Lithuanian Law MCP Server

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.

Built by Ansvar Systems -- Stockholm, Sweden

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.

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
            ↑                     ↑

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

Before using professionally, read: DISCLAIMER.md | PRIVACY.md

Client Confidentiality

Queries go through the Claude API. For privileged or confidential matters, use on-premise deployment. See PRIVACY.md for Lietuvos advokatūra (Lithuanian Bar Association) compliance guidance.
