OpenMercantil Legal API

Spanish mercantile-law layer (derecho mercantil): legislation corpus + article texts + act→norm bridge. Distributes the consolidated BOE legal corpus structured by OpenMercantil so LLMs and agents can cite it as a source. License: consolidated text from the BOE, reused under Ley 37/2007 (re-use of public sector information); the official version is always boe.es. Informational only — NOT legal advice. Court judgments are NOT exposed here (CENDOJ is kept as a citation-index only, per CGPJ…

  x-contract-status: Public read, browser-account and provider-callback surfaces are explicitly separated in this contract. Operator/admin routes are excluded. The public MCP consumes only the allowlisted GET read plane.
  x-account-segment-contract:
    projection: company_public_v2 immutable corporate sidecar
    synchronous_row_cap: 500
    bounded_count_cap: 50001
    count_semantics: The segment run response count is the number of rows returned, never a global total. Dataset preview uses total_is_lower_bound=true and total_lower_bound when the bounded count reaches 50001.

  x-company-identity-contract:
    version: '1.0'
    projection: company_public_v2 immutable generation-bound corporate sidecar
    applies_to: Every /api/v1/company/{slug}*, /api/v1/empresa/{slug}* and /api/v1/grafo/{slug} read before any report, cache, graph or dataset lookup. /api/v1/companies/compare resolves both requested subjects in one bounded company_public_v2 batch before either row is exposed; MCP company tools inherit these preflights through REST.
    resolution:
      published: canonical corporate slug admitted
      safe_alias: internally canonicalized and Content-Location emitted
      withheld: neutral 404; includes absent, personal and ambiguous/quarantined identities
      unavailable: 503 with no-store; clients must not infer absence
    search: Exact corporate CIF, exact canonical/safe-alias slug, or bounded name_prefix2 pool scored in application code. DNI/NIE and ambiguous CIFs return zero items.
