What is the Irish MCP Server?

Irish legislation via MCP — full-text search across statutes and provisions

What the server does

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.

  • A solicitor or barrister validating citations in a brief or contract
  • A compliance officer checking if a statute is still in force or amended
  • A legal tech developer building tools on Irish law
  • A researcher tracing legislative provisions across 3,972 statutes
