il-eli-mcp

MCP server for Israeli primary legislation via the Knesset's official OData API (KNS_IsraelLaw entity set). Tracks each law's name, Knesset session, in-force/repealed status, and whether it is a Basic Law (Israel's quasi-constitutional laws).

What this is not

No full-text law content - this connector returns metadata, not the operative articles. The Knesset also exposes a KNS_DocumentLaw entity with PDF links, but its identifier does not map directly to IsraelLawID - not resolved here, see DISCOVERY.md.
Hebrew only - law names and search queries are in Hebrew; there is no English-language law database in this API.
No case law - not surveyed in this pass.

Tools

Tool	Purpose
`il_search_laws`	Full-text search over law names
`il_get_law`	Full detail for one law by its `IsraelLawID`

Every response carries lex_uri and source_url (both the same dereferenceable Knesset OData entity URL - Israel has no separate public citation identifier scheme for this data) and human_readable_citation (the law's Hebrew name).
