What is the Finnish MCP Server?

Query Finnish statutes from Finlex, EU cross-references, case law, and preparatory works

The short version

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.

  • A lawyer validating citations in a brief or contract
  • A compliance officer checking if a statute is still in force
  • A legal tech developer building tools on Swedish law
  • A researcher tracing legislative history from proposition to statute
