Israeli building and planning norms: permits, fire, accessibility; Hebrew text, source, citation.
Remote MCP server for NORMOT, a database of Israeli building and planning norms, letting an assistant search norms, check what applies to a project and cite…
Web executable via Streamable HTTP. Remote servers run from the web runtime once configured in a workspace.
Paste this prompt into Claude Code, Codex, Cursor or another agent — or into SourceWeft chat. The agent reads this server's install guide, shows you its publisher, endpoint and sign-in, and adds it to your client once you agree. Keys never go into a command.
Read https://sourceweft.com/mcp/io.github.danvolsky-source%2Fnormot/install.md and connect the MCP server it describes to my client. Before changing any config, show me its publisher, endpoint and sign-in method and wait for my OK. Never put an API key in a command or in a file I would commit; ask me where it should come from.Add this to your client's mcpServers config.

}A remote Model Context Protocol server for NORMOT, a database of Israeli building and planning norms: laws, regulations, ministry and agency guidelines, municipal spatial guidelines (הנחיות מרחביות) and references to SII standards. About 120,000 norms, each with a permanent URL, its source document and section, dates in force, and a record of how its text was checked against the printed source.
It lets AI assistants and agents (Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor and other MCP clients) look norms up directly and cite them.
Endpoint: https://mcp.normot.co.il/mcp (Streamable HTTP, no sign-in)
All tools are read-only.
Norm texts are in Hebrew, as in the source. NORMOT is not an official publication: the binding text is the official publication. Every result carries the norm's permanent URL and, for single norms, a ready citation line. Quoting single norms with a link is welcome; copying the database or a substantial part of it needs agreement (terms).

Claude Code:
Cursor / VS Code / other clients: add a remote (Streamable HTTP) server with the URL above. Clients that only support stdio can use mcp-remote:
The server is a thin, stateless layer over the public NORMOT read API. It holds no data of its own and inherits the API's rate limits; it clips long texts in lists and drops display-only fields so results fit an agent's context. It does not expose the site's semantic search (/api/hybrid).
It logs one line per call (method, tool name, client name, timing), never the arguments.
NORMOT_API_BASE overrides the API address (default https://normot.co.il/api).
Deployment and registry publishing: DEPLOY.md (in Russian).

Search norms
Search Israeli building and planning norms by Hebrew words (substring search over norm texts, sections and document titles; norms in force come first). Returns norms with their permanent URL; call get_norm for the full text and citation.
limitqueryrequiredoffsetGet one norm
One norm by id: full Hebrew text, applicability, source document and section, dates in force, numeric values, exceptions, how its text was checked against print (print_check), and a ready citation line (cite).
idrequiredList project profile options
Valid codes for a project profile: uses, stages, cities (municipality slugs), plot conditions (sites), project elements (features), roles and requirement areas. Call before project_overview or project_requirements if unsure of a code.
whichProject overview (what applies)
For a project profile (use, city, stage and optional details): how many norms apply, which depend on missing data or need a specialist, the next permit actions with their legal source, and which questions would narrow the list most. Every omitted detail keeps norms in (over-inclusive by design).

The norms that apply to a project profile, 50 per page, filterable by requirement area (e.g. fire, egress, parking, accessibility), by state and by Hebrew words. Texts are clipped; call get_norm for the full text.

For one norm and a project profile: does it apply, why (by use, authority, stage) and which conditions could change that.

The building-permit process mapped to the stages of the Planning Administration's online system רישוי זמין, with the norms behind each step, plus how the database's texts were checked and the measured error rates. Without a phase: an overview of all phases. With a phase code: its steps and norms. The mapping is NORMOT's work, not a Planning Administration publication.
phaseRecent source changes
What NORMOT's monitor detected in its sources (changed documents, expiring norms, latest Reshumot issues) and what was verified. With a profile, only documents relevant to that project.

How complete this listing is, computed from the registry entry, the endpoint and public sources. Not a rating of the server and not a statement that it is safe or working today: reachability is a dated check, and no installs or reviews go into the score.
