NORMOT MCP server
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)
Tools
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).
Connect
Claude (claude.ai, Claude Desktop): Settings → Connectors → Add custom connector → URL https://mcp.normot.co.il/mcp.
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:
How it works
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.
Develop
NORMOT_API_BASE overrides the API address (default https://normot.co.il/api).
Deployment and registry publishing: DEPLOY.md (in Russian).
