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

The publisher's own server: Ansvar: Dutch Law

Overview

AI-generated overview

Local MCP server that makes Luxembourg legislation full-text searchable, letting an assistant find provisions, check currency and validate citations.

What you can do
  • Search statutes and provisions with ranked full-text queries, including phrases and boolean operators
  • Retrieve a specific provision by statute reference and article number, and check whether a law is in force, amended or repealed
  • Validate and format citations, and aggregate citations across statutes for a legal topic
  • List available statutes with provenance and coverage, and report server and dataset statistics
  • Look up EU directives and regulations behind a Luxembourg statute, find national implementations of an EU act, and check implementation status
When to use it
Useful for Luxembourg legal research, compliance checks against GDPR, NIS2, DORA or CSSF requirements, citation validation in briefs and filings, and legal-tech or legislative-history work that would otherwise mean cross-referencing Legilux, the Journal Officiel and EUR-Lex by hand.
Requirements
Runs locally over stdio from the npm package @ansvar/luxembourg-law-mcp, so Node.js and npm are needed. No authentication, environment variables or headers are declared. The README says the pre-built corpus is not in the repository and must be built with the ingestion script, which needs network access to Legilux.
Before you install
The README states the pre-built database is hosted by the vendor rather than redistributed, so a self-built corpus requires running ingestion yourself. The README also points to a hosted gateway with OAuth signup and paid tiers; that is a separate remote service, not this local package. Output is a research aid, not legal advice: case law coverage is limited, only French-language texts are covered, and critical citations should be verified against official sources.

Installation

In SourceWeft

  1. Open Luxembourg Law Mcp in the dashboard and add it to a workspace.
  2. Enable the server for the chats that should use its tools.

Desktop only via STDIO. STDIO servers start a local process, so they need the SourceWeft desktop host.

Other MCP clients

Follow the launch instructions in the repository.

README

Luxembourg Law MCP Server

The Luxembourg law corpus is now served through the Ansvar Gateway. Connect your AI assistant (Claude, Copilot, Cursor, custom MCP client) to https://gateway.ansvar.eu/mcp — one OAuth connection, free tier available, covering this corpus plus EU regulations, national law across 28 audited jurisdictions, and CVE/security intelligence, every result with a verbatim source citation. Start at https://ansvar.eu/docs/quickstart

Connect

Claude Code (one line):

bash
claude mcp add ansvar --transport http https://gateway.ansvar.eu/mcp

Claude Desktop / Cursor — add to claude_desktop_config.json (or mcp.json):

json
{  "mcpServers": {    "ansvar": {      "type": "url",      "url": "https://gateway.ansvar.eu/mcp"    }  }}

Claude.ai — Settings → Connectors → Add custom connector → paste https://gateway.ansvar.eu/mcp

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.


Self-host this MCP

You can also clone this repo and build the corpus yourself. The schema, fetcher, and tool implementations all live here. What is not in the repo is the pre-built database — TDM and standards-licensing constraints on the upstream sources mean we host the corpus on Ansvar infrastructure rather than redistribute it as a public artifact.

Build your own: run this repo's ingestion script (entry-point varies per repo — typically scripts/ingest.sh, npm run ingest, or make ingest; check the repo root).

The Legilux (Journal Officiel) alternative for the AI age.

[MCP Registry] [License] [GitHub stars] [CI] [Daily Data Check] [Database] [Provisions]

Query 4,551 Luxembourg statutes — from the loi du 1er août 2018 (protection des données) and the Code pénal to the Code du travail, la loi sur les sociétés commerciales, and more — directly from Claude, Cursor, or any MCP-compatible client.

If you're building legal tech, compliance tools, or doing Luxembourg legal research, this is your verified reference database.

