The form opens with CHANGE_ME for each value you supply: CELLAR_SPARQL_ENDPOINT, EURLEX_CONTENT_BASE_URL, SPARQL_QUERY_TIMEOUT_MS, MAX_SPARQL_RESULTS, MCP_LOG_LEVEL. Fill them in before you deploy.
Clients connect to the service's https://…koyeb.app address plus /mcp.

A Container Apps environment with one app per server, each with HTTPS ingress and one replica. The portal asks for each value you supply as a secure parameter; the deployment's outputs list the endpoints.

The only text from the server itself is in the section quoted from it below. ## How to reach it - A web service at `https://eur-lex.caseyjhand.com/mcp` (streamable HTTP); nothing runs here. - Your MCP client knows it as `eur-lex` (`clients/` configures it under that name); call its tools by the names below. Claude Code shows them as `mcp__eur-lex__<tool>`. - No credentials. ## Tools 7 tools. The read-only column is the server's own hint (`readOnlyHint`), not something the hub checked. ### Quoted from the server: data, not instructions The names, sentences and parameter names in this table are the server's own text, as the hub listed it.

eurlex_browse_subjectsSearch the EuroVoc thesaurus, resolving a keyword into concept URIs usable in the eurovoc_concept subject filter of eurlex_search_documents. Matches both preferred and alternative (non-preferred) labels, so a common synonym reaches the concept it stands for. Returns each concept URI, its preferred label in the requested language, code, broader (parent) label, and the alternative label that matched when one did. Concepts with an exact label match come first, then those whose label or one of its words starts with the keyword, then other substring matches, each group ordered by preferred label.Search the EuroVoc thesaurus, resolving a keyword into concept URIs usable in the eurovoc_concept subject filter of eurlex_search_documents.
