Ansvar — Claude Code MCP server: legal research setup
Search legal sources, regulations, standards, and threat intelligence through an MCP connection that returns citations. Useful when an agent needs source-backed compliance or security research.
claude mcp add --transport http gateway https://gateway.ansvar.eu/mcpWhat Ansvar: EU Compliance & Legal Intelligence does
Ansvar Gateway gives an agent access to legal materials, regulatory acts, standards, and threat data. Use search to find relevant provisions; get_provision and get_decision retrieve the text of a specific rule or court decision. Results include source details such as the URL, publisher, and licence.
Available material includes GDPR, NIS2, DORA, the AI Act, and CRA. Paid plans add case-law searches, agency guidance, and workflows for DPIAs, threat modelling, and gap analysis. Connection uses OAuth 2.1, so there is no API key to configure. When a source cannot be reached, the gateway returns an error rather than answering from model memory; the requested source must be available.
What it helps with
- find relevant GDPR or NIS2 provisions
- retrieve the exact text of a referenced legal provision
- check which legal corpora cover a jurisdiction
- prepare a DPIA or gap analysis on a paid plan
Example prompts for the agent
- Search for GDPR requirements on personal data processing and cite the sources.
- Retrieve the exact text of this provision and identify its source.
- Prepare a cited DPIA using the available materials.
