LexSocket MCP Servers

Welcome to the LexSocket MCP Servers user guide! This documentation helps you use our MCP servers to search EU legal documents, above-threshold procurement tenders (TED), and below-threshold national procurement tenders.

What are MCP Servers?

MCP (Model Context Protocol) servers provide a standardized way for AI agents and applications to access specialized data sources. Our servers give you access to:

  • EurLex MCP Server: Search EU legal documents, regulations, and case law
  • TED MCP Server: Search EU above-threshold public procurement tenders (Tenders Electronic Daily)
  • National Tenders MCP Server: Search below-threshold national procurement tenders across FR, GB, DE, ES, and NL
