Examples¶
Explore real-world usage scenarios for the LexSocket MCP Servers. These examples demonstrate how to leverage the EurLex and TED servers through different MCP-compatible clients.
EurLex MCP Server¶
Researching EU Regulations with Claude Desktop¶
Prompt: "What are the EU regulations in force about fertiliser importation?"
In this example, Claude Desktop connects to the EurLex MCP server to answer a regulatory question. The agent autonomously:
- Searches EurLex for fertiliser importation regulations
- Refines the search with more specific terms
- Retrieves the full text of Regulation (EU) 2019/1009
- Searches for import-related provisions within the regulation
- Summarizes the key points of the regulatory framework

Multi-step reasoning
The agent performs multiple tool calls — search_eurlex and get_eurlex_document — to build a comprehensive answer. This showcases how MCP enables AI agents to iteratively explore legal databases.
Same Query with Cherry Studio¶
The same fertiliser importation question can be asked through Cherry Studio, using a different LLM (GLM 4.5 Air via OpenRouter). The EurLex MCP server works with any MCP-compatible client.

Client-agnostic
LexSocket MCP servers follow the open MCP standard. You can use them with Claude Desktop, Cherry Studio, or any other MCP-compatible client.
TED MCP Server¶
Finding Public Procurement Tenders by Region¶
Prompt: "Quels sont les derniers annonces TED pour la region nord pas de calais"
This example shows the TED MCP server responding to a query in French, searching for the latest procurement notices in the Nord-Pas-de-Calais region. The agent returns structured results including:
- Tender title and contracting authority
- Estimated contract value
- Scope of work
- Submission deadlines

Multilingual support
The TED server handles queries in any language. EU procurement notices are published in multiple languages, and the server can search and return results accordingly.
National Tenders MCP Server¶
Searching Below-Threshold Tenders Across Countries¶
Prompt: "Find active IT services tenders in France and the UK under 100,000 EUR"
The National Tenders server searches below-threshold procurement opportunities across multiple national platforms. The agent can:
- Search across France (BOAMP), UK (Contracts Finder), Germany, Spain, and the Netherlands
- Filter by value range, CPV code, NUTS region, and status
- Browse upcoming deadlines to prioritize submissions
- Find similar tenders to expand opportunity discovery
Example: Search active tenders by CPV code
{
"method": "search_by_cpv",
"params": {
"cpv_code": "72000000",
"country": "FR",
"status": "active",
"limit": 5
}
}
Example: Browse upcoming deadlines in the UK
Example: Find tenders from a specific buyer
Combine with TED
Use both TED and National Tenders together for full procurement coverage. TED covers above-threshold EU tenders, while National Tenders covers smaller contracts published on national platforms.
Client Configuration¶
Claude Desktop¶
Add the following to your Claude Desktop MCP configuration (claude_desktop_config.json):
{
"mcpServers": {
"eurlex": {
"url": "https://eurlex.lexsocket.ai/mcp"
},
"ted": {
"url": "https://ted.lexsocket.ai/"
},
"national_tenders": {
"url": "https://national-tenders.lexsocket.ai/"
}
}
}
Cherry Studio¶
Cherry Studio supports MCP servers via its settings panel. Configure a new MCP server with:
| Field | Value |
|---|---|
| Name | MCP Server TED (or MCP Server EurLex) |
| Type | Streamable HTTP (streamableHttp) |
| URL | https://mcp.lexsocket.ai/ted |
| Headers | Content-Type=application/jsonx-api-key=YOUR_LEXSOCKET_API_KEY |
| Timeout | 60s |

API Key
For Cherry Studio and other third-party clients, you need to include your LexSocket API key in the request headers. Claude Desktop handles authentication differently — refer to the Quick Start guide for details.
