They ask their agent to first use `list_subjects` to confirm the correct subject code, then run `search_consolidated_legislation` with that term, and finally pull all resulting documents using `get_legislation_text` for a full audit. ### Mapping corporate legal history A law firm needs to understand if their client's current operating procedure violates an older norm. They run the consolidated ID through `list_previous_relations` and then check `get_legislation_analysis` to see which specific rules are affected by recent changes. ### Quickly reviewing a single article A legal scholar is reading about property rights. Instead of slogging through 50 pages, they ask the agent for `get_legislation_block` using the specific article ID. This instantly delivers only that small piece of text. ### Understanding a law's structure A policy analyst receives a massive new legal document and needs to quickly grasp its internal organization. They use `get_legislation_text_index` first, which breaks the document down into navigable sections before they read anything. ## Benefits - Track daily changes across the board. Instead of checking multiple websites, use `get_boe_summary` or `get_borme_summary` to get a single index of all new publications for both the BOE and BORME. - Go beyond simple searches. If you need to know how Law X interacts with Law Y, run an analysis using `list_previous_relations` and `list_posterior_relations`. It maps out every legal predecessor or successor instantly. - Stop reading dense PDFs. Use `get_legislation_text_index` first; it gives you a structural map of the law, letting you know exactly which sections to focus on before requesting the full text with `get_legislation_text`. - Understand the context immediately. Using `get_legislation_analysis`, your agent doesn't just read the words, it tells you what subject areas (like 'Public Finance') or general types of law apply to that document. - Verify the source and structure. Tools like `get_legislation_eli_metadata` pull official European identifiers, giving you verifiable data points critical for compliance reporting. ## How It Works The bottom line is that you talk naturally about Spanish law, and this MCP handles all the complex database lookups and retrieval. 1. Subscribe to this MCP and enable public access via your AI client. 2. Ask your agent a question, like 'What was published in the BOE on October 1st?' 3. Your agent uses the appropriate tool to fetch the data and presents you with the actionable results. ## Frequently Asked Questions **How can I see all the laws and decrees published in the BOE on a specific date?** Use the `get_boe_summary` tool by providing the date in YYYYMMDD format. The agent will return the full index of documents and sections published on that day. **Can I search for the most recent version of a specific law like the Civil Code?** Yes! You can use `search_consolidated_legislation` with a query like 'Código Civil' to find the latest updated version, or use `get_legislation_text` if you already have the ID (e.g., BOE-A-1889-4763). **Is it possible to retrieve only a specific article of a law instead of the whole text?** Absolutely. First, use `get_legislation_text_index` to find the block ID for the article you need, then use `get_legislation_block` to fetch only that specific content. **When I need to know what a law impacts, how do I use `list_posterior_relations`?** It lists every subsequent norm that references or is modified by the target legislation. This tool provides crucial insight into compliance dependencies and legal ripple effects. **If I need official European Identifiers, how does calling `get_legislation_eli_metadata` help me?** It fetches the formal ELI metadata for any given consolidated law ID. This ensures you are using universally recognized identifiers required for deep legal mapping and structured data handling. **Before I search, how do I understand the available legal contexts or categories using `list_scopes`?** This function provides a list of auxiliary scopes, allowing you to narrow down your research scope immediately. It helps filter out irrelevant laws and focuses your queries on the exact legal domain you need. **If I want an overview of a law's structure without fetching the full text, should I use `get_legislation_text_index`?** Yes. This tool generates a detailed index by mapping out the structural hierarchy (articles and sections) of a consolidated law. It gives you the blueprint before committing to massive data retrieval. **What’s the practical difference between calling `get_boe_summary` versus `get_borme_summary`?** The summary tools are specific: `get_boe_summary` retrieves daily publications from the Official State Gazette, while `get_borme_summary` pulls records specifically from the Mercantile Registry.
