This project provides a Model Context Protocol (MCP) server for accessing a comprehensive range of Turkish legal databases. It enables LLM applications and other clients to query and retrieve legal documents as tools, significantly streamlining legal research for developers and legal tech professionals.

How It Works

The server acts as a unified interface to multiple Turkish legal data sources, including various courts and regulatory bodies. It leverages different APIs (Dual/Triple API support) and implements advanced filtering for court divisions, dates (ISO 8601), and exact phrase matching. Documents are converted to Markdown for easier processing by LLMs.
