  title: legal.ge Public Directory API
  version: 1.2.0
  summary: Find verified legal specialists in Georgia (the country) from natural-language queries.
  description: Read-only API for finding verified Georgian legal specialists. Designed for AI agents (Perplexity, ChatGPT, Claude, Custom GPTs, MCP servers) and third-party integrations. Supports Georgian, English, and Russian. Sending an inquiry requires sign-in on legal.ge and is not exposed here. The text of Georgian laws is free to AI agents through /api/law/* (rate-limited; cite the canonical URL and name the official source, matsne, the Legislative Herald of Georgia). A remote MCP endpoint (Streamable HTTP, stateless) at /api/mcp exposes the same tools.
