Query Finnish statutes from Finlex, EU cross-references, case law, and preparatory works
Query Finnish statutes from Finlex, EU cross-references, case law, and preparatory works. That is what the finnish mcp server brings to an AI assistant: the same capability, reachable through the Model Context Protocol rather than a separate app or dashboard.
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 Swedish law -- turns out everyone building for the Swedish market has the same research frustrations.
The server publishes 14 tools. What each one is for:
search_legislation — FTS5 search on 31,198 provisions with BM25 rankingget_provision — Retrieve specific provision by SFS + chapter/sectionsearch_case_law — FTS5 search on case law with court/date filtersget_preparatory_works — Get linked propositions and SOUs for a statutevalidate_citation — Validate citation against database (zero-hallucination check)build_legal_stance — Aggregate citations from statutes, case law, prep worksformat_citation — Format citations per Swedish conventions (full/short/pinpoint)check_currency — Check if statute is in force, amended, or repealedget_eu_basis — Get EU directives/regulations for Swedish statuteget_swedish_implementations — Find Swedish laws implementing EU actsearch_eu_implementations — Search EU documents with Swedish implementation countsget_provision_eu_basis — Get EU law references for specific provisionThe server ships on npm as @anthropic/mcp-inspector, so your MCP client can launch it on demand — there is no separate build step. Add the server block to your client's configuration, restart it, and the tools register themselves.
Among the database access options, the useful question is rarely "what can it do" but "what does it cost you to run" — permissions, credentials, and how much of your context its toolset consumes. Finnish's toolset — search_legislation, get_provision, search_case_law 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.
This entry was verified against Finnish's own documentation before publication; SyncDev keeps the directory reviewed rather than auto-generated.
