Romanian MCP Server

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

Local serverstdioTypeScript

What is the Romanian MCP server?

If you already use Romanian, the romanian mcp server is the piece that lets your assistant work with it directly. Romanian 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 Romanian law -- turns out everyone building for the CEE and EU markets has the same research frustrations.

  • A lawyer validating citations before the Înalta Curte de Casație și Justiție (ICCJ) or Curtea Constituțională
  • A compliance officer checking GDPR implementation under Legea 190/2018 or NIS2 requirements
  • A legal tech developer building tools on Romanian law
  • A researcher tracing EU directive transposition across 12,001 statutes

Available tools

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 112,257 provisions with BM25 ranking. Supports Romanian, quoted phrases, boolean operators, prefix wildcards
  • get_provision — Retrieve specific provision by statute identifier + article (e.g., "Legea 190/2018" + "5")
  • check_currency — Check if a statute is in force, amended, or repealed
  • validate_citation — Validate citation against database -- zero-hallucination check
  • build_legal_stance — Aggregate citations from multiple statutes for a legal topic
  • format_citation — Format citations per Romanian conventions (full/short/pinpoint)
  • list_sources — List all available statutes with metadata, coverage scope, and data provenance
  • about — Server info, capabilities, dataset statistics, and coverage summary
  • get_eu_basis — Get EU directives/regulations for a Romanian statute
  • get_romanian_implementations — Find Romanian laws implementing a specific EU act
  • search_eu_implementations — Search EU documents with Romanian implementation counts
  • get_provision_eu_basis — Get EU law references for a specific provision

Installation

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.

Where it fits

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. Romanian's toolset — search_legislation, get_provision, check_currency 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 Romanian's own documentation before publication; SyncDev keeps the directory reviewed rather than auto-generated.

Worth knowing first

  • It runs with your machine's permissions. That is convenient and also the reason to think about what you point it at before you approve a tool call.
  • With 14 tools registered it takes up a noticeable share of the context window; turn it off in projects that never touch Romanian.
  • Keep per-call confirmation enabled while you learn its behaviour; it is the cheapest safeguard you have.

Frequently asked questions
