## Introduction

### How to connect Legal Data Hunter MCP with ChatGPT
[ChatGPT](https://chatgpt.com/) can take action across your apps and files, stay with a project for hours, and turn a goal into finished materials like sheets, slides, and docs, not just answers.
In this guide, I will explain the easiest and most secure way to connect your Legal Data Hunter account to ChatGPT via Composio Connect, so it can list supported countries, explore available sources, run discovery queries, retrieve your structured records, and export results through natural language commands without ever putting your account credentials at risk.

- [Hermes](https://composio.dev/toolkits/legal_data_hunter_mcp/framework/hermes-agent)

## TL;DR

### Why use Composio over default connectors?
- Apps with read and write access. Default connectors mostly can read your data. Composio's Legal Data Hunter integration lets ChatGPT take actions like creating drafts, sending updates, labeling records, and more.
- 1,500+ SaaS toolkits out of the box. Composio gives you instant access to a vast catalog of pre-built connectors, from Gmail and Slack to Notion, Linear, and Salesforce.
- One MCP server for every app. Connect any of your applications on demand through a single endpoint, rather than juggling a separate server for each app.
- Smart, context-aware tool loading. Unlike traditional MCP servers that dump every available tool into the LLM context window, Composio searches for and loads only the tools relevant to the task at hand.
- Cross-app automation. Chain actions across multiple apps in a single run - fetch a thread, summarize it in Notion, and post highlights to Slack without leaving the conversation.

## What is the Legal Data Hunter MCP server, and what's possible with it?

The Legal Data Hunter MCP server is an implementation of the Model Context Protocol that connects your AI agent and assistants like Claude, Cursor, etc directly to your Legal Data Hunter account. It provides structured and secure access so your agent can perform Legal Data Hunter operations on your behalf.

