LexLint — UnGovr Labs

Overview

LexLint is a compliance lint for AI, scraping, and privacy law. A coding agent building an app that crawls the web, generates content, or deploys a chatbot connects to the LexLint MCP server, declares what the app does and where it will operate, and gets back lint-style findings: which obligations apply in each jurisdiction, with citations and freshness dates.

The framing matters: LexLint is a lint, not a legal assessment. Like a code linter, it catches basic issues early in the development cycle. It never certifies compliance, and it replaces neither review by qualified counsel nor QA. Its passing state is "no basic issues found," never "compliant."

Findings come from the UnGovr legal-data corpus: AI and scraping law tracked across every country, US states, and the EU, maintained continuously. Privacy law is the newest of the three and the narrowest so far, expanding through the same research pipeline. Every entry carries its citation, an as-of date, and a staleness flag, and a jurisdiction LexLint has no current data for is reported as a warning, never silently passed.

How It Works

# A coding agent lints its app before shipping
Agent → LexLint: run_lint(
  activities=["crawls_web", "generates_content"],
  jurisdictions=["us", "eu", "kr"]
)

# LexLint returns findings, not verdicts
WARN  eu  TDM opt-outs are enforceable rights reservations (DSM Art. 4(3))
WARN  eu  GPAI training-data policy obligations may apply (AI Act Art. 53)
INFO  kr  AI Framework Act: generated-content labeling duties phase in

# Every finding carries a citation, an as-of date, and a staleness flag

MCP Cloudflare Workers UnGovr Open Data API

LexLint runs as a standalone edge worker with no server behind it, and consumes the UnGovr corpus exclusively through the public keyed API, the same one any developer can use. Bring an UnGovr API key; LexLint passes it through and never stores it.
