatic eu-legal-mcp production line - after PL, DE, AT, ES, FI, IE, NL, SE, FR, LU, DK and CZ. Same citation contract, Narodne novine source. Croatia is ELI-native on the European ELI ontology (data.europa.eu/eli), with JSON-LD metadata per document.

Scope. This MVP lists the documents of a gazette issue, returns per-document metadata from JSON-LD, and fetches the official HTML text. Documents are addressed by year + issue + document number; the gazette is path-based, not keyword search. Coverage 1990-present. Language: Croatian. Every response carries a dataset_note.

Licence. Narodne novine is the official public gazette of Croatia. This connector relays it read-only with attribution and a source_url.

hr_list_issue	List the documents of a gazette issue by year + issue (discovery).
hr_get_act	Metadata for a document by year + issue + doc number.

Governance

• Public data only - read-only against Narodne novine; no client data leaves the machine.
• Audit log - every tool call appends one JSON line to ~/.matematic/audit/hr-eli-mcp.jsonl.
• Vendor-neutral - talks only to narodne-novine.nn.hr; no LLM provider, no telemetry.
• Verifiable citations - every response is independently checkable via source_url.
