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

The publisher's own server: Ansvar: Dutch Law

Overview

AI-generated overview

A local MCP server that makes Polish legislation searchable, letting an assistant find statutes, retrieve exact provisions, validate citations and trace EU law.

What you can do
Search and read Polish law: full-text search across statutes and provisions, retrieve a specific provision by journal identifier and article number, and list available statutes with provenance and dataset statistics. Validate and format citations, check whether a statute is in force, amended or repealed, and aggregate citations into a legal stance across statutes, case law and preparatory works. Trace EU law: find the EU directives and regulations behind a Polish statute or provision, find Polish laws implementing a given EU act, search EU documents by Polish implementation counts, and check implementation status.
When to use it
For Polish legal research, compliance work and legal-tech development: checking what a provision says, confirming a citation, seeing whether an act is still in force, or comparing Polish transposition with EU requirements such as GDPR or NIS2.
Requirements
Runs locally over stdio as the npm package @ansvar/polish-law-mcp, so Node.js is needed. The pre-built corpus is not in the repository; the README points to a hosted gateway with an OAuth signup and tiered free/premium plans, or you can build the database yourself from the Sejm ELI API with the repo's ingestion scripts. No environment variables or headers are declared.
Before you install
The README states this is not legal advice and that critical citations should be verified against primary sources; case law, preparatory works and agency guidance are limited or premium-tier only. Queries go through the assistant's API, so privileged or confidential matters should use on-premise deployment. The hosted gateway requires an account and its tier governs quota and reachable content. Self-hosting means fetching data from external government sources.

Installation

In SourceWeft

  1. Open Polish 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

Polish Law MCP Server

The Polish 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 ISAP (Internetowy System Aktów Prawnych) alternative for the AI age.

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

Query 8,943 Polish statutes -- from Ustawa o ochronie danych osobowych (UODO/RODO) and Kodeks karny to Kodeks cywilny, Kodeks spółek handlowych, Kodeks pracy, and more -- directly from Claude, Cursor, or any MCP-compatible client.

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

Built by Ansvar Systems -- Stockholm, Sweden


Why This Exists

Polish legal research means navigating ISAP (Sejm), the Dziennik Ustaw, and EUR-Lex, then manually reconciling between national statutes and EU directives. Whether you're:

  • A lawyer validating citations in a brief or contract
  • A compliance officer checking UODO (RODO) obligations or KSC requirements
  • A legal tech developer building tools on Polish law
  • A researcher tracing legislative provisions published in Dziennik Ustaw from 1918 to 2026

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

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


Example Queries

Once connected, just ask naturally:

  • "Co mówi art. 5 Ustawy o ochronie danych osobowych (UODO) o zasadach przetwarzania danych?"
  • "Wyszukaj 'ochrona danych osobowych' w polskim prawie (UODO/RODO)"
  • "Jakie przepisy Kodeksu karnego dotyczą przestępstw komputerowych?"
  • "Znajdź artykuły o wypowiedzeniu umowy o pracę w Kodeksie pracy"
  • "What EU directives does the Polish Ustawa o krajowym systemie cyberbezpieczeństwa (KSC) implement?"
  • "Which Polish laws implement the NIS2 Directive?"
  • "Sprawdź, czy Ustawa Dz.U. 2018 poz. 1000 jest nadal w mocy"
  • "Wyszukaj 'odpowiedzialność cywilna' w Kodeksie cywilnym"
  • "Compare NIS2 incident reporting requirements with the Polish KSC transposition"
  • "Znajdź orzeczenia sądowe dotyczące RODO z 2023 roku (premium)"

Verified data only -- every citation is validated against official sources (api.sejm.gov.pl, isap.sejm.gov.pl). Zero LLM-generated content.


See It In Action

Why This Works

Verbatim Source Text (No LLM Processing):

  • All statute text is ingested from the Sejm ELI API (api.sejm.gov.pl) covering all Dziennik Ustaw publications
  • 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 Dz.U. year/position + article number
  • Cross-references help navigate without loading everything at once

Technical Architecture:

Sejm ELI API (api.sejm.gov.pl) --> Parse --> SQLite --> FTS5 snippet() --> MCP response                                     ^                        ^                              Provision parser         Verbatim database query

Traditional Research vs. This MCP

Traditional ApproachThis MCP Server
Search ISAP by act nameSearch by plain Polish: "ochrona danych osobowych"
Navigate multi-chapter acts manuallyGet the exact provision with context
Manual cross-referencing between actsbuild_legal_stance aggregates across sources
"Czy ta ustawa jest w mocy?" -> check manuallycheck_currency tool -> answer in seconds
Find EU basis -> dig through EUR-Lexget_eu_basis -> linked EU directives instantly
Check ISAP, Dziennik Ustaw, EUR-Lex separatelyDaily automated freshness checks
No API, no integrationMCP protocol -> AI-native

Traditional: Search ISAP -> Download PDF -> Ctrl+F -> Cross-reference with RODO -> Check EUR-Lex -> Repeat

This MCP: "Jakie unijne przepisy stanowią podstawę art. 22 UODO o zautomatyzowanym podejmowaniu decyzji?" -> Done.

Important Disclaimers

Legal Advice

THIS TOOL IS NOT LEGAL ADVICE

Statute text is sourced from official Sejm ELI API (Dziennik Ustaw) publications. However:

  • This is a research tool, not a substitute for professional legal counsel
  • Court case coverage is limited (premium tier) -- do not rely solely on this for case law research
  • Verify critical citations against primary sources for court filings
  • EU cross-references are extracted from Polish statute text, not EUR-Lex full text
  • Regulatory guidance (UODO decisions) has limited coverage in the free tier

Before using professionally, read: DISCLAIMER.md | PRIVACY.md

Client Confidentiality

Queries go through the Claude API. For privileged or confidential matters, use on-premise deployment. For guidance on professional obligations, consult the Naczelna Rada Adwokacka (Polish Bar Council). See PRIVACY.md for compliance guidance.

Data Licenses

Ansvar attribution code: PL-Statutory-PD. Basis: Ustawa o prawie autorskim Art. 4 — Polish statutory-PD carve-out for legislative and administrative acts.

  • Statutes & Legislation: Kancelaria Sejmu RP — ISAP. Public domain under Art. 4 of the Polish Copyright Act, covering ustawy, rozporządzenia, obwieszczenia, and other legislative/administrative acts.
  • EU Metadata: EUR-Lex (EU public-domain notice).

Coverage scope (narrow carve-out)

Art. 4 of the Polish Copyright Act is NARROW — it does not enumerate court decisions.

  • IN-SCOPE under Art. 4: statutes (ustawy), drafts, regulations (rozporządzenia), administrative acts, official notices.
  • OUT-OF-SCOPE under Art. 4: court decisions. These require a separate basis:
    • Civil judgments: K.p.c. Art. 9 (Code of Civil Procedure).
    • Criminal judgments: K.p.k. Art. 100 (Code of Criminal Procedure).
  • Why this matters: This MCP ships the statute tier from ISAP under Art. 4. A case-law tier would require a separate licensing declaration.

See docs/audits/2026-05-17-eu-copyright-statutory-works-batch-4-LV-LT-PL.md in the Ansvar architecture-documentation repo for the verbatim Art. 4 text and the coverage analysis.
