Belgian legislation via MCP — full-text search across statutes and provisions
Belgian legislation via MCP — full-text search across statutes and provisions. Exposed over MCP by the belgian mcp server, that capability becomes something an assistant can invoke while it works, not something you go and do afterwards.
First request opens an OAuth signup flow (setup details: ansvar.eu/docs/quickstart). After signup, your client is bound to your account; tier (free / premium / team / company) determines fan-out, quota, and which downstream MCPs are reachable.
We build AI-accelerated compliance and legal research tools for the European market. This MCP server started as our internal reference tool for Belgian and EU institutional law -- turns out everyone working at the EU-national interface has the same research frustrations.
Everything the assistant can do here goes through one of these:
search_legislation — FTS5 search on 142,743 provisions with BM25 rankingget_provision — Retrieve specific provision by statute identifier + articlevalidate_citation — Validate citation against database (zero-hallucination check)build_legal_stance — Aggregate citations from statutes and agency guidanceformat_citation — Format citations per Belgian conventions (full/short/pinpoint)check_currency — Check if statute is in force, amended, or repealedlist_sources — List all available statutes with metadata and data provenanceabout — Server info, capabilities, dataset statistics, and coverage summaryget_eu_basis — Get EU directives/regulations for Belgian statuteget_belgian_implementations — Find Belgian laws implementing EU actsearch_eu_implementations — Search EU documents with Belgian implementation countsget_provision_eu_basis — Get EU law references for specific provision@anthropic/mcp-inspector on npm is all you need. Most clients run it directly, so configuration is a few lines and a restart.
Plenty of database access servers cover similar ground. The differences that matter in practice are scope of access and how much setup stands between you and a working tool call. Belgian's toolset — search_legislation, get_provision, validate_citation and 11 more — is a fair guide to whether it matches your workflow. It is maintained by eu.ansvar; worth a glance at recent repository activity before you build anything load-bearing on it.
SyncDev reviews every entry in this directory against the project's own documentation before publishing, and revisits them as servers change.
