What is bazaligjore?

Bazaligjore is a tool that lets AI assistants like Claude research Albanian law correctly. It works using something called MCP, which is a standard way for an AI assistant to connect to outside data sources and use them as tools during a conversation. Once connected, the assistant can search and read from a large collection of Albanian legal documents instead of guessing from what it already knows. The project pulls together three things that do not otherwise exist in one place. First, the Official Gazette, which holds around forty three thousand five hundred laws and legal acts published from the year 2000 onward, with the full text captured through scanning and text recognition. Second, a map of how laws amend or repeal one another over time, so it is possible to trace whether an older law is still in force or has been replaced. Third, roughly one thousand four hundred seventy decisions from Albania's Constitutional Court. All of this is built from Albania's own official government websites, since the country does not have one official combined legal database of its own. Once an assistant is connected to this server, it can search across law text and titles, look up the details and history of a specific law, read through a law's text in sections, follow the chain of amendments to a law with a visual timeline, browse gazette issues by year, and search or read Constitutional Court decisions. There are also built in guides that teach the assistant how to use the material properly, and a way to run simple read only database queries directly. Anyone can connect to the hosted version for free, with no login required, since it only allows reading data, not changing it. Someone who wants to run their own copy needs a recent version of Node.js and a PostgreSQL database set up with the expected structure. The project is released under the MIT license, meaning it can be freely used, copied, and adapted by anyone.
