directory.get
The directory envelope (v0.2, authority: manifest). Real entries only — a data source enters on one of three admission routes (E21); an empty list is the honest state, never padded.

swiss.openhelvetiaPublished by openhelvetia.swissOfficial publisherv0.1.0Updated Oct 24, 2026
Swiss federal law (Fedlex) and political data (LINDAS) for agents, every answer with sources
Remote MCP server giving assistants sourced access to Swiss federal law via Fedlex, plus Swiss directory and I14Y catalogue data.
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/swiss.openhelvetia%2Fgateway/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.

irirequiredlangOne entry's manifest by slug. A slug the directory does not hold is a not-found error carrying the E21 admission rule.
slugrequiredThe platform capability register with published per-client coverage — tool names on this server ARE the capability ids.
Takes no parameters.
Stage two of two-stage discovery: the full input schemas of the named tools, byte-identical to what tools/list carries, because both are read from the same router. An unknown id is refused by name rather than silently dropped.
namesrequiredStage one of two-stage discovery: every mounted tool with its capability id, domain, one-line summary and budget weight — and NO input schemas. Ask this first to learn what exists, then pull the schemas of the few tools you intend to call (meta.schemas). Context economy as a capability, not a client convention (E16 Ziff. 1).
Takes no parameters.
The publishing path — the only way into the directory: the three E21/E13 routes plus the honest interim state.
Takes no parameters.
The manifest standard's sealed artifact register: path, canonical IRI, draft/published status and SHA-256 per contract file.
Takes no parameters.

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.
Declare a GitHub repository with a README, or serve resource_documentation in the OAuth protected-resource metadata.
A hosted service is used under its provider's terms, so no license is expected here. This check is left out of the percentage.