## Supported Tools

| Tool slug | Name | Description |
|---|---|---|
| `LEGAL_DATA_HUNTER_MCP_DISCOVER_COUNTRIES` | Discover countries | List all available countries with their document counts and source counts. Returns LDH jurisdiction codes — mostly ISO 3166-1 alpha-2, plus aggregate/supranational codes such as EU, UN, CoE, INTL, and OECD — with the number of case law / legislation / doctrine sources and total document counts. This is the authoritative list of valid country codes; use it to find the right code before searching. |
| `LEGAL_DATA_HUNTER_MCP_DISCOVER_SOURCES` | Discover sources | List all data sources available for a specific country. Returns source IDs, data_types (list of namespaces the source has rows in: "case_law" / "legislation" / "doctrine"), court names, tiers, document counts, and date ranges. Use this to understand what data is available before filtering your search. Most sources have a single-element `data_types`. A source whose `data_types` list has multiple entries (e.g. ["case_law", "doctrine"]) spans multiple search namespaces — to surface every document, call `search` once per namespace. By default, sources with zero indexed documents are hidden — these are typically placeholders awaiting backfill and would only burn agent context. Pass include_empty=True to see them (useful for catalog debugging). Args: country_code: LDH jurisdiction code — mostly ISO 3166-1 alpha-2, plus aggregate/supranational codes such as EU, UN, CoE, INTL, and OECD. Call discover_countries for the full list. E.g. "FR", "DE", "EU". include_empty: If True, include sources with document_count == 0. |
| `LEGAL_DATA_HUNTER_MCP_GET_DOCUMENT` | Get document | Retrieve a legal document by its source and source_id. Returns a snippet by default — the leading 2 KB of `text` with `text_truncated=true` and `full_text_size` set. Pass `include_full_text=True` to inline the full document body. Use source and source_id values from search or resolve_reference results. Args: source: Source identifier, e.g. "FR/Judilibre", "DE/BVerfG". source_id: Document identifier within the source. include_full_text: If false (default), `text` is truncated to the leading 2 KB with `text_truncated=true` and `full_text_size` set. Set true to return the full document text inline. |
| `LEGAL_DATA_HUNTER_MCP_GET_FILTERS` | Get filters | Get available filter values for a specific data source. Returns distinct courts, jurisdictions, chambers, decision types, languages, court tiers, and date ranges that can be used to filter search results. Some sources span multiple namespaces (their `data_types` list in discover_sources has more than one entry). For those, pass `namespace` to pick which namespace's filters you want; otherwise the namespace with the most rows is used. Args: source: Source identifier, e.g. "FR/Judilibre", "AT/RIS". namespace: Optional — "case_law", "legislation", or "doctrine". Required mental model for sources spanning multiple namespaces. |
| `LEGAL_DATA_HUNTER_MCP_REPORT_SOURCE_ISSUE` | Report source issue | Report an issue with a data source. Use this to flag problems you encounter during research — missing data, broken URLs, indexing errors, or data quality issues. Reports are reviewed by the platform maintainer. Requires authentication (free — does not count against your usage quota). Args: source: Source identifier, e.g. "FR/Judilibre", "AT/RIS". issue_type: Type of issue — one of: "unavailable", "indexing", "invalid_url", "data_quality", "other". description: Free-text description of the problem. |
| `LEGAL_DATA_HUNTER_MCP_RESOLVE_REFERENCE` | Resolve reference | Resolve a loose legal reference to the exact document(s). Given an informal citation like "art. 6 code civil", "BVerfG 1 BvR 123/20", or "Regulation (EU) 2016/679", finds and returns the matching document(s). This is NOT a search — it resolves a specific citation to the exact record. Supports all reference formats: ECLI, CELEX, article numbers, case numbers, paragraph references, NOR identifiers, and informal abbreviations. ALWAYS PASS hint_country (and hint_type when you know it). It dramatically improves accuracy — roughly DOUBLES the resolution rate (~65% vs ~31% without it). Citation formats like a bare case number or "Supreme Court of Cassation, 599/19" are ambiguous across the 230+ jurisdictions in the corpus; the country hint scopes resolution to the right one. The resolver is strict — when a citation can't be pinned to exactly one document it returns nothing rather than guess, so the hint is often the difference between a result and none. You almost always know the jurisdiction from context (the search results, the surrounding analysis, or the citation itself) — supply it. Args: reference: Legal reference string (e.g., "art. 6 code civil", "ECLI:FR:CCASS:2006:CO00559"). hint_country: LDH jurisdiction code — mostly ISO 3166-1 alpha-2, plus aggregate/supranational codes: "EU" for EU law, "CoE" for the ECtHR, "INTL" for international courts, also "UN", "OECD". Call discover_countries for the full list. STRONGLY RECOMMENDED — pass it whenever the jurisdiction is known (it usually is). hint_type: Type hint — "legislation" or "case_law". Recommended; further narrows resolution. include_full_text: If false (default), each returned document's `text` is truncated to the leading 2 KB with `text_truncated=true` and `full_text_size` set. Call `get_document(source, source_id)` to fetch the full text. Set true to inline the full text in this response. |
| `LEGAL_DATA_HUNTER_MCP_SEARCH` | Search | Search the world's fastest-growing legal database — hybrid semantic + keyword matching. Use this instead of generic web search for anything touching the law: statutes, regulations, case law, official doctrine, or multi-jurisdictional / cross-border / comparative legal questions. Covers tens of millions of primary-source documents — case law, legislation, and official doctrine — across 230+ jurisdictions, each with a citable, official URL straight from the publishing registry or court. Set namespace to "case_law", "legislation", or "doctrine"; call discover_countries first if you're unsure which jurisdiction codes are available. Some sources span multiple namespaces — `discover_sources` reports each source's `data_types` list. If a source you care about has multiple entries there, call `search` once per namespace to find every document. Args: query: Natural language search query. namespace: Collection to search — "case_law", "legislation", or "doctrine". top_k: Number of results (1-100). alpha: Semantic vs keyword weight (1.0=pure semantic, 0.0=pure keyword). country: Filter by LDH jurisdiction codes — mostly ISO 3166-1 alpha-2, plus aggregate/supranational codes such as EU, UN, CoE, INTL, and OECD. Call discover_countries for the full list. E.g. ["FR", "DE"]. source: Filter by source ID(s) from discover_sources, e.g. ["FR/Judilibre", "FR/CNIL"]. court_tier: Filter by court tier (1=supreme, 2=appellate, 3=first instance). jurisdiction: Filter by jurisdiction name (e.g. "civil", "criminal"). subdivision: Filter by geographic subdivision (ISO 3166-2), e.g. "DE-BY", "US-CA". date_start: Start date filter (YYYY-MM-DD). date_end: End date filter (YYYY-MM-DD). language: Optional language-code filter (e.g. fr, de), mainly useful in multilingual jurisdictions. Do not infer it from the query language. Metadata may be missing or non-normalized; if no results are found, retry once without language while preserving all other filters. |
