Share this MCP Server across your entire engineering team

The `search_process_by_number` tool becomes instantly accessible to your whole team when configured in VS Code Copilot. By committing the configuration to your repository, every developer queries live Brazilian court cases without individual API setups. This eliminates credentials management headaches. Your developers get immediate access to judicial data while working on legal tech integration tasks.

Run complex Datajud queries inside VS Code Copilot Chat

The `search_processes_advanced` tool allows developers to test complex Elasticsearch queries directly from the chat interface. You don't need to open external API clients or write throwaway test scripts to check query syntax. Copilot processes the response payload and helps you map the returned court fields to your application's data models. This speeds up the development of Brazilian legal integrations.

Query specific court branches directly from the editor

The `search_processes_by_class_and_organ` tool lets your team filter legal records by court level and procedural type. You can easily isolate data from specific state courts like TJSP or federal regions like TRF1. These structured outputs help you build accurate mock data or validate your database schemas against actual Brazilian judicial formats.
