Connect via MCP

LawDB exposes its holdings as an MCP server. A language model can search it, retrieve full texts including paragraph numbers, and read individual provisions.

Endpoints

Full tool set (Claude, Claude Code, generic clients): https://lawdb.eu/mcp
ChatGPT connector (search / fetch): https://lawdb.eu/mcp/chatgpt

Claude: sign in with OAuth

Add the endpoint in Claude as a connector. Claude discovers the sign-in flow on its own, shows a consent screen and stores the token. A LawDB account is all you need.

ChatGPT and scripts: sign in with a token

Create a personal access token with the "mcp:use" ability under Account and supply it as a bearer token.

Authorization: Bearer <your token>

What the server does

search_legal_documents — Search legislation and case law, filtered by jurisdiction, document type, judgment vs Opinion, court and date range. Full-text and vector search run together.
get_document — Full text of a decision or act in the language you pick, with paragraph numbers preserved and the AI summary where one exists.
search_provisions — Search inside a single act, named by short name, ELI, CELEX or the id of a search result. Returns every matching provision with its link, page by page — and for acts held as one continuous text, the passages in the wording.
get_provision — A single provision, addressed by its official marker.
list_jurisdictions — Valid filter values: jurisdictions, languages, courts.

Notes on citing

Paragraph numbers appear as [Rn. 42] in the text and are the citation unit. Where a source carries none, the response says so explicitly.
AI summaries exist in German or English only, regardless of the language of the text. They are machine-generated and validated against verbatim quotations from the source.
EU documents exist in up to 24 language versions; every response lists the ones held.
