No MCP client? Call it directly: GET https://gateway.pipeworx.io/v1/tools/br_law_search for the schema, then POST the same URL with its arguments for the data.

Search Brazilian federal legislation (leis, leis complementares, decretos-lei, decretos, medidas provisórias, emendas constitucionais, decretos legislativos). Give type + number + year to find one norm (e.g. type LEI, number 13709, year 2018), or a Portuguese keyword in query (matched against the title line and popular name, e.g. “proteção de dados”, “licitações”) with year or year_from/year_to to bound the scan (default: the last 8 years; the response says which years were scanned). Returns norm (id like “LEI-13709-2018-08-14”), code, title, summary line (ementa) and signature date; pair with br_law_get for the text.

Parameters

`query`	string	no	Portuguese keyword or phrase, e.g. “proteção de dados”
`type`	string	no	LEI, LCP (complementar), DEL (decreto-lei), DEC (decreto), MPV, EMC (emenda constitucional), DLG (decreto legislativo)
`number`	number	no	Norm number, e.g. 13709
`year`	number	no	Year of signature, e.g. 2018
