Irish legislation via MCP — full-text search across statutes and provisions
If you already use Irish, the irish mcp server is the piece that lets your assistant work with it directly. Irish legislation via MCP — full-text search across statutes and provisions.
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 Irish law -- turns out everyone building for the Irish and EU markets has the same research frustrations.
The 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.
The toolset is worth reading before you wire it up, because it tells you what the integration is really for:
search_legislation — FTS5 full-text search across 91,528 provisions with BM25 rankingget_provision — Retrieve specific provision by Act short title + section numbervalidate_citation — Validate citation against database -- zero-hallucination checkbuild_legal_stance — Aggregate citations from multiple Acts for a legal topicformat_citation — Format citations per Irish 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 that underpin an Irish statuteget_irish_implementations — Find Irish laws implementing a specific EU actsearch_eu_implementations — Search EU documents with Irish implementation countsget_provision_eu_basis — Get EU law references for a specific provisionThis sits in the database access group, where several servers overlap in what they claim to do but differ sharply once you actually set them up. Irish'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.
This entry was verified against Irish's own documentation before publication; SyncDev keeps the directory reviewed rather than auto-generated.
