## Foreword
This server empowers models with scraping capacities, thus making research easier to anyone 
legitimately interested in Brazilian legal matters. 

This facility comes with a price: the risk of overloading the official sources' servers if misused.
Please be sure to keep the load on the sources to a reasonable amount.

## Requirements

- git
- uv (recommended) or Python >= 3.12
- Google Chrome

1. Clone the repository:
```bash
git clone https://github.com/pdmtt/brlaw_mcp_server.git
```

2. Install the dependencies

## Development

### Tooling

The project uses:
- Ruff for linting and formatting.
- BasedPyright for type checking.
- Pytest for testing.

### Language

Resources, tools and prompts related stuff must be written in Portuguese, because this project aims 
to be used by non-dev folks, such as lawyers and law students. 

Technical legal vocabulary is highly dependent on a country's legal tradition and translating it is 
no trivial task.

Development related stuff should stick to English as conventional, such as source code.