Built by Ansvar Systems -- Stockholm, Sweden


Why This Exists

Luxembourg legal research is scattered across Legilux, the Journal Officiel du Grand-Duché de Luxembourg, EUR-Lex, and bilateral treaty collections. Whether you're:

  • A lawyer validating citations in a brief, contract, or société anonyme filing
  • A compliance officer checking GDPR obligations or CSSF regulatory requirements
  • A legal tech developer building tools on Luxembourg law
  • A researcher tracing legislative history from projet de loi to loi publiée

...you shouldn't need a dozen browser tabs and manual PDF cross-referencing. Ask Claude. Get the exact provision. With context.

This MCP server makes Luxembourg law searchable, cross-referenceable, and AI-readable.


Example Queries

Once connected, just ask naturally (les requêtes fonctionnent en français ou en anglais):

  • "Que dit l'article 5 de la loi du 1er août 2018 relative à la protection des personnes physiques à l'égard du traitement des données à caractère personnel ?"
  • "Rechercher 'protection des données' dans la législation luxembourgeoise"
  • "La loi du 2 août 2002 relative à la protection des personnes à l'égard du traitement des données à caractère personnel est-elle toujours en vigueur ?"
  • "Quels articles du Code pénal concernent les infractions informatiques ?"
  • "Quelles lois luxembourgeoises transposent la directive NIS2 ?"
  • "Rechercher les dispositions sur le secret professionnel dans le Code du travail"
  • "Validate the citation 'loi du 1er août 2018, art. 62'"
  • "Which Luxembourg laws implement the GDPR?"

Verified data only — every citation is validated against official sources (Legilux / Journal Officiel). Zero LLM-generated content.


Why This Works

Verbatim Source Text (No LLM Processing):

  • All statute text is ingested from Legilux (legilux.public.lu) official sources
  • Provisions are returned unchanged from SQLite FTS5 database rows
  • Zero LLM summarization or paraphrasing — the database contains regulation text, not AI interpretations

Smart Context Management:

  • Search returns ranked provisions with BM25 scoring (safe for context)
  • Provision retrieval gives exact text by loi date/number + article
  • Cross-references help navigate without loading everything at once

Technical Architecture:

Legilux API → Parse → SQLite → FTS5 snippet() → MCP response                ↑                     ↑         Provision parser       Verbatim database query

Traditional Research vs. This MCP

Navigate multi-chapter statutes manuallyGet the exact provision with context
Manual cross-referencing between loisbuild_legal_stance aggregates across sources
"Cette loi est-elle toujours en vigueur ?" → check manuallycheck_currency tool → answer in seconds
Find EU basis → dig through EUR-Lexget_eu_basis → linked EU directives instantly
No API, no integrationMCP protocol → AI-native

Traditional: Search Legilux → Download PDF → Ctrl+F → Cross-reference with Journal Officiel → Check EUR-Lex → Repeat

Important Disclaimers

Legal Advice

THIS TOOL IS NOT LEGAL ADVICE

Statute text is sourced from official Legilux publications. However:

  • This is a research tool, not a substitute for professional legal counsel
  • Court case coverage is limited — do not rely solely on this for case law research
  • Verify critical citations against primary sources (Legilux, Journal Officiel) for court filings
  • EU cross-references are extracted from statute text and EUR-Lex metadata, not a complete implementation mapping
  • Multilingual jurisdiction — Luxembourg law exists in French, German, and Luxembourgish. This database covers French-language legislative texts. Verify against official Legilux publications for other language versions

Data Licenses

  • Statutes & Legislation: Luxembourgish-Loi-2001-Art-10-Permitted-Acts — Luxembourg copyright permitted-acts exception under Loi du 18 avril 2001 sur les droits d'auteur, Art. 10(8°), which authorises reproductions and communications to the public of official texts of a legislative, administrative or judicial nature. This is a permitted-acts exception, NOT a statutory public-domain carve-out: copyright subsists on the underlying texts and Art. 10(8°) authorises specific acts of reuse. Under ADR-030 Luxembourg sits at AMBER until the scope of permitted commercial redistribution by third-party reusers is fully clarified. Verified 2026-05-17.
