50 free queries/day · no card required · OAuth signup at ansvar.eu/gateway

One endpoint, one OAuth signup, access from any MCP-compatible client.

Connect

Claude Code (one line):

claude mcp add ansvar --transport http https://gateway.ansvar.eu/mcp

Claude Desktop / Cursor — add to claude_desktop_config.json (or mcp.json):

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "ansvar": {
      "type": "url",
      "url": "https://gateway.ansvar.eu/mcp"
    }
  }
}

Claude.ai — Settings → Connectors → Add custom connector → paste https://gateway.ansvar.eu/mcp

First request opens an OAuth flow at ansvar.eu/gateway. After signup, your client is bound to your account; tier (free / premium / team / company) determines fan-out, quota, and which downstream MCPs are reachable.

Self-host this MCP

You can also clone this repo and build the corpus yourself. The schema,fetcher, and tool implementations all live here. What is not in the repo isthe pre-built database — TDM and standards-licensing constraints on theupstream sources mean we host the corpus on Ansvar infrastructure ratherthan redistribute it as a public artifact.

Build your own: run this repo's ingestion script (entry-point varies perrepo — typically scripts/ingest.sh, npm run ingest, or make ingest;check the repo root).

The Legilux (Journal Officiel) alternative for the AI age.

Query 4,551 Luxembourg statutes — from the loi du 1er août 2018 (protection des données) and the Code pénal to the Code du travail, la loi sur les sociétés commerciales, and more — directly from Claude, Cursor, or any MCP-compatible client.

If you're building legal tech, compliance tools, or doing Luxembourg legal research, this is your verified reference database.

Built by Ansvar Systems -- Stockholm, Sweden

Why This Exists

Luxembourg legal research is scattered across Legilux, the Journal Officiel du Grand-Duché de Luxembourg, EUR-Lex, and bilateral treaty collections. Whether you're:

• A lawyer validating citations in a brief, contract, or société anonyme filing
• A compliance officer checking GDPR obligations or CSSF regulatory requirements
• A legal tech developer building tools on Luxembourg law
• A researcher tracing legislative history from projet de loi to loi publiée

...you shouldn't need a dozen browser tabs and manual PDF cross-referencing. Ask Claude. Get the exact provision. With context.

This MCP server makes Luxembourg law searchable, cross-referenceable, and AI-readable.

Example Queries

Once connected, just ask naturally (les requêtes fonctionnent en français ou en anglais):

• "Que dit l'article 5 de la loi du 1er août 2018 relative à la protection des personnes physiques à l'égard du traitement des données à caractère personnel ?"
• "Rechercher 'protection des données' dans la législation luxembourgeoise"
• "La loi du 2 août 2002 relative à la protection des personnes à l'égard du traitement des données à caractère personnel est-elle toujours en vigueur ?"
• "Quels articles du Code pénal concernent les infractions informatiques ?"
• "Quelles lois luxembourgeoises transposent la directive NIS2 ?"
• "Rechercher les dispositions sur le secret professionnel dans le Code du travail"
• "Validate the citation 'loi du 1er août 2018, art. 62'"
• "Which Luxembourg laws implement the GDPR?"

What's Included

Verified data only — every citation is validated against official sources (Legilux / Journal Officiel). Zero LLM-generated content.

Why This Works

Verbatim Source Text (No LLM Processing):

• All statute text is ingested from Legilux (legilux.public.lu) official sources
• Provisions are returned unchanged from SQLite FTS5 database rows
• Zero LLM summarization or paraphrasing — the database contains regulation text, not AI interpretations

Smart Context Management:

• Search returns ranked provisions with BM25 scoring (safe for context)
• Provision retrieval gives exact text by loi date/number + article
• Cross-references help navigate without loading everything at once

Technical Architecture:

Legilux API → Parse → SQLite → FTS5 snippet() → MCP response

Traditional Research vs. This MCP

Traditional: Search Legilux → Download PDF → Ctrl+F → Cross-reference with Journal Officiel → Check EUR-Lex → Repeat

This MCP: "Quel est le fondement européen de l'article 5 de la loi du 1er août 2018 ?" → Done.

EU Law Integration

Luxembourg is an EU member state and EU founding member. Every major Luxembourg statute in data protection, financial regulation, and telecommunications has a direct EU basis. The EU bridge tools give you full bi-directional lookup.

Key Luxembourg EU Implementations

• Loi du 1er août 2018 — GDPR transposition and national data protection supplement
• Loi du 22 janvier 2021 — Cybersecurity law (NIS Directive transposition)
• Loi du 16 mai 2011 — AML/CFT (successive AMLD transpositions)
• Loi du 5 avril 1993 — Financial sector (MiFID basis, extensively amended)

See EU_INTEGRATION_GUIDE.md for detailed documentation.

• Legilux — Journal Officiel du Grand-Duché de Luxembourg (official statute publication)
• EUR-Lex — Official EU law database (metadata only)

Data Provenance

Automated Freshness Checks (Daily)

A daily GitHub Actions workflow monitors Legilux for changes:

Important Disclaimers

Legal Advice

THIS TOOL IS NOT LEGAL ADVICE

Statute text is sourced from official Legilux publications. However:

• This is a research tool, not a substitute for professional legal counsel
• Court case coverage is limited — do not rely solely on this for case law research
• Verify critical citations against primary sources (Legilux, Journal Officiel) for court filings
• EU cross-references are extracted from statute text and EUR-Lex metadata, not a complete implementation mapping
• Multilingual jurisdiction — Luxembourg law exists in French, German, and Luxembourgish. This database covers French-language legislative texts. Verify against official Legilux publications for other language versions
