}

You can run the RIS MCP Server to give an AI assistant access to Austria’s official legal database, enabling natural language questions to be translated into precise RIS API queries and full document retrieval without needing an API key.

How to use

Once the RIS MCP Server is running, you connect your MCP client and ask questions in natural language. You can request federal or state laws, search court decisions, retrieve full documents, browse gazettes, or track changes across RIS collections. The server handles your requests by translating them into structured RIS API calls and returns results in markdown or JSON formats.

How to install

Prerequisites: You need Node.js version 20.0.0 or higher installed on your machine.

Install and run the MCP server locally using the following commands.

# Install the MCP server locally (example)
npx ris-mcp-ts

Additional setup and notes

You can also run the server directly by installing the package globally, then starting it.

Alternatively, you can use the package manager to install and run the server if you prefer a global install.
