Fr Judilibre MCP server

@pipeworx/fr-judilibre

French judicial decisions (Cour de cassation and the judicial courts it indexes) — search, read a decision's full pseudonymised text and structural zones, and resolve the short codes the source uses (jurisdiction, chamber, formation, type, solution, publication) into their French labels. Each decision's cited texts (visa) come with a best-effort {code, article} parse for chaining into @pipeworx/france-legi's frcodearticle.

Part of Pipeworx — an MCP gateway connecting AI agents to 1866+ live data sources. This is an independent, unofficial integration — not affiliated with, endorsed by, or published by the upstream provider.

Every tool needs a PISTE application key, held as a gateway platform key (never in pack source). Without one the tools say so explicitly instead of returning an empty result.

Tools

— full-text + filtered search over the published open-data corpus. Returns decision ids, summaries, highlighted snippets.

• frjudilibresearch(query?, jurisdiction?, chamber?, formation?, type?, theme?, publication?, solution?, datestart?, dateend?, page?, page_size?)

structural zones (character offsets into text), visa (cited texts) with cited_articles best-effort linked to france-legi, related decisions (contested/forward/rapprochements), attached files.

• frjudilibredecision(id, resolve_references?) — one decision's full text,

short codes the other two tools use into their French labels (or the reverse), or lists the taxonomy categories when id is omitted.

• frjudilibretaxonomy(id?, key?, value?, context_value?) — resolves the

Auth

Platform key (PLATFORMJUDILIBREKEY, read from _apiKey) — not wired yet. PISTE registration gates access beyond simple keyless signup: an application must additionally tick the Judilibre API and accept its own CGU (separate from the PISTE account CGU), once for sandbox and once for production — a second click-through, not a second approval step. No identity verification, phone, SIRET or human review was found anywhere in the flow (account creation, application creation, or API subscription) as of 2026-10-16.

Data sources

the state's PISTE API gateway — never named in a tool description or source field (CLAUDE.md 9b); the route lives only in src/index.ts.

• Cour de cassation, Judilibre open data (judicial decisions). Served through

attribution — the same licence already governing @pipeworx/france-legi), plus the PISTE portal's own terms of use and a Judilibre-specific terms of reuse document published by the Cour de cassation. The exact text of that last document could not be retrieved verbatim during this build (the courdecassation.fr page returned no extractable content); its existence and the licence stack above it are confirmed from the API's own OpenAPI spec and data.gouv.fr's dataset page.

• Reuse: Licence Ouverte / Open Licence 2.0 (permits commercial reuse with

Implementation notes

OAuth bearer — simpler than most PISTE APIs, which also offer an OAuth client id/secret.

• Auth header is KeyId: (an OpenAPI apiKey-in-header scheme), not

field. cited_articles recognises two citation phrasings actually seen in Cour de cassation prose ("article 1382 du code civil" and "code civil, art. 1382") and marks anything else parsed: false rather than guessing. The Légifrance article id embedded in url (LEGIARTI…/LEGITEXT…) is always passed through regardless of whether the title parsed.

• visa entries are { id, url, title } with no structured code/article

for publication, not every decision ever rendered — frjudilibresearch says so in its completeness_note.

• The published open-data corpus mirrors what the Cour de cassation selects

• Source: Cour de cassation, Judilibre open data (judicial decisions), read per request; dataasof is the date of the call.
