▶ Try this MCP instantly via Ansvar Gateway

50 free queries/day · no card required · OAuth signup at ansvar.eu/gateway

One endpoint, one OAuth signup, access from any MCP-compatible client.

Connect

Claude Code (one line):

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

Claude Desktop / Cursor — add to claude_desktop_config.json (or mcp.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 flow at ansvar.eu/gateway. 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).

Norwegian statutes and central regulations via api.lovdata.no — NLOD 2.0 licensed.

Query current Norwegian statutes (gjeldende lover) directly from Claude, Cursor, or any MCP-compatible client. Data sourced from Lovdata's sanctioned bulk API under NLOD 2.0.

Built by Ansvar Systems

Data source: Lovdata Open Data API (api.lovdata.no/v1/publicData). This MCP uses only the publicly-licensed bulk download endpoint. It does not scrape lovdata.no/dokument/ HTML.

Why This Exists

Norwegian legal research is scattered across Lovdata, Norsk Lovtidend publications, and EUR-Lex. Whether you're:

• A lawyer validating citations in a brief or contract
• A compliance officer checking if a statute is still in force
• A legal tech developer building tools on Norwegian law
• A researcher tracing legislative history from proposition to statute

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

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