An MCP server for Belgian legislation via [Moniteur Belge / Belgisch Staatsblad] (https://www.ejustice.just.fgov.be), the official gazette of the Belgian Federal Public Service Justice. It fetches act metadata and full text by ELI coordinates, with verifiable citations. Part of the eu-legal-mcp line of national legal connectors by MateMatic.
Belgian legislation is addressed by ELI coordinates - type / year / month / day / numac
(the Belgian legislative numbering system) - at
https://www.ejustice.just.fgov.be/eli/{type}/{yyyy}/{mm}/{dd}/{numac}/justel. Every response
carries a native eli_uri, a human_readable_citation and a source_url.
Read-only. The server only queries ejustice.just.fgov.be and writes a local audit log. It never modifies official text.
Belgium is trilingual (French / Dutch / German).
human_readable_citationdefaults to the French form by LDH convention; usebe_get_text(language=...)for Dutch (Belgisch Staatsblad) or German. See CONSTITUTION.md Art. 4 for the full caveat.
| Tool | What it does |
|---|---|
be_get_act(doc_type, year, month, day, numac) | Metadata for an act by its ELI coordinates. doc_type is one of loi, decret, ordonnance, arrete, constitution. Returns the native eli_uri, title, source authority, publication date, entry-into-force date, table of contents, and the citation contract. |
be_get_text(doc_type, year, month, day, numac, language="fr") | The verbatim consolidated text ("Texte"/"Tekst" section) in fr (default), nl or de. |
be_list_year(doc_type, year) | Browse a year's listing for one doc_type, to discover NUMAC coordinates. Titles in this listing are best-effort (may be None); call be_get_act for the authoritative title. |
be_coverage() | Declare what this connector covers, when each family was captured, and - explicitly - what it does NOT cover. Every gap carries a fallback. |
There is no free-text search: ejustice.just.fgov.be exposes no keyword-search API. Discover
acts by ELI coordinates (from a citation you already hold) or by browsing be_list_year.
ejustice.just.fgov.be is keyless. Configuration is optional:
| Variable | Meaning |
|---|---|
BE_ELI_BASE_URL | ejustice host (default https://www.ejustice.just.fgov.be). |
BE_ELI_CACHE_DIR | Disk cache dir (default ~/.matematic/cache/be-eli). |
BE_ELI_AUDIT_DIR | Audit log dir (default ~/.matematic/audit). |
Copy .mcp.json.example to your MCP client config.
py -3.13 -m venv .venv
.\.venv\Scripts\python.exe -m pip install -e ".[dev]" # Windows
# or: python -m pip install -e ".[dev]" # POSIX
Smart App Control blocks unsigned executables, which covers uvx.exe, pip.exe
and the be-eli-mcp.exe launcher that pip writes at install time. The python.exe and
py.exe from the python.org installer are signed by the Python Software
Foundation, so running the module through the interpreter works:
python -m pip install be-eli-mcp
python -m be_eli_mcp
pip.exe is blocked for the same reason, so install with python -m pip, not
pip install. If python is not on PATH, use the Windows launcher: py -3 -m be_eli_mcp.
{ "mcpServers": { "be-eli-mcp": { "command": "python", "args": ["-m", "be_eli_mcp"] } } }
Do not turn Smart App Control off to work around this - it cannot be re-enabled without reinstalling Windows.
