Swedish Law

You can query 717 Swedish statutes directly from Claude or compatible MCP clients, with full provision text, cross-references to EU law, and up-to-date legal data. This MCP server makes Swedish law searchable, AI-friendly, and easy to integrate into your legal tech or research workflows.

How to use

Connect to the Swedish law MCP server via an MCP client of your choice. You have two primary options: use the remote hosted endpoint or run the server locally. Once connected, you can search for specific statutes, retrieve exact provisions, check if a statute is in force, and explore EU cross-references and preparatory works. Use natural language queries like “What does Dataskyddslagen say about consent?” or “Which Swedish laws implement the GDPR?” to get precise provisions with context.

How to install

Prerequisites you need before starting include having Node.js and npm installed on your machine. You will also need internet access to download the MCP package or reach the remote endpoint.

# Run the MCP server locally using the recommended shortcut
npx @ansvar/swedish-law-mcp

# Alternatively, start the server in development mode if you prefer a local build workflow
npm run dev

Additional sections

Configure how you connect from clients that support the MCP protocol. You can use the remote endpoint directly from Claude, Claude Code, Claude Desktop, or GitHub Copilot services. For local development, you can start a local MCP server using npm or npx, and then point your clients to the local instance if needed.
