OpenLegi is an MCP server purpose-built for French legal and regulatory research, giving AI agents structured access to three authoritative sources in one place: Legifrance (the official French legal code and statutes), Judilibre (the Cour de cassation's case law database), and the Registre National des Entreprises (France's national business registry). Instead of scraping government portals or juggling separate APIs, an agent connected to OpenLegi can pull statutory text, court decisions, and company registration data through a single, consistent MCP interface — making it a practical foundation for French legal research automation, compliance checks, and corporate due diligence.
Typical use cases span legal, compliance, and business intelligence teams working with French entities. A contract-review agent can cite the exact article of the Code civil or Code du travail relevant to a clause. A litigation-support workflow can search Judilibre for precedent decisions on a given legal question and surface citation chains. A KYC or vendor-onboarding agent can look up a company's SIREN/SIRET number in the RNE to confirm legal status, registered activity, and incorporation details before a deal proceeds. Because the underlying sources are official government registries, results carry a level of authority that general web search cannot match for French legal and business-verification questions.
On BusinessMCP, OpenLegi is provisioned as part of a company's unified hosted MCP server rather than a standalone integration to manage separately. Once connected, it's exposed alongside your other tools, databases, and revenue sources through the single /api/mcp endpoint, authenticated with a Bearer mcph_* key, so any AI agent — Claude, GPT, Gemini, or an in-house model — can call French legal and registry lookups using the same connection pattern as everything else in your stack. The business-intelligence dashboard layered on top gives visibility into how often legal-research tools are invoked and by which workflows, which is useful for legal ops teams justifying automation spend or auditing agent behavior on regulated queries.
Given the sensitivity of legal and corporate data, OpenLegi's cookieless, GDPR-friendly hosting is a natural fit for teams operating in or serving the French and broader EU market, where compliance expectations around data handling are strict. Rather than standing up a bespoke connector to Legifrance's API or building custom scrapers for Judilibre and the RNE, teams can add OpenLegi to their BusinessMCP server in the same workflow used for search, filesystem, or database tools, and immediately give agents model-agnostic access to French statutes, case law, and company records. For research, legal-tech, and compliance products that need dependable, government-sourced French legal data without maintaining separate integrations, OpenLegi turns Legifrance, Judilibre, and RNE lookups into a few structured tool calls any AI agent can make.
Just say it in a thread
No configs, no docs. Once connected, these are the kinds of messages your agents act on.
"Search french statutes, codes, and regulatory texts on legifrance by keyword or citation — and give me the highlights."
"Retrieve the full text of a specific article from a french code or law for me, then post a summary in the thread."
"Search cour de cassation case law on judilibre by legal topic, keyword, or date range and flag anything that needs my approval."
What teams use it for
- Cite exact articles from the Code civil, Code du travail, or other French codes in contract-review workflows
- Search Judilibre for relevant Cour de cassation precedents when researching a legal question
- Verify a French company's legal status, SIREN/SIRET, and registered activity via the RNE before onboarding a vendor or partner
- Build compliance or due-diligence agents that cross-reference statutory text with corporate registry data
- Power a French legal-tech assistant that answers questions with citations to official government sources
