An MCP server for the Irish Statute Book (irishstatutebook.ie), the official source of
Irish legislation. It grounds Irish acts and statutory instruments (SIs) by year + number,
returning metadata and the full enacted text, with verifiable ELI identifiers and Irish citations.
Part of the MateMatic eu-legal-mcp production line - after PL, DE, AT, ES and FI. Same citation
contract, Irish Statute Book source.
Scope. This MVP grounds the ENACTED text of acts and SIs by coordinates (year + number + type). The Irish Statute Book has no keyword-search API here, so discovery is by citation (Irish citations give the coordinates, e.g. "No. 7 of 2018"). Revised/consolidated versions are separate and not covered. Every response carries a
dataset_note.Licence. Irish Statute Book content is official public information. This connector relays it with attribution and a
source_url.
The tools
| Tool | What it does |
|---|---|
ie_get_act |
Metadata for an act or SI by year + number + type. |
ie_get_text |
Full enacted text (html or xml). |
Every response carries the contract: eli_uri (e.g.
https://www.irishstatutebook.ie/eli/2018/act/7/enacted/en), human_readable_citation
(e.g. DATA PROTECTION ACT 2018 (No. 7 of 2018)), and source_url.

Governance
- Public data only - read-only against the Irish Statute Book; no client data leaves the machine.
- Audit log - every tool call appends one JSON line to
~/.matematic/audit/ie-eli-mcp.jsonl. - Vendor-neutral - talks only to
irishstatutebook.ie; no LLM provider, no telemetry. - Verifiable citations - every response is independently checkable via
source_url.
See CONSTITUTION.md and DISCOVERY.md.
Tests
pip install -e ".[dev]"
